| Richard Hatch of Battlestar Galactica stars as Dr. Eric Norris, a brilliant researcher guilt-ridden over a family tragedy. But when an extraterrestrial parasite fuses with his DNA, Norris gives birth to a half-human, half-alien progeny. Can a man of both science and compassion now protect his “son” from the government, or will society demand this “monster” be destroyed? Walter Koenig, Courtney Peldon and an all-star sci-fi cast – including Marina Sirtis (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Erick Avari (Heroes), Gary Graham (Alien Nation), Patricia Tallman (Babylon 5), Jay Acovone (Stargate SG-1) and Richard Herd (Star Trek: Voyager) – co-star in the provocative thriller that A Slice Of Sci-Fi calls, “a brilliant piece of topical work that has extremely important implications for our contemporary times.” |

| "...Walter Koenig, delivers this stirring, original film about what makes someone human, no matter their planet of origin.... that tests the limits of human compassion and societal rejection. Very emotional and very powerful with a shock ending that will make you hate humanity just a little bit more." ~ Louis Fowler |

“In this aptly named memoir, Phan … lets her life story document the ongoing struggle for democracy against Burma’s
military dictatorship. Vividly told, her eventful story moves from childhood idyll in a village of bamboo huts to that of
a teenage refugee running from the Burmese Army towards the Burma-Thailand border... Phan gives voice to the
voiceless. Phan evokes anxiety and urgency in moments of possible despair, including historical travelogue and chiding
political analysis. … readers will find a compelling wake-up call.” –Publishers Weekly

| Site last updated August 28, 2010 |
| The people of Burma have demonstrated incredible bravery in the ongoing struggle against the brutal military regime in control of their country. The current military dictatorship has imprisoned Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratically elected president of Burma and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, since 1993. Known to much of the world as "Burma's Nelson Mandela", Suu Kyi leads a remarkable peaceful campaign for human rights and democracy against the Burmese military dictatorship. Like Mandela when he was imprisoned in South Africa, Suu Kyi has appealed for international support. Burma, renamed Myanmar by the military regime, is a known source of human trafficking and is the second largest producer of illicit opium. They have no Bill of Rights and their constitution was suspended in 1988. Their violent policies include severe beatings and torture of detainees and the Karen people. They have destroyed more than 3,300 ethnic minority villages in their scorched earth ethnic cleansing campaign - which resulted in creating more than 1 million refugees. They have forcibly conscripted up to 70,000 child soldiers (more than any other country in the world), and have nearly doubled the number of political prisoners in the last 18 months.... to more than 2,100. Millions Rallied to Free Nelson Mandela and South Africa. Now it's Burma's Turn!! Will your voice be counted? Crimes against humanity continue as Burma's military seeks to subdue ethnic minority groups before the 2010 elections. At the invitation of the humanitarian group U.S. Campaign for Burma, Walter and his son Andrew visited refugee camps along the Burma-Thailand border in July 2007. He will be helping in their grassroots campaign to get the message out about the human rights violations, and the long running struggle and suffering of the Burmese people: including the permanent residents of the refugee camps in Thailand. Visit our Burma Crisis page for more pictures, interviews, and details of the trip. For up to date information on the situation visit US CAMPAIGN FOR BURMA. |

Walter's latest screen-treatment - "Things to Come" - is going to be published by
independent comic publisher Bluewater Productions in a new, limited mini-series
comic that will eventually be collected into a graphic novel as well. Tentatively
scheduled to debut next spring, the cover has been done by GMB Chamichuk, with
interiors by Nathan Oaten..
"I'm very pleased to be on board with Bluewater. I anticipate an exciting
professional relationship and the opportunity to tell stories with style and
artistry," Koenig said.
"Things to Come" presents a very different take on vampires than the current
genre has featured. Set in a post-apocalyptic world in which vampires have evolved
as the only species that can withstand the toxic world, they are nonetheless
troubled by an all-too= human search for identity and purpose.
"It's quite epic," publisher Darren G. Davis said. "Fans of the genre might think
they have seen this premise before, but Koenig's vision for this is unique, creative
and impactful. I am very excited to be a part of this project."
Two hundred years after the apocalypse the
human race, buried in the bowels of the
earth, is a few tortured breaths from
extinction. It offers up one last gift to the
poisoned surface and the mutant life forms
that live there, a new species. Up until now,
they were the creatures of fiction, now they
are real and must determine the reason they
have been delivered here. Are they only the
violent spawn of mankind's evil, doomed to a
solulless eternity, or the progenitors of a
better more hopeful world? Is it possible for
them to tear the throats from their prey, drink
the blood and still pray to god? The story of
Things To Come are the things to come.

| Special Edition of "Raver" to be released by Bluewater Productions Comics! |
Bluewater will also be repackaging Walter's first foray into comics; a three-issue series called Raver. The comic books, originally published in the early 1990's at Malibu Comics, will have an added story by Walter to comprise a four-issue mini-series, with new covers done by Gregg Paulsen, will also be collected into a graphic novel and should hit comic book stores and online outlets in 2011. Raver follows the trials of a reality-bending hero whose psychotic episodes create a nightmare world with real villains and victims. And Norman Walters (Raver) moves from one twisted reality to the next trying to return to his original safe and stable existence. Read Walter's wonderful, in-depth discussion of these stories in exclusive interviews at MTV.com and with Broken Frontier at Chicago Comic Con. |
Follow updates to the project at CRT's blog and Facebook page! |
Don't yell at Norman Walters. He
doesn't deal well with conflict. A
psychotic breakdown follows
during which his mind invents
bizarre nightmare worlds with
real villains and real victims. Evil
abounds and vanquishing is
needed. Toward that end, Norman
becomes Raver, a superhero with
a caveat: his powers change from
one twisted reality to another to
closely mirror but never exceed
those of his enemies. If Raver
should fail in these grotesque new
worlds, Norman Walters won't get
to return to his old warm and fuzzy
one.

| "Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot" coming to Sirrius/XM Radio and on Brilliance Audio CD November 15, 2010! |
| The Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air’s production of Walter Koenig’s “Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot” is slated to come to the Sirius/XM Radio airwaves beginning November 15, 2010, and the first trailer for this long anticipated production has now been released at http://www.colonialradio.com/ In a story that critics say “Sparkles with sophisticated wit and intelligence”, and “Will make you want to cry even as you laugh”, Koenig’s satiric- fantasy spins a wry and insightful look at human behavior after an alien invasion leaves the fate of the human race on the shoulders of a group of society’s “losers”. Based on Koenig’s novel and dramatized by Deniz Cordell and Walter Koenig, CRT’S audio play will bring this incredible story to life with a cast of 45, a full music score, and thousands of sound effects. It will be the first time audiences have been able to “see” this story in such a vivid way. Explained producer Jerry Robbins: “When reading a book, people have a certain image of the characters, the setting, the action. The good thing about audio is that it looks just like you pictured it. Your vision is perfectly intact. This is the Theatre of the Mind – you supply the vision, we supply the sound.” Known primarily for his acting roles on “Star Trek” and “Babylon 5”, Walter Koenig is also a well-respected author of numerous novels, journals, teleplays and screenplays: with “Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot” being his first novel – written immediately after “Star Trek”. “When the series ended,” Koenig said, “I was without any employment…. I needed a purpose and to be committed to something. The writing provided that.” “Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot” has since seen two printings (with a third scheduled by Permuted Press for 2011) and has now been brought to life by the award winning team that produced “Captain Blood”, “Perry Mason”, “Powder River”, and “Treasure Island”. Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air is part of the growing resurgence of the audio dramas that once gathered families around their radios for entertainment – this time with brilliant digital sound that will never fade. With people’s busy schedules keeping them on the road and limiting their time to read, “This is the future,” said Producer Mark Vander Berg, “audio drama is the next wave.” Celebrating its 15th year, the Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air’s production of “Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot” introduces exciting science fiction programming into CRT’s lineup of historical dramas, classic literature, fairy tales, and westerns. Upcoming releases in the next year include stories by Ray Bradbury, “Logan’s Run”, and several yet-to-be-announced blockbusters. “Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot” will premiere November 15, 2010 on Sirius/XM Radio, by download on the internet, and on Brilliance Audio CD available at retail outlets. The trailer can be heard now at: http://www.colonialradio.com/ Scheduled for release on Nov. 15th by Brilliance Audio, it will also run as a mini-series on Sirius/XM radio in November. |
| At Last... The Truth about Walter Koenig is... "EXPOSED!" |
| Walter at the dedication of the new building at the Hauptschule Welheim school: "....If there is such a thing as a genetic predilection for evil then it is a heritage all of us, all mankind, must carry...." Visit Walter's Germany Blog Walter on his trip to Thailand and the crisis in Burma: "Time and again on this trip we were exposed to human beings who were gentle in nature but strong in determination. There was no beating of chests and cries for vengeance: just the absolute certainty that with time, perseverance, and pressure for change from the rest of the world, life would get better."
