Remember watching Independence Day? You cheered as the characters played by Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum battled the alien forces. Or maybe you prefer the big screen version of the classic H.G. Wells novel, War of the Worlds. Which one do you prefer, the 1953 version, or 2005 movie with Tom Cruise?
So what other a
lien invasion movies do you enjoy? Goofy movies, like Mars Attacks, or maybe you’re more of a mash-potato mountain-building kind of fan, ala Close Encounters of the Third Kind? And let’s not forget some of those great X-Files episodes that helped build its mythology, such as E.B.E, The Erlenmeyer Flask, and Little Green Men.
We have a fascination with the stars, and often dream up other worlds and species that are not of this earth. People create fun and exciting worlds such as Star Trek and Star Wars, The Foundation Trilogy, and Dune. The technology makes us wish that we lived in those future centuries, not to mention the adventures the heroes of those universes experience.
But what we don’t want is life from another planet coming to ours and trying to invade our space. So we cheer for Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix) to “swing away” in Signs, and salute Russell Casse (Randy Quaid) for his moment of valor in Independence Day. Those are moments that tug at the heartstrings, when it looks like all hope is lost and a hero steps up to the plate. Us versus them.
Eric Tozzi’s novel, Apocalypse Weird: Phoenix Lights, brings you the thrill of man versus alien. Based on the Phoenix Lights incident in 1997, this is the alien invasion thriller you’ve been waiting for! And to top it all off, it’s currently on sale for just 99 cents! Don’t let this one slip away into hyperspace…get it now!
