FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/b><\/h1>\n

EQUINOX Blends Science Fiction And Amateur Radio<\/h1>\n

1 May 2019 (Tampa, Florida)<\/p>\n

A new science fiction narrative, EQUINOX, has taken amateur and shortwave radio into the cultural mainstream in its version of a limited alien invasion story line.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been quite a while since the world depended on amateur and shortwave radio as lifelines. In EQUINOX, both are critical for the success of The Resistance.\u201d \u2013 DM Barrett, EQUINOX author<\/p>\n

DM Barrett, callsign N4ECW, lives and breathes amateur radio. He is well known in the ham radio community having developed and manufactured several different specialized radio antennas through his former company, Transworld Antennas. \u00a0He holds two earned doctorates with majors in law, economics, and religion.<\/p>\n

The EQUINOX story line begins on a warm, slightly breezy day on Florida\u2019s east coast as the vernal equinox marked the beginning of spring. \u00a0Suddenly, there was a thunderous crash, a blinding light, and a vortex swirling in the blue Atlantic. The invading alien army arrived. The world surrendered. The Resistance made a stand.<\/p>\n

When the science fiction novel was recently released as a Kindle Unlimited eBook, it moved steadily into Amazon\u2019s top ten science fiction eBooks in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and Australia. \u00a0After only a few days, the paperback version of EQUINOX was ranked in Amazon\u2019s top third for science fiction paperbacks.<\/p>\n

EQUINOX and other books by DM Barrett can be ordered online through Kindle, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.<\/p>\n
