Eveofthewar.co.uk spoke to the author of I-ALONE about his excellent book and here is what he had to say...
In a salute to classic science fiction, and 50s sci-fi movies, I ALONE- War of the Worlds follows two scientists as they search for a way to defeat the invaders; narrowly escaping death themselves on more than one occasion. This book is interactive. Navigate your way through the story, to EIGHT DIFFERENT ENDINGS!
I spoke to the author about his excellent book and here is what he had to say...
"As you might have seen, the book has multiple endings. In one I tie in Roswell and Area 51. (I checked with my local 'conspriracy theorist' and he said he never heard or read of a Roswell theory similar to the fictional scenario in my book.) I also pay tribute to Wells' TWOTW, and make it very clear to the reader that his book influenced mine and I'm acknowledging it.
The book also has multi-national settings, and I did not forget our British cousins. In fact, one chapter is titled 'The Battles of London and New York.' I note the bravery with which the British face the aliens. (I was inspired after watching a documentary about The Battle of Britain in WWII.)
I sketched this book out ten years ago, and it was originally going to be titled 'Remembrance Day,' as the aliens attack on November 11. But of course when Independence Day came out I had to scrap that idea. But I do refer to Remembrance Day in the book, and the aliens still do attack on the 11th."
