    Accuracy of Book Profile

    Yes, the book profile represents the book accurately. It summarizes the book and its characters succinctly.

    Draw of Story

    The fact that human race is in the brink of extinction in the future is always fascinating. Because as humans, we are always drawn towards tragedy, and this book gives a taste of how we are the ones who create our own problems.

    Possible Drawbacks

    The book was a bit dense. It was a little difficult trying to visualize the details of every little thing in the head. I had to reread a lot description to make sure I understood it correctly. Also, there were quite a bit of punctuation errors and typos that should be revised.

    Use of Special Effects

    THE STORY RELIES HEAVILY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS

    Primary Hook of Story

    A solid cast. The story in itself is not too strong, but a well renowned actor may pull the story along to have a franchise.

    Fanbase Potential

    Due to the story being very mixed between YA and adult sci-fi, there could be a YA fanbase and anyone who is into comics and aliens would be fans of the movie. However, I don't see too big of a fanbase.

    Awards Potential

    With the budget being allocated properly, there could be potential for VFX awards.

    Envisioned Budget

    LARGE BUDGET

    What’s New About the Story

    The originality lied in the beginning of the book with the story of how the earth has been at war within itself and how humans have violated every alien spaceship has entered the earth's surface. Especially Americans. Thirsty for unlimited power, the United States took advantage of every political system and made sure they were the one true powerful nation on top. And THAT was original because no one has dared to make the USA evil yet.

    Lead Characters

    Doctor Peru's stuttering is the only thing that stands out. Everybody else had characteristics obvious to the plot and their purpose to move the plot along.

    Uniqueness of Story

    It has potential to be a rare gem. If the pace was improved and more detailed, definite potential.

    Possible Formats

    Film - Streaming

    Synopsis

    The year is 2715, and the Military of the united states is the powerhouse of the country now. Abducting and torturing aliens has become the livelihood of the citizens. America has become the disdained cousin of the entire world. There are underground hunters who capture aliens and sell them to Military personnel, who then skin them and sell the aliens’ meat and skin for commercial purpose. The skins are made into luxury products and clothes. In this time, an Alaskan military research base, Sadana, experiences a big UFO crash that shakes the earth. General Ascot and Lieutenant Swamis, the two survivors of a very deadly alien crash that began a war between the alien species and the military.

    In order to understand the alien species better, General Ascot hires Doctor Peru, a smart, young, and ambitious scientist on board. While Peru has absolutely no idea what any of the mission is, he becomes acquainted with his predecessor, Dr. Miao’s work and research in the secret lab of Sadana, 999. General Ascot showcases all parts of the lab where experiments and research were performed to Doctor Peru. Behind a closed curtain inside the lab, doctor Peru comes face to face with an ice wall. However, beyond that ice wall lay a tropical paradise, with an angry alien Raratonga in captive to be experimented with. The mission was to understand the alien armor and how to imitate, so that the United States can protect themselves from any attacks from Red China. The experiment is to extract the serum from the alien and study it, and this must be done while putting the aliens in a slumber while the doctor and the general extract the serums.

    Doctor Peru, after getting acclimated with the process of studying the Raratonga, he soon realizes that the alien species are much smarter than humans believe it to be. Doctor Peru and the alien make a connection. Peru can now hear the Raratonga’s voice reverberating in his own head. They can now communicate with one another. After engaging with the Raratonga, he soon realizes that General Ascot’s fascination and obsession with the duplication of the alien has a different ulterior motive.

    The Raratonga and doctor Peru become civilized with one another. While Peru continued working on experiments with the alien, he discovered the blood types of different phases of the Raratonga. Although the male species communicated with Peru, the female creature was vicious towards him. The Raratonga communicate to the doctor saying that their attack was a defensive method to save their own kind. Raratonga lived underground. Alien warfare’s have been going on for a long time. Earth was a dumping ground for alien species for disease and war. Peru was given the vision of what the Raratonga had gone through. Peru held the Raratonga child who had been struck by a disease spreading the child’s body. Moved by it, Peru decided to help the Raratonga instead of hurt them anymore. General Ascot comes in. The Raratonga senses General Ascot’s presence and the Doctor sees that as well. Doctor becomes agitated that Ascot has interrupted a deep connection between the alien and himself. After visiting the lab, General Ascot visits the site where the UFO crashed. A soldier informs they have hired an underground hunter named Shanki to learn more about the UFO crash site. Learning this, General Ascot gets furious because he does not want anyone other than the people present at Sadana to know anything about what is happening on site. It was a private mission. So, Ascot orders the military men to assassinate Shanki.

    General Ascot wants to end humanity with the Raratonga. Doctor Peru wanted none of that. Ascot stole Peru’s theory of synthetic revolution of humans, and worked it into making a combination of half-human and half-Raratonga species to become superior beings. Ascot was generating/producing these creatures to take place for humans when fighting any war. Peru was rather disgusted by Ascot’s egotistical passion towards experimenting with crossbreeding DNA’s of humans and the Raratonga. Not only was Ascot developing crossbreed DNA’s but he also took the DNA samples from Peru’s blood to make the crossbreed happen. Exhaustion encompasses Peru and he collapses before he can even exit the lab and reach the elevator. Waking up in the hospital, Peru soon realizes that he is trapped for life by General Ascot’s shackles.

    Shanki was an underground hunter who was known for his killing skills. After his parents’ death when he was eighteen, he was given a mission to slaughter the alien species found by a bidder. However, right before killing a mother alien bearing her child, he heard the alien telepathically communicate with him in Japanese. Stunned, he stopped in his tracks. Shanki was half Japanese and half American, and what he heard was his mother’s voice telling to save the child. Shanki cut the mother open and escaped with the child. Throughout the years, Shanki and his trusted loyal friend BB, another underground hunter, lived in caverns to as to hide from everyone with the child. They named the alien kid Cutee. Shanki and BB raise Cutee like its their own child. One day, the military personnel sent to kill Shanki arrive, and while one strangled Shanki. Shanki almost gets assassinated. Cutee saves his life by killing the assassins. BB suspects that someone higher in power is threatened by his presence. Shanki and his friend on the base suspect that General Ascot is up to something and it's not good.

    Shanki and BB make a course to meet up with Shanki’s friend, only the friend has now been murdered while holding on to his phone trying to connect to Shanki. David becomes a mini Raratonga alien, and the male Raratonga inside the ice wall tropical paradise shatters everything to be revealed as King Raratonga. The female Raratonga was the queen, and she reveals she was raped by human experiments. She wants to be executed rather than face her husband, the king. The King Raratonga kills General Ascot. Many of the military personnel were actually Raratonga in disguise to save the species from the blasphemous crossbreeding General Ascot was working on. The decoy was set up by the King Raratonga for when the time in right, they can shed off their human flesh and attack the base where experiments took place. Three Raratonga species, the females who could heal, males who were strictly warriors, and moles who were decoys and disguise themselves as almost anything they wished. The king Raratonga unleashed Hell on earth in the name of The Lion, which was an internet worm that hypnotized every pair of eyes that looked at a screen. It is now year 2725, no more presidents. Ten fathers and ten mothers guided the new era of leadership. Peru has two kids, Fyglia and Barguest. They are the crossbreed DNA kids from the queen Raratonga and his blood samples stolen by Ascot. Their minds has been brainwashed to believe that they lived in Hawaii till their mother died of the flu, and so the family moved to Colorado to start a new beginning with their father, Doctor Peru. Military was no longer the front runner of control. A point system replaced currency. Shanki and BB are still hunting Raratonga aliens, so they hunt Peru’s house because Maddy, the children’s nanny is a Raratonga alien sent by the King to look after the kids. Doctor Peru and the kids escape just in time Maddy gets killed.

    The year 2735 in Europe, Doctor Peru has changed his name to Doctor Rousseau and moved with his children for their safety. The kids are now in college, while Doctor Rousseau is a professor, who also is a history nut. Fyglia confesses that she has fallen in love with an American named Paul, and she wishes for her father to meet him. Even though Rousseau is reluctant, he cannot deny his daughter her happiness, so he accepts to have dinner with them. While getting ready, Rousseau hallucinates and sees the King Raratonga coming to greet him, and while having dinner, he also starts stuttering about Sadana. Barguest makes sure to come in a full Elvis costume to not only make his father laugh but also to embarrass his sister. After a somewhat successful dinner, Paul invites them to a luxury underground lounge inside the restaurant for cigars and wine. Both Rousseau and Barguest feel very averse to Paul due to his narcissism and extreme entitlement. While everyone is enjoying their evening, Paul decides that this is the moment to ask Doctor Rousseau for Fyglia’s hand in marriage. Once again, Rousseau reluctantly gives Paul permission because at the end of the day, it was Fyglia’s happiness he cared about. However, Barguest showed extreme signs of disapproval, including his hand turning very muscular, similar to Raratonga and also his appetite of raw meat. Concerned about these turn of events, Rousseau goes back to his basement and work on his novel for both of his children so that one day they are aware of the whole truth.

    On July 7th , Barguest was attending his last year of college, Doctor Rousseau was also on his way to the college library to finish his research, and Fyglia was at the doctor’s office to get her pregnancy results back.Suddenly a ginormous earthquake kills Doctor Rousseau. The tremors and aftershocks last for a whole week. And then a massive crushing violent earthquake wipes out Italy, Greece, and Portugal off the map. Coming to peace with the fact that their father has died, Fyglia and Barguest go on with their lives. In the years to come, the children get older, have kids. Well, Fyglia has twin boys. And then her twin boys have numerous children, and failed marriages as well. It was basically the royal family but in the future and between normal alien people. Fyglia and Barguest are about 60+ now, and Fyglia starts experiencing flu like symptoms. Concerned, Barguest decides to tell his sister over the phone that she does not have the flu and he is going to tell her the truth by visiting her the next day.

    Incidentally, everyone is Raratonga in the future because of the meat consumed and skin adorned during the alien slaughters in 2715. The unknown virus has now been detected as cells passed down from the alien consumption which is deadly to humans. Therefore, the virus has been passed down from generation to generation with no hope of survival. The human race will soon be extinct. Christian, Fyglia’s grandson reveals the truth on television when he becomes an adult. He himself is in the middle of his transformation so he is attempting to save as much of humankind as possible, but also with the warning of what King Raratonga once said; The Raratonga will do whatever necessary to protect their kind from attacks and destruction, they are not murderers, so leave the ones who wish to transform alone and save the one humans who wish to still be humans.
