When Gods Roar

In his book, When Gods Roar, author of speculative fiction, R̩al Laplaine Рpresents a very different scenario from the stereotyped one of aliens attacking humanity. One of the five top leaders of a federation of worlds flees from the regime two galaxies away, and comes to Earth with a unique proposition. He wants refuge and citizenship in the United States, and in return, he will hand over all the technology of his world, moreover, the ancient scripts which detail the fundamental truths and principles of how the Universe was created, why and everyone's role in it. The mediocrity of ignorance, intolerance, and religious ideology, and those with another agenda, reject him outright, but a handful of scientists at the JPL, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, believe and back him. What ensues is a bizarre thriller, one with deep philosophical and cultural insights, pressing humans to the very edge as humanity must make a choice between serving masters who wage war and hold the future of the race hostage with a nuclear arsenal, or permit the visitor to open up new doors and new thresholds to the entirety of the world.


"In all my 83 years I have never read any book, including the Christian and Judaic versions of the Bible, which offers so much depth in the guise of a novel. Does the philosophy, does the criticism, does the suggested manner of dealing with our current situation have flaws. I will leave that to you, the individual reader, to decide for yourself. Nothing is imposed by this story. Nothing is falsified, nothing is set forth in concrete. It offers much to anyone. It is most certainly due an award of five stars, and if there were a higher award it would merit that too. Well done Real Laplaine. I hope to see a sequel." Berk Rourke, author
