The Ancient Astronaut Files
This short story collection delves into the origins of our civilization. How we came to be and where we will end up if we are not careful. One story is about a small alien sent to Earth to help a primitive couple become more civilized and what kind of chaos ensues.
The other involves a NASA astronaut discovering the truth about our origins and what harm it cause once he delves further into the truth. Enter if you dare....
Excerpt:
Adam Hawthorne, a former NASA astronaut rode on plane to Houston, Texas. Where he planned to give a lecture on safety in aeronautics. Then all of a sudden, he jerked as a the plane went down, and the veins in his neck popped out. He felt the weight of the plane pull him and the passengers down, gripping the arm rests of his seat. Before he knew it, the plane crashed in the water and everyone fought for their lives.
''Help!'' a voice shouted. ''Help!''
Soon, he was out of the plane, and trying to get a few people to safety. Hawthorne dragged them out of the water, back to shore where he did CPR. Each of them appeared to be okay. He went back into the ocean to grab any others out there who might be suffering. Getting as many as he could, he repeated the same process, get them to shore and give them CPR. It appeared to work on all of them.
''Where are we?''
He looked around at the island, wishing he knew the answer to this himself, after hearing one of them ask. The other survivors appeared to be alright, once they got to their feet. Hawthorne went through a jungle, wanting to see more of this place and get a better understanding of where they were. They could all be on an island either in The Atlantic or The Pacific. Texas was in the middle of the two.
That was, if he and others even made it to Texas. There was no way to pinpoint his location so far. Yet he did find a cave in the middle of this jungle. He was stunned to even find it. Maybe it would provide some answer to where they were. Hawthorne did not know, but the only way to find out was to get inside the cave and find out. He tiptoed toward the cave, unsure of what he would find inside.

About the author
Justin L. Murphy
36 books9 followersBorn November 26, 1985 in Dothan, Alabama.
Whether it be Fiction or Non-Fiction, Justin Murphy has always tried to explore many themes in his work. One is probing into the darkness of pure evil with The Original Night Stalker: Portrait of A Killer, a fictional story based on a real life murderer. After the killer was caught, he wrote Joseph James DeAngelo: His Reign of Terror Is Over. Starting from the killer’s troubled childhood to the terrible burglaries, rapes, and murder he committed. The latter is more centered on the true facts of the case.
He also enjoys exploring obscure figures often forgotten in entertainment. Such as with his most recent success Gene L. Coon: The Unsung Hero of Star Trek. It profiles the ex-Marine, pharmacist, and journalist who did the actual heavy lifting on The Original Series. And built the universe around Gene Roddenberry’s initial concepts. The author spent several months researching in newspaper archives and Star Trek related publications to uncover the life of this little-known figure. Within a month, this book has surpassed most of his catalog and continues growing. It is also his longest book in five years and is giving him a resurgence on Kindle.
This has been followed up with Leslie Stevens: The Unsung Hero of Battlestar Galactica. A former Broadway playwright and film director who shepherded the sci-fi classic during its early development as a seven hour miniseries. Despite Glen A. Larson’s it was based a concept called Adam’s Ark he developed a decade earlier. Larson and Stevens earlier worked with Gene L. Coon on such series as It Takes A Thief, The Name of The Game, and The Virginian. Gene Roddenberry also visited the set of Stevens’ earlier drama The Outer Limits. Emulating this approach for producing Star Trek.
He resides in Orlando, Florida with his younger brother and other family members. And has also taken up Photography in the last couple years.
