About this ebook
Corvus Okada is the man who saved the world. It's been mere days since he constructed a bomb, donned an exo suit, and singlehandedly destroyed the alien spacecraft hovering over the city of Bodalis. His inbox is blowing up with interview requests. People stop him on the streets to thank him.
There's just one problem: It never happened.
There was no bomb. There was no spacecraft. There was only Corvus, the introverted gamer sitting in his lonely Phoenix hotel room the night before the International Non-Alcoholic Drinks Conference and beating Invader Assault.
Corvus doesn't know why the old man in the coffee shop believes the events of the game really happened—nor the man in the taxi, or the woman sitting beside him on the flight home to Bodalis, or even his father. He doesn't know why more new people believe it every day. But he does learn, fast, that not everyone who believes it thinks he's a hero. Some think the Invader ship came to save the world. Some think Corvus destroyed their chance for salvation.
And they mean to repay him in kind.
The Hysteria of Bodalis is the mind-bending sci-fi debut of Marcos Hernandez.
Marcos Antonio Hernandez
Marcos is an an author based out of Washington D.C. He didn't always know about his passion for writing but has always known about his passion for reading. He began by carving out time every day to develop the habit of writing until the foundations of his first novel had been built. He reads everything he can get his hands on but particularly enjoys science fiction / fantasy. When reading is not possible, he has his headphones in, listening to audiobooks. After graduating from the University of Maryland with a degree in chemical engineering and a minor in physics, Marcos has been lucky enough to have not one but two dream jobs. He began flexing his creativity muscles during his time as a food scientist at a dessert think tank, specializing in helping clients find solutions to their frozen dessert problems (read: professional ice cream maker). After leaving this career, he began a new career as a strength and conditioning coach (what he calls his "retirement"). He has been a coach for over two years and enjoys interacting with a diverse range of people. Marcos believes in training his creativity muscles through story telling. Like exercise, he believes in showing up every day to get the work done. His hope is to learn from every experience and let it shine through the stories he tells.
