50000 A.D. The Awakening

Rate this book
What happens when a person from the 21st century wakes up 50,000 years in the future?

You might say that Henry Matthews is the luckiest man in the universe.
By pure chance, in 2012, his head along with all his thoughts and
memories were protected and preserved, allowing him to stay alive for
50,000 years.

* What does this future hold?
* Total peace?
* Long life?
* Enlightened Democracy?
. . . or something else.

50,000 years in the future

Henry Matthews is about to embark on a journey of great discovery.

What does this future think of him?

Since their own ancient record of human existence only goes back 35,000
years, trillions of people are startled to discover the existence of an
unknown ancient history when Henry awakens.

However, some refuse to believe human history is older than 35,000
years, so that could only mean one thing. Henry Matthews must be
something other than a human being.

. . . but what?

This novel also tries to establish relationships between 'ancient'
and 'new' by comparing a few aspects of the different cultures and
languages that you would expect to change over these vast periods of
time: does the hero of the story manage to figure out what the new
languages he encounters evolved from?

PART 1 - How Henry Matthews finds his way to 50,000 A.D.
PART 2 - How he is discovered and what
anxiety and/or thrills it causes in these future societies in both a
political and spiritual way.
PART 3 - Henry is revived and his relationship to this new era is exposed.
PART 4 - Opps! sorry no spoilers (but you will be intrigued by what happens).

I have written mostly science fiction books in the past, and I write about things I'm passionate about. I would love to know what life would be like in the future, so I wrote:
'50,000 A.D. The Awakening. (youtube promo videos: bit.ly/1dnGkR4, bit.ly/1HnuYKW)
- It's about a person who survives 50,000 years and wakes up in the future.

My latest book, 'NSA Wormhole Project' is a new book involving wormhole travel and discoveries involving both medieval people and a mysterious race living on a far away planet. (youtube promo videos: bit.ly/1BLw0Os, bit.ly/1LO6ZCu)

My previous book, 'The Royal Kidnapping', is my first attempt at a mystery thriller.
- It's a 'what if' story of Queen Elizabeth II having a son born in 1950 instead of a daughter, and he is later kidnapped and then found almost 50 years later (one tiny little spoiler: he eventually meets his mother the Queen, and she finds out he works for an organized crime mob!). (youtube promo videos: bit.ly/1CET50n, bit.ly/1Jtk8DB)

A book I collaborated in writing:
'GREETINGS EARTHLINGS, My name is Appleton and I come from the planet Reginta.'
- I helped Appleton write this. For those of you who don't believe in UFOs and extraterrestrials, I had the privilege a while back of meeting Appleton the alien from the Omega Star Cluster. I collaborated with him to write a book about his adventurers on Earth. Little did I realize that they had infiltrated both the Democratic and Republican parties but had also been involved with things like Roswell, Stonehenge, Noah's ark, Lockness monster, as well as the Arizona crater (that was actually caused by their space ship crash landing on Earth when they first discovered this planet).
These aliens technology is so advanced they have been able to travel to heaven and back!

'Last Shuttle Flight, First Alien Contact' - PARTS 1, II, III, and an omnibus version.
- This is fantasy of what would have happened if the Space Shuttle Atlantis would have been followed by a flying saucer when it came in for its final landing. (youtube promo videos: bit.ly/1C2mhUf, bit.ly/1IGLfW1)

I'm torn because on the one hand, the plot had great potential and it's obvious the author too the time to flesh out his universe to an unusual degree. On the other hand, the writing style was so bad, I truly had to force myself to finish this. It read like it was written for elementary school students. It's really too bad, because I was excited by the plot description and would have forgiven some amount of bad writing, but the way the plot meandered along combined with the absolutely horrible writing style made me clench my teeth in frustration. I was disappointed by the writing and by how the plot ended up being dealt with - it ended up being more of a murder-mystery/thriller than sci-fi. By the time I reached the end, I just wanted it to end.

Very interesting concept. There are a couple of plot holes, such as: how could Henry's laptop survive 50000 years and still have it's info recoverable, how did he add up in space so far from earth and how is Wikipedia as a whole on said laptop. Still it is a very good novel by a first time author

An interesting read. I'm not sure how much I buy into it the initial plot, but I still finished it and enjoyed the story and characters.
