Publisher's Summary

The Encore is an otherworldly tale of catastrophe, crisis, courage, calling, creation, community, and camaraderie. It is an eco-thriller forewarning of an all-to-possible threat to planet Earth. Yet it is as inspiring and heartwarming as it is alarming and unnerving.

A torrent of twists and turns will rivet readers until startling reveals end the ride. This shocker is so gripping, so profound, and so riddled with truth and meaning that no reader can remain unchanged. Nor can the world.

Plot within a contextual theme:

On the surface, The Encore is a gripping pause-resister about extraterrestrials facing extinction who kidnap a renowned creator of worldbuilders from future Earth to cultivate a legion of lovable heroes to save their planet.  

However, The Encore: A Transformational Thriller plumbs greater depths for those who seek substance beyond the suspense:

  • It is an instructive listen for all aspiring worldbuilders
  • An unprecedented prescription for personal and planetary progress governs the action
  • A new vision for humanity is unveiled
  • Unparalleled path to unforeseen levels of human potential is demonstrated. The ordinary can indeed achieve the extraordinary

The profound essence of The Encore is its model of a future world in which global human resources have been maximized in the service of mankind. Crisis permanently shifts global power to those with the talent to resolve it while demoting those whose power derives from wealth, or birth to the right family, or education, race, gender, sexuality, religion, and such.
