Sci-fi novelist Daniel P. Douglas announced that his debut science fiction conspiracy thriller, "Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project" has won an Honorable Mention in the science fiction category of Foreword Reviews' 2014 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards.

The awards, which were judged by a select group of librarians and booksellers from around the country, were announced on June 26, 2015 at the American Library Association Annual Conference in San Francisco, C.A. Representing hundreds of independent and university presses of all sizes, INDIEFAB winners were selected after months of editorial deliberation with more than 1,500 entries in 63 categories. The winners represent the best work coming from today's indie authors and publishers.

In "Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project," readers plunge into a sci-fi conspiracy storyline featuring former FBI agent William Harrison, a reluctant but admirable hero who finds himself hot on the trail of a major extraterrestrial cover-up. "Truth Insurrected" has also garnered Douglas accolades from BestThrillers.com, which named him as one of 2015's Best New Mystery and Thriller Genre Writers.

"I am thrilled to be honored with an INDIEFAB award, especially for my debut novel," said Douglas. "The book is centered on UFO disclosure so I am happy that it is getting this extra attention and recognition. It is a subject that I care a lot about."

Douglas also recently announced the release of his new science fiction book, "The Outworlds: War Torrent," a science fiction adventure that is the first in a series. In "War Torrent," ancient reptilian aliens clash in a war that is the start of a new interstellar crusade orchestrated by evil ethereal entities whose intent is radical genetic purification of the galaxy, and Earth's Stone Age humans are their next target.

The new science fiction book draws on the mystery of ancient aliens, in particular, reptilian humanoids, and related conspiracy theories about their alleged, past involvement with humans and possible engineering of our genes.

Acclaimed Author Daniel P. Douglas Releases New Science Fiction Adventure Novel, 'The Outworlds: War Torrent'

Daniel P. Douglas is a multi-genre author who turns ordinary people into extraordinary heroes. The new novella, ‘The Outworlds: War Torrent,’ mixes military and metaphysical science fiction with alien conspiracies in an epic tale with unlikely heroes

Author Daniel P. Douglas announced the release of ‘The Outworlds: War Torrent,’ a new science fiction adventure novel that is the first in a series. In ‘War Torrent,’ ancient reptilian aliens clash in a war that is the start of a new interstellar crusade orchestrated by evil ethereal entities whose intent is radical genetic purification of the galaxy, and Earth’s Stone Age humans are their next target.

Published by Geminid Press, LLC, ‘War Torrent’ is a novella, and the first book in ‘The Outworlds,’ a series of science fiction adventures set in the early twenty-fourth century at the fringe of human civilization. “Although ‘War Torrent’ steps outside that timeline,” Daniel P. Douglas said, “You can bet that its prequel events, characters, and technology will have a major influence on the continuing storyline in ‘The Outworlds.’”

Douglas went on to say, “The book draws on the mystery of ancient aliens, in particular, reptilian humanoids, and related speculations about their alleged, past involvement with humans and possible engineering of our genes. It’s also a military science fiction story with metaphysical and spiritual components. At times an outer space aliens conspiracy thriller, the bottom line is that ‘War Torrent’ is a good versus evil story with unlikely heroes on a collision course with destiny.”

Named a Foreword Reviews 2014 IndieFab Book-of-the-Year Awards Science Fiction Finalist, Douglas is also listed by BestThrillers.com as one of 2015’s Best New Mystery and Thriller Genre Writers. Douglas garnered these accolades in conjunction with his debut novel, ‘Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project.’ In it, readers plunge into a storyline featuring former FBI agent William Harrison, who finds himself hot on the trail of a major extraterrestrial cover-up.

Douglas is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at don@freepublicitygroup.com. ‘The Outworlds: War Torrent’ is available at Amazon.com. An interview with Douglas is currently running at The Authors Show site regarding his debut science fiction conspiracy thriller, ‘Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project.’ More information is available at Douglas’ website at http://DanielPDouglas.com.

Best Thrillers Book Club Names Sci-Fi Thriller Novelist Daniel P. Douglas To 2015 List Of Best New Mystery and Thriller Authors

Daniel P. Douglas and his debut science fiction conspiracy thriller were included on the distinguished list of new mystery and thriller genre authors on April 30, 2015

On April 30 2015, Best Thrillers Book Club announced its list of “Best New Mystery and Thriller Authors" of 2015. It included Daniel P. Douglas and his debut science fiction conspiracy thriller, ‘Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project.’ In the suspenseful sci-fi novel, readers plunge into a storyline featuring former FBI agent William Harrison – a reluctant yet admirable hero – who finds himself hot on the trail of a major extraterrestrial cover-up.

Best Thrillers Book Club describes ‘Truth Insurrected’ as an engrossing, deftly-crafted UFO conspiracy thriller that is easily one of the most successful tales to emerge out of Roswell alien lore. The club helps fans of mysteries and thriller eBooks discover amazing writers and the eBooks they publish.

The club’s review says the science fiction book is, “Well-plotted and gorgeously written, [and] Douglas’s secret sauce is injecting noir-like atmosphere, characterization and pacing into what could be, in less capable hands, just another UFO conspiracy story. The best passages in ‘Truth Insurrected’ are seen through Harrison’s eyes, beginning with a bungled surveillance operation that at once renders him both highly observant and vulnerable. And just when you think Harrison has cracked most of the book’s big secrets, Douglas delivers another thrilling surprise.”

“Best Thrillers named some amazing authors and novels in the mystery and thriller genre, so it’s an honor to be on such a distinguished list,” Daniel P. Douglas said. “The recognition conveys an indicator of quality that brings tremendous personal and professional satisfaction. It sets the bar pretty high, and I’ll work hard to achieve that level of quality in my upcoming science fiction books and conspiracy thriller novels.”

Douglas’s debut science fiction novel has received critical acclaim from readers and reviewers alike. In addition, Foreword Reviews recently recognized ‘Truth Insurrected’ as a science fiction finalist in its 17th annual INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards.

Debut Sci Fi Novel,' Truth Insurrected' By Author Daniel P. Douglas, Named Foreword Reviews’ 2014 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards Finalist

Daniel P. Douglas is a multi-genre author who turns ordinary people into extraordinary heroes. 'Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project', is a suspenseful science fiction conspiracy thriller featuring former FBI agent William Harrison

Science fiction author Daniel P. Douglas announced his debut science fiction novel, 'Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project', has been recognized as a finalist in the 17th annual Foreword Reviews’ INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards. Each year, Foreword Reviews shines a light on a select group of indie publishers, university presses, and self-published authors whose work stands out from the crowd. In the next three months, a panel of more than 100 volunteer librarians and booksellers will determine the winners in 63 categories based on their experience with readers and patrons.

“The recognition as a science fiction finalist is a great honor,” Douglas said, “As an author, I feel obligated to write high-quality, meaningful, and engaging stories, ones that also inspire a bond between the reader and my characters. Being named an awards finalist reassures me that I made good on those obligations in 'Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project'.”

Douglas is a multi-genre author who turns ordinary people into extraordinary heroes. Douglas creates the most unlikely of heroes and calls upon them to join extraordinary and mysterious struggles. His characters' sometimes-reluctant choices and actions put them on a collision course with destiny and reveal unimaginable truths. In every pulse pounding, edge-of-your-seat adventure, survival means confronting personal flaws and doubts, and forging unexpected fates as inspiring new champions in the eternal battle against evil.

In 'Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project', readers plunge into a suspenseful science fiction conspiracy thriller featuring former FBI agent William Harrison – a reluctant yet admirable hero, who finds himself hot on the trail of a major extraterrestrial cover-up.

Douglas' science fiction novel walks a razors edge between science fiction and real world facts. UFO cover-ups and the resulting UFO conspiracy theories make headlines almost every day. Even high-level government officials such as John Podesta are calling for disclosure and truth regarding UFOs after decades of government cover-ups. Recently President Obama jokingly stated on Jimmy Kimmel Live that aliens control the secrecy surrounding UFO's. Former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer has asserted that extraterrestrials reside at Nellis Air Force Base. In 2012 Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev stated that Russian Presidents are briefed on extraterrestrials living among us. The truth about aliens and UFO activity has never been revealed. All of these kinds of real world situations lend credibility to, and create awareness around the issues Douglas addresses in his latest work.

Foreword Reviews will celebrate the winners of the 2014 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards during a program at the American Library Association Annual Conference in San Francisco on Friday, June 26 at 6 p.m. at the Pop Top Stage in the exhibit hall. Everyone is welcome. The Editor’s Choice Prize for Fiction, Nonfiction, and Foreword Reviews’ 2014 INDIEFAB Publisher of the Year Award will also be announced during the presentation.

“After 17 years, our awards program has become synonymous with quality because our editors set such a high bar on the finalist round, which makes it especially tough for the judges who select the winners,” said Victoria Sutherland, publisher of Foreword Reviews. “In every genre, our judges will find an interesting, high-quality selection of books culled from this year’s entries.”

Author Daniel P. Douglas' New Sci Fi Release, 'Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project', Centered On UFO Disclosure

Douglas is a multi-genre author who turns ordinary people into extraordinary heroes. Douglas' new science fiction book blends the authenticity of a Tom Clancy novel with the mystery and suspense of 'The X Files'. The new release is centered around the subject of UFO disclosure

Sci fi author Daniel P. Douglas has announced the release of 'Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project'. The newly released science fiction book blends the authenticity of a Tom Clancy novel with the mystery and suspense of 'The X Files'. It is especially pertinent today, as even high-level government officials such as John Podesta are calling for disclosure and truth regarding UFOs after decades of government cover-ups.

Douglas is a multi-genre author who turns ordinary people into extraordinary heroes. Douglas creates the most unlikely of heroes and calls upon them to join extraordinary and mysterious struggles. His characters' sometimes-reluctant choices and actions put them on a collision course with destiny and reveal unimaginable truths. In every pulse pounding, edge-of-your-seat adventure, survival means confronting personal flaws and doubts, and forging unexpected fates as inspiring new champions in the eternal battle against evil.

According to Daniel, years of watching or reading anything and everything about UFOs led him to write 'Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project'. His core motivation, however, was anger, and finding an outlet for it.

“Like many who follow the subject,” says Daniel, “I’m routinely frustrated by the response of government to UFOs, especially in not admitting what they know, and I’m not just talking about well-known cases like Roswell. There are thousands of UFO cases to talk about, past and present.”

Daniel adds that he was not surprised when outgoing advisor to President Obama, John Podesta, recently tweeted his regret that he could not get the government to release its UFO files.

“The stonewalling is policy and has been for decades. It is frustrating and damages the public trust. And if a former Chief of Staff and Presidential advisor can’t succeed in gaining disclosure, I have to wonder where it leaves individual citizens who seek the truth. I also wonder why more people aren’t outraged and vocal about this failure of government accountability.”

In the storyline of the new science fiction thriller, when former FBI agent William Harrison begins receiving mysterious postcards with the signature "Echo Tango," he's alerted to a deadly government cover-up beyond anything he ever thought possible. His informant turns out to be a guilt-ridden ex-operative in the Saint Mary Project, an ultra-secret program engaged in alien contact. The organization is wiping out loose ends, and Echo Tango thinks Harrison is the man he needs to stop the decades-old conspiracy.

Thanks to a gunshot wound suffered in an attempt to thwart an armed robbery, the crime-fighting life is something of Harrison's past. He keeps his shooting skills sharp but walks with a limp, and he is more likely to catch marital cheaters than anything else--as a private investigator. But Harrison can't shake the feeling that this paranormal case is meant for him. He enlists the help of colleagues and starts following the mysterious clues.

“In this science fiction novel," Douglas concluded, "I tried to build it on a range of UFO lore and keep it true to that lore so followers of the subject would see their interests, knowledge, and beliefs reflected – and respected – in the book.”

Critics have praised 'Truth Insurrected'. Kirkus Reviews stated, "…its sprinkling of fantastical elements makes it a standout..." Blue Ink Review said, "...Conspiracy theorists and science fiction fans alike will find Truth Insurrected hard to put down." BestThrillers.com called it "An engrossing, deftly-crafted UFO conspiracy thriller that is easily one of the most successful tales to emerge out of Roswell alien lore." The Columbia Review of Books & Film said, "An excellent science-fiction/conspiracy thriller...Highly recommended."
