Ancient Alien Theorists believe humans are descended from aliens that visited Earth centuries ago. They intervened to create an intelligent, adaptable and innovate race - people! What if it were true?
Richard Davidson, at seventeen, is leaving the family home. Orphaned at an early age he was raised by his loving aunt and uncle on a farm in central Victoria, Australia. His cousin, Bill, made his life miserable, especially since his uncle's recent death. Now on a deserted stretch of a country road, carrying all his worldly goods in his backpack, he strikes north to a new life. On the crest of a hill, he is taken away in a spaceship to the other end of the universe. There he finds friendship and love with his alien partner, Davrew.
Returning to Earth presents new challenges. Richard and Davrew endure bigotry and prejudice as they start a family, but the local farming community do not know they are part of a new branch of the genetically advanced interbred race. How could the community cope aware of the truth?
Rakal, an interplanetary space pirate, crash lands on Earth near Davidson's home, threatening the family's anonymity. He causes turmoil and impacts on Davidson's assimilated existence. Now the world is introduced to the Dual family for what it is. Will the world accept them? Will human and dual kind be able to unite to face another threat from space?
Industry Reviews
Having read 'Dual Visions' and 'Vashla's World' I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone interested in an in-depth sci-fi tale, interesting characters and a story that sets your imagination racing ... Barry Lunnie reader 2019
I very much enjoyed "Dual Visions". It's the story of Richard Davidson, an ordinary man who is abducted by aliens, a beautiful humanoid race who can change gender at will. He falls in love with one of his captors, Davrew, and together they return to Earth and raise a family together. They will face prejudice, distrust, and many other challenges along the way, including a visit by another alien who is not as peaceable as they are. Ultimately the story is one of love, hope and family. I thoroughly recommend "Dual Visions" to readers of SF. ...Kate Russell on Goodreads author
'Dual Visions' is good old homespun storytelling with a bunch of science fiction intrigue, alien gender-bending, and hybrid family mayhem that is simultaneously ecstatic and darkly profound - Ion Newcombe, editor AntipodeanSF
'Dual Visions' is a surprising sci-fi. It is a wonderful heartfelt drama with a tapestry of many individuals who enrich the main characters lives. Together they weave a positive family network, not without heartache along the way and definitely interesting. I look forward to the sequel to this story as there is so much more to tell. - Marion Martineer, author Co-ordinator of The Ten Penners
