First Contact as a science-fiction theme is perhaps the most fascinating -- because so many seem to believe we've experienced it in the real world! Have we been contacted by alien entities? We can't answer that question here at the Mothership, but we can use it as a springboard for a great TK issue! Forgotten Contact refers to a world where contact with aliens has somehow been forgotten. Lost to time -- or maybe hushed-up?

Richard Chosset's grandfather and the US Coast Guard cutter he commanded went missing in 1945, and Richard is determined to find its resting place. In his search, Richard accidentally discovers the fate of the historical Lost Squadron, Flight 19. Joined by the head of his father's security team, Zeus, Richard hunts for clues to secret Nazi technologies across Europe while being relentlessly pursued by men bent on their destruction. Richard and Zeus track a Nazi expedition that stole ancient artifacts that has dire consequences for the world. As they continue hunting the truth, Richard and Zeus find themselves on the ocean floor, confronting the ghosts of the past and the conspiracy trying to keep it all at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle.

Earth got First Contact on January 19, 2022. At least, in my science fiction universe! 1st chapters of a lot of stories. The stories that get the most votes will move up on my never-ending list of pending novels. My next story is Ray, Host. [2024 or 2025] So the slot after this one is up for grabs! You, gentle readers, may be the judge of which story you want to see next! I will begin with the first chapter of Adia, One Of Prophecy [just finished and awaiting a final edit next month] and the first chapter of Ray, Host. I will include the first chapters of all my Battle Of The Cubes stories, then work my way through my catalog, uploading on Tue, Thu and Sat at 1 am. See my DannisWrites reading list for my suggested reading order. Enjoy!

In the early 21st Century, Humanity made First Contact. By the end of it, they lost Earth. However, they survived, carving their place in the sea of stars, hoping one day to finally retake back their home world. The void, though, is a dangerous place. Another alien artifact was found near one of their border worlds, which would lead to another conflict. Would Humanity be ready for this?
