His imaginative science fiction stories are compelling reading and raise many questions in the minds of its readers. What if an alien race millions of years more advanced than ours emerged through a portal from another universe? What if we discovered that there were ways to increase our IQ's a thousand fold or more? What if time slowed down until it came to a complete stop? These are the kinds of outrageous questions posed by the stories of Rod Hamon. We are certain you will enjoy this mind-bending journey.
