Journey III

Return to Earth

Beschreibung

From "The Day the Earth Stood Still" to "War of the Worlds" and all the similar attempts to portray alien visitors to our world, the wonder of this genre will continue unabated. "ET" appealed to the wonder in all of us for things out there. "Ghost" spoke to the hope we all have for life after death, the concomitant desire that love conquers all and that sinners ultimately pay. Any message intended by "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was unfulfilled in the wonderment and wizardry of the overpowering special effects. The portrayal of extraterrestrials in movies and television has either been the evil invaders or the mysterious entities, too esoteric for us to interface with. Envision in your mind such repeat visitors that are real, with definite purpose, who reach out to Earth's common man and woman in fulfilling that purpose. By so doing, such a visit would be similar to that of an intelligent mankind's visit to other worlds. Envision such a purpose that regales the heart in explaining the soul and its possibilities, when corporeal life is no more. Such a story is "Journey III: Return to Earth." "Journey III" set in the world events of 1980 will appeal to the Everyman's dream-the dream to participate in the adventure and hope that lives in each of us. Hang on.

Autor

F. Thomas Warren born April 30, 1938, in Bath, New York. Journey III is F. Thomas Warren's first attempt at a novel. He has a second novel nearly complete ("The Blue Man") and the outline for a third in progress as well. F. Thomas Warren is a semiretired construction executive whose primary writing background has been technical and business-oriented, with a great deal of published letters to the editor on a variety of subjects. With a tendency to write late-night visitations into diary form, there is a wealth of pages that beg to be developed-ah, someday, we say. F. Thomas Warren has lived in Vietnam, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, Kuwait, Malaysia, and Bulgaria and traveled the globe for over forty years. He has four grown children, three of whom were born in foreign countries, as he and his growing family were on large-scale construction project assignments. F. Thomas Warren returned to University at the age of thirty-six. He became the director of the University Experimental College, a free university within a university that challenged his heretofore conservative lifestyle and opinions. While there, he created one of the country's first mind-body-sport symposiums that included Michael Murphy (founder of Esalen), Timothy Galwey, George Leonard, and Will Shutz, among others. Science fiction favorites range from Heinlein's "Space Cadet" and "Stranger in a Strange Land." Ray Bradbury, Philip Dick, H. G. Wells, Arthur Clarke, along with "Blade Runner," and the first three "Star Wars" sagas are some "keepers" in F. Thomas Warren's library and mind bank. As he is at the mid-point of his seventh decade, it is with the hope that an open mind, life experience, travel and an undying curiosity will fuel more ventures into works of fiction. "Journey III" is wishful thinking, imagination and hopefully enjoyable for those who take the ride.
