About The Alamogordo Connection: Hard science fiction laced with political satire by Don Johnston
In 2045, radio waves surge from the M13 nebula, and President Rex Horn believes they are distress signals. Amid impeachment threats, he funds a project to decipher them.
Darien Segura, abandoned as a baby in the jungles of Panama, and his coworker, Carly Hansen, detect a message hidden in the radio waves. Carly believes ESP is the key to decoding the message. While testing for the elusive phenomenon, they locate traces of it in twins, including monkeys, dogs, and people, all born in Alamogordo. Carly calls this oddity The Alamogordo Connection.
During the study, they find that Darien possesses ESP, but not enough to decode the message without linking to someone else who also has it. Convinced he has a twin living in the jungles of Panama, they go there to search for him. Upon trekking to an isolated village, they discover the witch doctor who delivered Darien. Just before she dies, the old woman reveals a startling fact.
Will it be enough to decipher ET’s message?
