Roswell Diary

by M.E. Brines

Stuart Mackenzie doesn't want to be a hero, just an ordinary guy with a wife and a job and a mortgage, but Destiny had other plans. A decorated hero in the Second World War, two years later Stuart is nothing but a washed up short order cook estranged from his war-bride wife. Walter, an old army buddy he hasn't seen since the war offers him a job with the newly organized Central Intelligence Agency doing the same things he was so successful at during the war. But Stuart turns him down until when his wife leaves him, he reconsiders. His first mission: investigate the crash of a flying saucer at Roswell, New Mexico, The Air Force claims it was nothing more than a simple weather balloon, but what are they trying to hide? Join Stuart as he uncovers the truth behind the rash of saucer sightings, their origin in the occult laboratories of Nazi Germany and their influence on the events of the Cold War. Humanity needs a hero. But will Stuart accept his destiny?

About the author

M.E. Brines spent the Cold War assembling atomic artillery shells and preparing to unleash the Apocalypse (and has a medal to prove it.) But when peace broke out, he turned his fevered, paranoid imagination to other pursuits. Designer of more than twenty sci-fi wargames and the Fantasy Nations play-by-e-mail game (all available below) he spends his spare time scribbling yet another steampunk romance occult adventure novel, which despite certain rumors absolutely DOES NOT involve time-traveling Nazi vampires! (Not this time, anyway.)
