Glimpse

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Jan. 22, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Daniel P. Douglas announces the release of a new short story entitled "Glimpse," a science fiction Cold War suspense thriller published by Geminid Press, LLC. In "Glimpse," a small group of agents who will become known as the "Men in Black" deploy in response to an event that will provide a harrowing glimpse into humanity's apocalyptic future.

"Glimpse" revolves around an actual mass UFO sighting that occurred over the course of several days in the Farmington, New Mexico area (Four Corners region) in March 1950. A very spectacular event, yet not many people are even aware of it.

"Glimpse" also includes an excerpt from Douglas's award-winning debut sci-fi conspiracy thriller, "Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project" (ISBN: 9780990737100). "In Truth Insurrected," Douglas tells the story of ex-FBI agent turned private investigator, William Harrison, who becomes embroiled in an attempt to reveal a sinister, decades-old government cover-up of alien contact.

"Truth Insurrected" was among the winners at the INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards in 2014 and the 2015 Readers' Favorite Book Awards.

Also a screenwriter, Douglas has adapted "Glimpse" into a short film script. The screenplay runs 24 pages and holds feature film development potential. Douglas's first screenplay, a short sci-fi thriller script entitled "Richter's War," has placed or won in multiple contests during 2015.

Geminid Press Announces New Release by Acclaimed Author Daniel P. Douglas of the Science Fiction Adventure, ‘The Outworlds: War Torrent’

Outworlds War Torrent

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June 23, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Geminid Press, LLC, an independent book publisher in Albuquerque, N.M., announces the release of "The Outworlds: War Torrent" (ISBN: 9780692450048 eISBN: 9780990737193), a new science fiction adventure by acclaimed author Daniel P. Douglas that is the first in a series. In "War Torrent," ancient reptilian aliens clash in a war that is the start of a new interstellar crusade orchestrated by evil ethereal entities whose intent is radical genetic purification of the galaxy, and Earth's Stone Age humans are their next target.

"War Torrent" is a novella, and the first book in "The Outworlds," a series of science fiction adventures set in the early twenty-fourth century at the fringe of human civilization. Although "War Torrent" steps outside that timeline, its prequel events, characters, and technology will have a major influence on the continuing storyline in "The Outworlds."

The science fiction book draws on the mystery of ancient aliens, in particular, reptilian humanoids, and related conspiracy theories about their alleged, past involvement with humans and possible engineering of our genes. It's also a military science fiction story with metaphysical and spiritual components. At times an outer space aliens conspiracy thriller, the bottom line is that "War Torrent" is a good versus evil story featuring unlikely heroes on a collision course with destiny.

Named a Foreword Reviews' 2014 IndieFab Book-of-the-Year Awards Science Fiction Finalist, Daniel P. Douglas is also listed by BestThrillers.com as one of 2015's Best New Mystery and Thriller Genre Writers. Douglas garnered these accolades in conjunction with his debut novel, "Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project." In it, readers plunge into a storyline featuring former FBI agent William Harrison, who finds himself hot on the trail of a major extraterrestrial cover-up.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Geminid Press, LLC, an independent book publisher in Albuquerque, N.M., today announced it has partnered with writer-director Jack Snyder to develop a screenplay for the acclaimed science fiction conspiracy thriller "Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project." In the suspenseful novel authored by Daniel P. Douglas, readers plunge into a sci-fi storyline featuring former FBI agent William Harrison - a reluctant yet admirable hero - who finds himself hot on the trail of a major extraterrestrial cover-up.

Douglas's debut science fiction novel has received its share of critical acclaim. Foreword Reviews recently recognized "Truth Insurrected" as a science fiction finalist in its 17th annual INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards. Winners will be announced in June 2015. Kirkus Reviews described "Truth Insurrected" as "A multigenre espionage tale that's unquestionably entertaining."

The Columbia Review of Books & Film highly recommended "Truth Insurrected" and described it as "An excellent science-fiction/conspiracy thriller." Best Thrillers described the novel as "An engrossing, deftly-crafted UFO conspiracy thriller that is easily one of the most successful tales to emerge out of Roswell alien lore."

"We are very pleased to partner with Jack Snyder, an award-winning filmmaker who has written, directed, and produced both features and short films," Geminid Press co-founder, Paul Garver, said. "Jack's a very talented professional, and given the popularity of the novel's subject matter, as can be seen in such examples as the pending return of the 'X-Files' and a sequel for 'Independence Day,' we're very excited about what the future may hold for a 'Truth Insurrected' screenplay."

The estimated timeframe for completion of the "Truth Insurrected" screenplay is June, 2015. Geminid Press published the science fiction thriller in October, 2014, and it is currently available in Kindle eBook, paperback, and audiobook editions.
