Luncheon For The Stars

by Robert Peterson

Overview

A meteor blasts into the hillside tropical jungle on Mount Bartle Frere’s south peak, North Queensland. The crash is actually one of three space ships from Star 43 Bruno escorting 9971000prisoners and other life forms capable of sustaining an existence in a new world colony. Another ship hurtles further up the mountain face. The third smashes out on an adjacent Great Barrier Reef outcrop.
The prisoners are remnants of the wickedest psychopaths incarcerated for life and rated impossible to keep behind bars on their native planet. They subdue the pilot crew and pile-up here on inhabited Earth. The surrounding farming community interacts over time with these aliens and suffer huge losses. The aliens turn invisible on demand, carry high-tech armaments and begin depositing next generation’s eggs.
The itinerant tourism industry makes a mortality count near impossible as local residents begin hightailing to southern comfort. Homeland security endure losses as they confront an unknown source. Farming neighbours Aaron and Ethel Kraft, Tom Avery and Andrew Jacks encounter the aliens, scarcely elude death and combine forces to break the intrusion.

About the Author

The Author grew up in North Queensland in the wettest town in Australia, as oldest of three boys after his elder sister suspiciously drowned in the Babinda Creek. He achieved an Associate Degree in Agriculture at Gatton Campus of Queensland University. Began serious writing on retirement after joining a local writing club and Writing.com. Accomplished writing awards at school and local shows, wrote agricultural extension and research articles, monthly farm memos and local newspapers over 20 years and collection of sensitive security metadata on a diamond mine. Humour arose as positive energy-challenging dimples of 30plus surgical operations over his life. The Author’s written work is Australian fiction reworked from numerous assumed bush homicides garnered while imbibing over a bar, around a campfire or out fishing on the Great Barrier Reef. The Author’s non-fiction life’s work competes as a Guinness Records tag for life’s stuff-ups, such as riding on a large crocodile, bitten by snakes, a giant eel, a stonefish, tiger sharks, gored and kicked by horses and cattle. The Author presently lives in Mandurah, Western Australia with his wife Glenys.
