Text to Text: The Prometheus Project

  I am reading the book The Prometheus Project By Dougals E. Richards is a classic Science Fiction story with secret government facilities, alien communities, aliens, and dangers every turn. Two kids, Ryan and Reagan, children of two brilliant scientists move from their dear home back in San Francisco to so-called boring Pennsylvania. Their new home in Pennsylvania is in the middle of nowhere, but why? As suspicions grow toward their move, it alters them to listening to their parent's plans about their jobs. They soon find themselves following their parents into an unknown remote area. With high security, why did they even think they could do it? Using their common knowledge and information they heard from their parents, they ultimately get past the deadly factors to get in. Once they got in, tragedy strikes. A large generator crashes down onto their mother. Alien bugs swarm, surrounding everyone but Reagan and Ryan. They are the only hope to save their parents, and the scientists. Navigating through the alien city, and possible time travel, will they make it in time to save them? Or will they want a do-over?
  Most of the plot line reminds me of the book The Clay Lion. In The Clay Lion, a family member of the main character also is struck with related to deadly. The main character(s) race against time to save them in time, through many troubles. Both stories include time travel to prevent something from happening to save a loved one. The characters also have similar traits, all having courage to break rules to help others, and all are determined and persistent.
  I noticed that while Ryan and Reagan were looking through the city, it was almost as it itself the city was alive. Things would change as they turned around, like the entrance doorway was there one second and the next it had shifted to another wall. Plus, the city is contained in a gym-sized golf ball looking dome, and when they enter it appeared to be larger than and actual city! Alien technology.

  1. Interesting sci-fi, but what if the aliens had a ability to take form of any object to camouflage? Cool book. :3
