Alien Reformation is the first novel in The Hydro-Carbon Stratagem trilogy which questions the origins of humankind, our ultimate fate and influence on the entire cosmos. This novel considers the scenario that superior Alien beings from a self-inflicted exodus have interfered with the human race during the vestiges of the Ice Age. Fleeing from a holocaust instigated by one of their own and carried out by their once placid machines, these extraterrestrials use the brutal nature of our ancestors as the catalyst for their defense and ultimately for their salvation. In the year 2954 A.D., one of their hybrids travels across the globe with a selection of comrades to assemble seven pieces of a dissimilated being contained within the segments of an Alien craft. If successful, it will set him on the path to world domination and eventual confrontation with his Creator's nemesis. During these global travels for this Alien artefact, this unlikely hero from a totalitarian state whose despotic ruler has similar designs to his own will encounter a host of bizarre Nations and adversaries whom he must overcome for the first stage of the Alien plan to succeed. Book Two is called Hybrid Ascendancy and Book Three, Alien Vindication. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michael O'Dwyer, the author of this science-fiction novel, lives in Limerick City in Ireland.
