My Review of The Homecoming Novella

I had a chance to read Dr. Reizer’s latest novella, The Homecoming today, and was very impressed. It’s delicious, and I ‘m not kidding when I write that I definitely didn’t see the twist ending coming. That was pretty damn clever.

I remember many years ago when I first came across John’s Michael Morris book, and I thought to myself, this guy has one hell of imagination when it comes to science fiction. I saw the brilliance in his writing back then, and also last summer in The Target List and earlier this year in the novella, Frequency. I liked Frequency a lot, and that story has a particularly good twist at the end as well.

The Homecoming is both entertaining and highly imaginative. It’s a story that makes readers think about so many different issues that are affecting us in today’s world. That’s one of the things I especially enjoy about John’s sci-fi books; they make you think about all sorts of things. When you’re reading his stories, you are definitely entertained. They’re all quick reads, and then after you have finished them, you’re lying in bed at night thinking about the deeper issues the stories carry with them.

If you are looking for a quick read with a super-cool ending, check out, The Homecoming. It’s definitely worth the read.

Can dystopia lead to utopia? Earth finds out in the year 2036, when an asteroid strikes between Hawaii and the mainland United States, plunging the world back into the early twentieth century. The devastating impact of this natural disaster quickly reduces the superpowers of the world, leading to the restructuring of government and society into a one-world system, governed from deep beneath the ice of the South Pole. The survivors, determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past, are committed to forming a New World Government that leads to an era of peace and prosperity that has never been known on the planet. It opens the door for communication with the Tresantarians, an alien species from thousands of light-years away who have determined that humanity is ready for contact with other alien races. But the Tresantarians have their own secret; one that links them to humanity and seals the fate of both races. The Homecoming by John Reizer is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller that will leave you guessing until the last page.

The Homecoming is an interesting and unique tale that gives a different view of our future. In it, John Reizer offers an eclectic cast of characters with a variety of viewpoints on the Tresantarians, first contact with an alien race, and what the unique gifts offered by the Tresantarians mean. Like all sci-fi stories, it explores the question of what it means to be human, and how much we’re really willing to embrace and accept things that are different. As humanity strives to trust this alien race, readers will find themselves questioning how they would respond to such an event, and what their level of trust is in both the government, those different from them, other people, and humanity. An excellent read if you’re looking for a good, quick tale with a great theme and intriguing questions to ponder about humanity.

A new novella by John Reizer

The author of The Target List and Frequency

In the year 2036, Earth faces a natural disaster that alters modern society. The world is thrown into chaos and becomes devoid of the most advanced technology. The United States, China, Russia, and other superpowers are quickly reduced in strength and prominence.

The survivors are determined not to repeat the mistakes of their ancestors as they methodically rebuild society from the ground up.  A New World Government is created and runs the planet; it has outlawed the existence of sovereign countries and all acts of war.

As the global community enjoys world peace for the first time in Earth’s history, humans are suddenly contacted by an extraterrestrial race of beings called the Tresantarians. The alien species is mysteriously connected to the people of Earth and immediately offers humanity a fantastic gift. But there’s a catch, and the people of Earth are about to uncover a mind-bending secret about the extraterrestrials that will forever change the way humans view life, the Tresantarians, and most importantly themselves.

Updates on Frequency Novella and other Creative Projects in the Works

By Dr. John Reizer

I know there are very important happenings taking place throughout the world and I assure readers that I will be covering them on this website in the weeks and months to follow. I have been working on NoFakeNews for eight years. It’s absolutely amazing how fast time flies.

I wanted to offer everybody a little information about what’s going on concerning my writing projects. That’s pretty much what this post is about. I hope you don’t find the updates too boring; they’re important to me and my family.

For the past year or so, I have been writing day and night; working on several novels and giving my input to another writer working on the screenplay for The Target List which we are both hopeful will become a movie in the not too distant future.

In addition to that news, I am fortunate to have been asked to participate in an exciting new television series that will be released later in 2020. The television series, NO VIRTUE, is currently in preproduction and scheduled to begin filming in June 2020. I am currently a co-executive producer for two episodes.

No Virtue was written and will be directed by MJ Palo and others. MJ Palo is also writing the screenplay for The Target List.

My latest novella, FREQUENCY, was published and released on January 11, 2020, and is off to an amazing start. Frequency has received very positive reviews on Amazon and Goodreads and was such a fun story to write. I have always had a fascination about life existing beyond the parameters of Earth and this science fiction tale takes a long swim in those waters; exploring the possibility that alien life could be sent to our world by an extraterrestrial species through a radio frequency that has traveled 2.2 billion light-years across the universe. It’s a fun, quick read that most people seem to enjoy.

Frequency was a busy book on Amazon in February 2022.

The Frequency novella is currently in production to become an audiobook on the Audible platform in April 2020. Allen Grunerud, the narrator of The Target List audiobook will be the narrator of Frequency. I will post updates as that project progresses.

Nine years ago, I wrote a very short story (Novellete) titled, TRESANTARAS. I have been rewriting that manuscript into a more fully developed novella that will be published very soon under a brand-new title. I will let readers know more about this project once it is published.

Thanks for reading!

What can you tell us about your new release, Frequency?

My latest novella, Frequency is a science fiction story that takes place in the year 2025 in North Carolina.

The story is centered on a fictional radio telescope that records an alien message from a distant galaxy. Shortly after the discovery is announced to the public through a national press conference and uploaded on the observatory’s website, people become affected by a mysterious illness that sweeps through the United States. The disease creates brain tumors in those infected and drastically alters their personalities.

As the story progresses, two neurosurgeons investigating the epidemic come to the amazing realization that the disease is somehow connected to the alien radio message and the observatory.

I believe readers will enjoy Frequency because of how the novella blends fiction with real science. It was a lot of fun to write the book and I am hopeful science fiction fans will find it entertaining.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

I have always enjoyed writing since I was a young boy. At age twelve, I was on a baseball team that captured a world championship at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

The experience inspired me to write a book about the team and our accomplishments. It was published in my freshman year of high school and I have been in love with writing ever since.

Review of Frequency Novella

Reviewed by Trudi LoPreto for Readers’ Favorite

Black Rock Observatory receives a chilling radio transmission from what student Ronald Phillips believes is an alien message from a very distant galaxy. It is New Year’s Eve, 2024, and Ronald expected a quiet night of work as the telescope searched for extraterrestrial life. When scientists become aware of the recording, they are excited and anxious to check it out and share it with the world. A recording is uploaded and the public listens and is excited and anxious. The story quickly shifts to a scary problem of people getting sick and acting strangely. As two doctors, Kevin Dyar and James Ketterly, study and investigate this strange new sickness, they realize that it might be the result of the alien recording. It becomes obvious that the disease is somehow linked to the Observatory and the alien message. After weeks of study and the strange ailments continuing, it becomes a do or die situation to find an answer.

Frequency

Frequency is a suspenseful science fiction story that is only 150 pages but in those pages, an amazingly interesting story is told. I am not a true science fiction genre reader but sometimes a book catches my eye and sounds too good to pass up. Frequency fits this bill and I am happy to say I was not disappointed. Frequency has all of the elements needed to make this a hard to put down book. Author John Reizer knows how to put all of the pieces together to write a story that will keep you intrigued and on the edge of your seat until the very last page. Frequency is a thrilling must-read.

Frequency –

Black Rock Observatory, in Tryon, North Carolina, is a privately-owned radio telescope searching for extraterrestrial life. The facility’s giant satellite dish hits pay dirt on New Year’s Eve 2024 as a graduate student, Ronald Phillips records a strange alien message from a distant galaxy.

A press conference ensues, and the country is informed of the discovery through national television. The recording uploads quickly on Black Rock’s website, and the alien message goes viral. Public reaction is enthusiastic, and the observatory gains publicity through news and social media outlets.

After the recording’s release, many people become infected by a mystery illness. The disease causes tumors in the brains of its victims and noticeable changes in their personalities. Some of the stricken are interviewed by two neurosurgeons, Drs. Kevin Dyar and James Ketterly. Their research leads them to an unthinkable conclusion; the cause of the disease is connected to the observatory.

In a race against time, the neurosurgeons desperately search for a cure to an alien plague that has originated 2.2 billion light-years from Earth.
