About the Book
Synopsis
He Sees Her in His Dreams
What inspires us?
Where do we get the ideas for a
new invention, a novel, or a hot-selling computer game?
Ray Perkins, military dropout,
lives a reclusive life in a Northern California cottage. He
writes computer games that have been praised worldwide, and
have become best sellers. But he has never told anyone but
his very few closest friends the source of his inspiration
for those stories: his dreams.
Almost every night since he was a
victim of a strange accident during a secret military
mission during the Gulf War, he has had those dreams.
Horrible dreams. Of spaceships and bloody battles in outer
space above a far-off planet.
And then there is she!
Her sad-eyed, beautiful face and
figure dominates those dreams. She seems to call him,
beckoning him. Two lost souls searching desperately for each
other.
One day a chance glance at a
small newspaper story about rumors of alien landings in
Nevada strikes a nerve. Maybe there's a kernel of truth
behind those frightening dreams. So Perkins sets off on a
foolhardy mission to find the truth. And it is a terrible
truth indeed, a truth that spans time and space. In our
future, over 200 years from now, the alien woman of his
dreams really exists.
And she, too, has dreams, dreams
about him.
But it’s not just a story of two
would-be lovers trying desperately to find each other. It is
a story of imminent danger and a threat to our way of life,
for this woman is also the commander of a huge armada of
spaceships that are coming here to destroy the Earth!
Will Ray Perkins' impossible
journey in search of his one true love and the terrifying
truth behind the dreams that obsess him come to a sad,
tragic fate?
Attack of the
Rockoids
is not just the story of one man’s incredible search for the
meaning of his own life. It is an exciting, spellbinding
story of high adventure in the grand science fiction
tradition.
