Experiment with computer generated worlds and societies backfires when actual contact is created with a warrior world that plans to use the connection to invade and conquer the earth. Only their own Prophet/Prince stands between their unsavory pursuits and that of Humanity's survival.
At 181 pages, I'm looking at this now as a three movie script (or miniseries) that I will break out as such.
First script would be earth side.
Second other planet side.
Third, final situation.
This is on hold as I am currently too busy with other projects.
