Dark Beauty
Dark Beauty
Dark Beauty is a novella written as a tribute to Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. It has been written in his style, with anecdotes from his life, and like his classic work, it incorporates actual events into a fictional setting. Billy Crusader and Dakota Monroe have been kidnapped by aliens and are housed in the Arctrixmatrian extraterrestrial zoological gardens in a distant galaxy. The director of the zoo is concerned about their welfare and seeks to communicate with them through a series of visions, but these are actual historical events that unfold on Earth. The Arcs see in four dimensions. Compressing their reasoning down to a linear set of words, such as a sentence, requires considerable effort. Billy and Dakota may be held captive on the other side of the universe, but they find themselves contemplating the pivotal points of human history from the perspective of the Arcs. FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity's first interaction with extraterrestrial life. This series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that the series is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they're all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.
