Asterion
Science Fiction & Fantasy
The world of the near future. Dictatorships still exist. One such place is America. The America of the past is not the America of the future. Fear and uncertainty has led to a leader for life who has taken control of everything. Every business, private organization and even religion is under his control. The common apathy has led to austerity. Control is tenuous at best, but it will be maintained, at any and all costs. Taylor Scott, scientist desires to turn his experience creating military technology into an ambitious humanitarian project that will alleviate the shortages and improve life for the citizens by creating a semi-intelligent beast of burden capable of performing agricultural tasks. Plentiful food, better quality of life for the citizens and reduced fossil fuel consumption are the benefits. However, the leader for life has another plan, a sinister purpose for the beasts. His operatives on the inside modify the experiment and steal Taylor’s intellectual property to create a beast that is battle ready and can wield the power of the leader without reservation and with no remorse. Miscalculation? No, cold calculation. Mistake? No, total domination of the populace is within grasp. Taylor continues the experiment with the help of fellow scientist, Christine Summers who shares his interests and their interest in each other grows. Playing God has its consequences.

The time has come . . . The Nephilim, abominations that represent the offspring of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of man,” have stepped out of the shadows in a bid to conquer humankind.

And in between: HUMANITY. Young physicist and archaeologist Trevor Pendleton is tasked with assembling a team to unravel the mysteries of the natural and supernatural that threaten to ravage mankind and rip the world apart. Time is short and the stakes could not be higher.

The Professor's wit
Prof. Pendleton's mouth is a source of some of his troubles. While brilliant, it can sometimes be his undoing.
Who is the Professor?
What are the characteristics of the heroes of literature and media. We tend to gravitate toward the grandiose, larger than life characters that are able to vanquish the most formidable of antagonists. A few that come to mind are Ulysses of old and John Wayne in more recent times. We enjoy a character that is resourceful, quick witted and capable of defeating the enemy. In modern times Indiana Jones, Doctor Who and for those who can remember, The Quatermass series come to mind. The world turns to them for their knowledge and abilities. They are the best chance humanity has to overcome and survive Professor Trevor Pendleton possesses those qualities and he becomes the hero for the 21st. Century.
