Messiah

By John Andrew C. Chilver

The first day of the New Millennium brings with it a visitor from another world. Is he a false prophet or Lord of the New Church? 'Messiah' is the story of the second coming. Not of Christ, but of of his kind – visitors who had been to earth before, and recognized the potential – both good and bad – of its inhabitants.

Written and set in 1999, just prior to the Millennium, Messiah is a thought provoking contemplation of belief and its origins – and the lengths to which the faithful will go to protect their religion.

Unpublished until now, the novella is the first multi-thousand word manuscript written by the author, with themes that are referenced and developed in his latest release 'Charlie'.

How was 'Charlie' born? First, I had to be created, which happened in 1962, and led to my introduction to the world in 1963. In the mid 1990s I filed a patent application for the innovation of artificial muscle – a requisite for efficient, autonomous, robotic function. In the late 1990s I completed a university course in Artificial Intelligence. In 1999 I wrote the novella 'Messiah' about the second coming at the dawn of the millennia – of the aliens who created humankind. Which brings us to 'Charlie', who has been almost nine years in gestation, and is looking forward to meeting you.
