Christopher Douglas | 6 comments Hi i am Christopher Douglas, a new an aspiring author. I have recently finished the first book 'The Alternates', which looks to be part of a trilogy at the moment (with a view to expand the series if it takes off). I am also working on two other types of novel (which are in their early stages, so watch this space for more details in the future).
The Alternates by Christopher Douglas
Here is the synopsis for the first book.
Two physicists, Kerry and Leon, are working in the underground laboratory of the ALICE complex of CERN in Switzerland when part of a routine experiment goes horribly wrong. Unbeknown to them, the experiment has inadvertently opened up a black hole that has not only affected our Earth, but every conceivable alternative reality. It is not until they go up to ‘ground level’ that they see the full extent of the devastation that has occurred.
Minstor, Nyre, and thousands of others from alternate realities find themselves stranded in our world. Several of these Alternates form an alliance to help the scientists combat the problems caused by the disaster and to try and find a way home.
With the arrival of the UN peacekeepers under Major Horst, the small group of scientists and Alternates are torn between keeping the true nature of the disaster from the outside world, as well as the UN peacekeepers.
Meanwhile a ghostly rogue Alternate with significant mental abilities plans to escape through the Alps to create the life that he wants without realising the devastation it will cause.
With the help of a UN ambassador, the small group of seemingly normal Alternates and Scientists evade the watchful eye of Major Horst, the media, and the rest of the civilisation. Not knowing of where to turn, or who to trust, they try and keep our world from finding out what really happened whilst pursuing and ultimately stopping the rogue Alternate from hurting himself, and the destruction of Earth as we know it.
Both a team of soldiers under the command of Major Horst and the Alternates find themselves in Turin for a final and dramatic showdown.

Christopher Douglas | 6 comments Although this is slightly off topic but if people want to know the real me then this might give you an insight into just how mad i am, in the UK we are a few months behind the TV show the big bang theory, well I nearly died the other night when i caught up on "the Relationship Diremption" episode. Sheldon Cooper was talking about my book 'The Alternates'!!!! he was wishing that CERN had found a way to create a black hole, alternates realities and even super symmetry. well his wish has been fulfilled ... i only wish he knew!
if your a fan of Sheldon then you might like this!! although Leon is NOT based on him, Sheldon could be Leon.

Ashley Simmons (ashles3000) | 7 comments Hi Christopher - sounds intriguing. Will certianly read the start and see how it goes. I love anything to do with alternate realities (almost as much as anything post-apocalyptic).
