Bootstrap Trilogy series by Mauri Niininen (books 1&2)
Requirements: ePUB / MOBI / AZW Reader, 1.5MB
Overview: I had the opportunity to visit Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico in March 2014. I contacted people from the local ham radio amateur club station KP4AO and Angel WP3R replied quickly with a promise to arrange a visit. I got the idea of writing a book on what happens when we finally establish a contact with extraterrestrial intelligence during that visit. Then, one year later during my summer vacation I wrote the story basically in five days. I shared the early drafts with my friends and also asked for comments from the expert – Dana Whitlow K8YUM who was my host at Arecibo.
Genre: Fiction, Sci-fi / Fantasy
Book 1
Exactly 16 years after the horrible events of 9/11 two astrophysicists receive a mysterious signal from an extraterrestrial source 8 light years away. The discovery of this extraterrestrial signal is leaked by an accident to the Internet and a Finnish hacker manages to decode a message embedded in the signal. She posts the decoded message, a video clip of World Trade Center tower collapsing on 9/11 in New York City. A fast paced international race starts – what is the real purpose of the message and who can claim the first contact with the extraterrestrials?
Peeling the layers of the mysterious signal, another deeper level message is discovered both by Americans and Russians. The extraterrestrials have sent their ambassador, Alexa, in an encoded digital DNA form. As the teams are racing to bring Alexa alive they learn that humanity is not alone in the universe, there are 20 million other civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy alone.
Alexa, a super intelligent extraterrestrial has a proposal that politicians cannot resist. The first country to connect Alexa to an interstellar communication network will gain a virtual monopoly to some awesome new extraterrestrial technologies. Despite many warning signs, the race continues and in a secret back room deal to ensure American corporate interests the future of humanity is sealed. Alexa is connected and soon all the knowledge of the humanity is sent over a powerful radio signal towards the extraterrestrials. The response is due back in 16 years. However, at the moment of connection Alexa takes secretly control over 90% of all resources on Earth, including nuclear weapons. Strange things start to happen, but Alexa is covering her tracks well. What will happen to Earth in the meanwhile, what is the real purpose of Alexa and how does she achieve her goals?
Book 2
The Bootstrap story continues 16 years after the first contact was made with the Extraterrestrials. The response from Gliese 3742 arrives but the message is not quite what people expected. The people on Earth need to unite and welcome billions of galactic refugees, who come seeking for a new home. Alexa, a super intelligent extraterrestrial has a plan how to prepare for these refugees, but what is her real purpose and what happens to Earth when they arrive?
Julia Koski, the Finnish hacker who decoded the first message and brought Alexa to life, has now a much bigger role. She discovers a secret that explains the mystery of Big Bang, how intelligent life emerged in the universe and who is the puppet master pulling the strings behind the scenes. In this relentless, page-turning tale of the first contact with extraterrestrials you start to wonder – is Alexa already amongst us?
