Author Whitley Strieber’s new novel, Alien Hunters will be brought to the small screen by Walking Dead executive producer Gale Ann Hurd, who is developing the series for the SyFy channel.
Streiber
himself believes that he was abducted by aliens, has this to say about the
book:
“One
of the things I have always wondered is, if aliens have criminals, do they also
have cops? Judging from some of the stories people tell about close encounters,
some aliens are darned near criminals, if not outright gangsters. I have to
admit, I’ve always dreamed of a little score-settling when it comes to the way
some folks seem to be getting beat up. But not all. A lot of the close
encounter experience is fun and interesting. The dark side though – it’s there all
right.
In
"Alien Hunter," which is the first in what will be a series, I have
created a character, Flynn Carroll, a cop who ends up working with alien cops
to clean up alien criminals on Earth. Flynn has a powerful motive: they took
his wife and never returned her.
He’s
a man obsessed. He wants revenge, and he wants his beloved Abby back. When he’s
recruited by the most secret police unit in the world–the Alien Hunters – he
finds his true vocation and becomes the single most dangerous force any alien
criminal could encounter on Earth. Bad news for them, good news for us.
Dangerous news for Flynn.
Nothing
will stop him, though. He will get this job done.
I
guess he’s part of me, Flynn. I’ve been obsessing on aliens myself ever since I
got abducted in 1985. I think about them all the time. I think I know a little
bit about them. Or maybe more than a little bit.
If I
had the chance, I’d take Flynn Carroll’s job in a heartbeat. I wish him well.”
