	*The Watchers*


	The imminent fulfilment of ‘End Days’ prophesies, an inbound comet, a troubling dream, and a girlfriend from the past, conspire to cause chaos in Fraser Davies’ life, but he is unwittingly a small part of a bigger plan – someone is watching, and waiting, and planning…

They have been watching and gathering for 2500 years. They are here in fulfilment of prophecy, but not one of earthbound religion. A ‘New Genesis’ looms. Fraser Davies doesn’t know it, but he is inextricably linked to these ‘Watchers’.

The year is 2006. A new comet is discovered, inbound, on a near earth trajectory. SETI, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, finally finds proof of alien intelligence, but the signals end abruptly.

Meanwhile, in Scotland, Fraser has a dream. It disturbs him deeply, triggering memories of Natasha, a friend from university, and threatening both his marriage and employment.

After publication of a sci-fi story inspired by the dream, Natasha contacts Fraser, insisting that his story is recovered memory not fiction. They are soon fleeing from clandestine agencies, embroiled in political and extraterrestrial intrigue.

The comet approaches. Biblical prophesies tumble as the planet is increasingly rocked by disaster.

Then things get interesting…

Review by Stewart Henderson, Poet, BBC TV/Radio Programme Maker/Presenter -

THE WATCHERS

“An engrossing page turner which presents a bizarre yet believable kaleidoscope incorporating The Apocalypse, conspiracy theory, the blue touch paper of the Middle East, Biblical prophecy, a sci-fi 'other' race, recovered memory, lost love, a Central Scotland car chase, some underpants and a hair dryer.

A 'visual' novel that shows the writer knows his field well. Part Ray Bradbury, part Buchan's 39 Steps with television's The X-Files, The Invaders and Spooks in there too, an impressive debut which manages to bring both comfort and necessary unease to the reader.“
