I've always loved me a good sci-fi, like 12 Monkeys, The Matrix, and Inception. There are no bounds when writing in this genre, the author can let their imagination spark to life and create wonderful new worlds.
Get it??
'Cause the front cover has two worlds.
Booo! Okay that was bad, but you get my meaning.
Author Christopher A. Gray has certainly allowed his imagination to run free with his newest science fiction thriller, DARK NIGHTS.
Scroll down and have a look-see!!

DARK NIGHTS
by Christopher A. Gray
The machine believed it knew best how to save humanity... even if doing so meant destroying half the population.
Astrophysicist Doug Lockwood's unusual discovery
during his observation of the sun kicks off a chain of events that nobody could
have foreseen. The powerful political and military influences that compete to
deal with his discovery set Lockwood on a course which will carry him across
worlds, and into the grasp of a formidable new intelligence bent on
accomplishing its goal at any cost.
With Earth itself at stake and time running
out, Lockwood and his team must find a way to counter this unprecedented threat
before the powerful new enemy completes its plan.
Two civilizations are pitted
against each other in a desperate struggle for survival.
EXCERPT
Meyer shut the door after the last
person left and sat down in the nearest chair, directly across from Doug,
rather than his usual spot at the head of the table. Doug waited for him to
speak.
“It’s a planet,” Meyer said
finally. “And it’s in an orbit directly opposite ours, at a distance of
approximately one AU.”
Doug didn’t reply. The implications
were massive, as were the questions. After a few seconds, Meyer rose from his
seat and walked to the window, looking outside at the sloping volcanic Hawaiian
landscape as he talked.
“Nobody knows where it came from,
but it’s there, verified by NASA.”
“Using their STEREO satellites?”
“Yes, a few hours ago. But you and
Foley at Atacama saw it first. STEREO was trained on another star when you
logged the object. It took some time to reposition STEREO’s lenses. Because of
their orbital distance ahead and behind us, together they will be able to keep
tabs on the object at all times. We’re expecting some images soon, which will
be free of the sun’s coronal interference.”
“So we’ll have a better view and
can determine if its orbit is stable.”
“Correct.”
“But that doesn’t explain how it
got there.”
“Correct again. But thanks to your
discovery, and your reputation, you’ve been invited to an emergency conference
in Washington .
You’ll be meeting your plane at Pearl Harbor
in two hours. Don’t bother to pack, there’s a helicopter on its way here,
courtesy of the White House Chief Science Advisor.”
