Wroussara
(pronounced: roo-saw-rah) - We Who Are One
The
Wroussara Trilogy is
the newest scifi ebook by Timothy M. Thompson (co-author with Cathrine Garnell
of "Cooking Up Customers
- A Marketing Feast" and "The
Cross of Ramplet- The Mystery of Throckmorton Manor" and author
of "The
Idiocy and the Oddity").
This
science fiction novel is a scifi trilogy (it has three volumes, currently,
Volume I - Star Hopper is published) and is an epic adventure of one man's
adventure among space aliens. It has many features designed to make it a
thoroughly enjoyable read for fans of science fiction and even fantasy, providing
a page turning, 'cannot put it down' experience rich with descriptions and
situations that fire the imagination to paint a vision of life on other planets
and racing among the stars.
Neo-Classical
Style:
The
book takes a classical science fiction approach to story telling, similar
to the works of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, pioneers in scifi literature.
Classic scifi deals with human technology and UFO technology, and Wroussara
follows in this vein. But more, it focuses on the INDIVIDUAL, celebrating
ingenuity, imagination and independent thinking as the characters engage
each other in space alien environments.
Alternative
Technology:
Technology
is the backbone of all science fiction. The UFO scifi technology in Wroussara
is based on the aliens bio-engineering rather than the more common and predictable
electro-mechanical engineering. This creates dramatic tension and interest
because Paul, the hero, is a 'techie" unfamiliar with nature and her
ways, preferring his computers, tape recorders and other machines. He, and
the reader, must learn a-new his relationship with the Universe, based on
his natural inheritance as a Child of Nature, and all that reveals about
the magnificence and power of the human spirit.
Individual
and Relationship Focused:
The
most endearing science fiction stories win the hearts of readers because
of the characters and their relationships - something to which everyone can
relate. The Wroussara Trilogy focuses on independence of thought and the
relationship of scifi characters - aliens and humans - which often result
in humorous situations, intimacy, sympathy, argument, confusion, and even
romantic and physical expressions of love as they work through the complexities
of their lives together.
Believability:
Suspension
of disbelief is staple of science fiction and fantasy literature. The Wroussara
Trilogy enhances suspension of disbelief by going into detail -- sometimes
quite intimate detail -- about how Paul as human is going to survive and
manage in an alien environment. Questions about "where
are the bathrooms", "what (or who) is for dinner?" and other
natural concerns and needs on alien space ships, a UFO, or
in alien encounters are dealt with honestly and frankly through highly descriptive
passages with some ingenious and interesting solutions, making the story
and situation acceptable and understandable. Suspension of disbelief is
further enhanced by Paul's memory - which he shares with the aliens - of
real people and events which are documented in his conversations (and some
include links to actual videos or musical performances).
Psychological
Focus:
Good
drama gets into the minds and hearts of the characters and reveals them to
the reader. This makes them 'real' because readers can relate
to them and what they are feeling. The Wroussara Trilogy focuses on the psychology
of Paul and his space alien companions, exploring and searching for commonly
accepted concepts about emotions, spirituality, conscience, even mystical
and spiritual awareness - the "sixth sense" that humans all possess
but rarely use. The story celebrates the power of imagination and creativity,
cleverness and ingenuity in the characters as they use all their mental powers
as well as physical ones to deal with their scifi situations.
Humorous
and Fun:
Science
Fiction is fun, and some of the most enduring scifi stories have strong humorous
elements that give them charm and affability. While meeting
space aliens and flying about the Galaxy in a UFO is a serious scientific
business, there are plenty of times where humor enters into the situation.
In the Wroussara Trilogy, Paul, the hero, deals with his Wroussaran and Scaradin
comrades relating as a human coming from a specific cultural influence with
social mores that have little or no relevance in their alien cultures. The
many unexpected "faux pas" and misunderstandings that result are
cause for good humor and sometimes even silly situations, as might be expected
in a true alien encounter reality.
For
Mature Audiences:
The
Wroussara Trilogy - Volume I - Star Hopper is a scifi novel that deals with
classic and dramatic themes that any reader will easily recognize and enjoy.
It treats these situations frankly and honestly. It is rich in descriptive
details so the reader feels "he or she is there", as the imagination
powers up and shows a mind-movie of the adventure as it unfolds.
