FreeForm: Crash: A Prequel to the FreeForm Series Kindle Edition

The world won’t know what hit it...
Tasked to assess a Level III Civilization deep in space, Sluneg is fast approaching the respective planet—one known only as Earth. When his vessel experiences a grave malfunction, an unlikely assistant may guide him to safety, but, without a quiet landing, the entire mission will be put in jeopardy. Can Crenosian technology live up to its intergalactic renown?

B.I.U.F.O.’s secret task force hasn’t missed the object barreling down on them, and, with lack of a better option, recently inducted field agent Pat Vogt is chosen to investigate. Somewhere in the mountains of North Carolina, a seeming aircraft is set for collision, but no one could possibly imagine the repercussions of its cargo.

Aboard, a dark cocoon is pulsing. Now, it’s a race against time.

In this pithy prequel to The FreeForm Series, Sci-Fi guru O.J. Bradford starts things off with a bang. Reinventing the novelette en route, Crash will captivate new readers and long-standing fans alike. Seeking a shortcut to serious fun? Your wormhole lies within.

Orrin Jason Bradford’s style has been compared to the “early works of Dean Koontz and the late great Michael Crichton.” Freeform: Crash is the prequel everyone has been waiting for in the action-packed, sci-fi Freeform series.

The FreeForm series includes:

    • FreeForm: Crash (a prequel)

    • FreeForm: Beginnings

    • FreeForm: Reborn

    • FreeForm: Resumed

    • FreeForm: New Birth

    • FreeForm: New Power

    • FreeForm: New Earth

    Former small animal veterinarian, W. Bradford Swift writes fantasy, science fiction, and visionary fiction. He is best known for his eco-fantasy books for teens and young adults to inspire them to become joyful lifelong readers as well as caring and responsible stewards for Earth and all its inhabitants. Dr. Swift believes reading for pleasure stretches the imagination of young readers in ways that TV, movies, or video games do not. He also loves to encourage young people to write their own stories, knowing that some of them will grow into the world’s future authors as he did.

    Swift became an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction as an eleven-year-old boy when his next-door neighbor, Ms. Crabtree, a children's librarian, took pity on his single-parent mom. Bored out of his gourd with no one to play with but his mom, he drove her crazy until Mrs. Crabtree brought home a stack of books she knew would hook a young boy's imagination. It worked. He has been an avid reader ever since, and for the past three decades an author as well. But it took an impulse buy that led him to start writing.

    One day in 1984, Swift strolled into an Apple Store and walked out a proud owner of a new Macintosh computer and printer. By Monday, he had a good case of buyer’s remorse as he agonized over my impulsive purchase. To justify this expensive toy, he decided it had to be a “sign”—time to start writing. He had toyed with the idea for years, but one look at the credit card statement alerted him to the time was NOW! The fuse for a new passion and career in writing was lit.

    Since that first spark, Swift has worn out several different Apple computers as he has enjoyed a ‘combo career’ as a writer and life coach resulting in:

    • 30 years of professional writing experience

    • Published over 2 dozen books

    • Contributed to dozens of national and international magazines

    • Over three decades of coaching including 20-plus years as a Life On Purpose Coach and leading transformational programs for Landmark Education (now Landmark Worldwide).

    He continues this combo career as an author and Write On Purpose Coaching empowering aspiring authors to move from one day wanting to write to moving forward today and without needing to suffer from buyer’s remorse.

    Swift lives in the “Paradise Found” of the North Carolina mountains with his wife and a menagerie of four-legged family members. He may be reached online in any of these ways:

    4.0 out of 5 stars Alien Invasion?
    Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This is a great introduction to the freefall series, but hardly a prequel. It is too short, and not at all a stand alone. It does introduce major characters, but without much depth.

    A UFO is spotted, tracked, and lost from view when it crashes. The alien emerges, vanishes into the Carolina woods just as a Blackhawk circles the area. Although the alien Sluneg is from a world unlike ours, emotionally he is all too human. There is no physical description, just some unusual abilities. And it ends with a chapter about a North Carolina family, but no connection to the current plot.
    And yet it is engaging. It captures the tedium of the unending search for something out there. It conveys the doubts and shock of finding more than a falling rock, and the suspense of why it is here. It give out the promise of a good story just beginning.

    If you'd like to read Freeform, or already have, I'd read this. It is a kind of prequel to the book. I say kind of because except for a few paragraphs, I felt it was just a different view of the beginning of Freeform.

    4.0 out of 5 stars De ja vu moments

    It is extraordinary. I read the entire Freeform series and thoroughly enjoyed each book. Starting to read Crash, the prequel to the Freeform series, I settled back contentedly to read....and found I finished reading it in just a few minutes flat. Wow. Almost a de ja vu moment as the full novels also seemed to get read far too fast and easily. At least now I know how Sluneg managed to crash his space craft on Earth and how Pat Vogt got in on the scene.
    Though a short story, quite entertaining. Enjoy.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019
    In the beginning was B.I.U.F.O. for the ending we must read the remainder of the series. It is a very exciting and interesting [but short] beginning, however, so I plan to follow Ms. Vogt in her quest to find out what just chewed up a North Carolina mountainside. Onward.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is a short prequel to a book series
    Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019
    Although the short story was quite short, it covered a lot of information which sets up the stories to come. It gave us some hints of plot development, plus introducing a few characters. I read it without having read any of the other books in the series, and it was very easy to follow, even without already knowing the characters. If you are interested in the book series, it would be a good idea to read this prequel.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The missing Link in the series!!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2019
    Reviewer: Teresa Fallen Angel

    Summary:
    This was the missing link for the Freeform series. Learning the background about what brought the Crenosin people to Earth and how the crash occurred. What the aliens really wanted it yet to be revealed. The task force to search for aliens never really expected to be activated and when it happened they were not really ready for what could happen. This was the perfect setup for the following series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Crash moves faster than light.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2019
    I opened up "Crash" and I could not put it down till I finished it. It held my attention so strongly. Like your favorite rollercoaster ride. I wanted to know how our 3rd choice of the B. I. U. F. O., Pat Vogt would do. What will Pat do if she finds the ship? Then I was caught up in the space ship that was hurling toward earth, where was it going to hit? Will the y survive? Back and forth the book takes you so you can't put it down. What dose this aliens look like? What is the mission he alien was on? I guess I'll have to continue to read in the next book.
    Page after page it holds you very tightly like a nice yummy flaky pastry.
