I started writing this Alien Fan Fiction (I am a huge Alien fan) back in the early 1990s. I have been updating it. The premise of the story is what if Aliens, Colonial Marines, and the 19th century were to meet?
RECAP: Lt. Stall begins to remember the vortex sucking the Cornerstone out of the depths of the ocean; he figures that the vortex may have done something. Possibly a shift in the time stream? What do I know about the time stream anyhow?

Knowing that what he is about to say may sound ludicrous, Lt. Stalls asks, “What year is this, Cap—“ he pauses to think, “I never got your name, Sir.”
“Phillip Abraham.”
“Captain Abraham, what year is this?”
“What ever do you mean? The second day of February 1851, of course. What did you think it was?”
“March 13, 2068. I believe we’ve traveled back in time. Somehow, someway.
“At what time did you and your people first encounter the aliens—I am sorry – the sea serpents?” Stall asks.
“Four months ago.” Captain Abraham replies. “Why?”
“That’s the reason why there are so many of those things. The serpents must have multiplied during their first months here.”
The Captain raises his eyebrows and says, “Don’t all animals.”
“Sir,” Stall motions for the Sergeant to come to him, “We are from the Earth’s future.
“Let me explain how. Are vessel was caught in an electrical storm, and then siphoned into the air by an electrical spout.
“The next thing we know, our warship is spat out here. In your time.”
“Is this witchery of some sort?” Captain Abraham asks. His hands begin to grip the handle of his rifle a little harder, raising it at Stall.
“Why would witches save your crew from sea serpents? No Sir, We are definitely not witches. I don’t believe that witches of whom you speak of truly exist, anyhow. What I do believe in are those serpents.”
“On our Earth the sea serpents that you speak of are, in reality, space bugs that had mated with Earth whales.
“That is why they live in your oceans and are capable of existing on land as well.”

Love it. “Aliens” is in the top 10 or 20 of all time for me. I read the Alan Dean Foster books. Led me to the Spellsinger books, which I also loved. Anytime you want to send this out I will read it.

Thanks. I have the Alien book by Foster but I have not read it. I got it back in the early 80s. I do like his writing and fully enjoyed his star wars novel Splinter of the Mind’s Eye. I still have that softcover.
