Okay, let’s have some fun!

Based on the trailers alone, for this new TV SF series that starts tomorrow, I’m going to begin comparing my novel, ERO with Extant. I see some basic similarities, so I’m going to start a tweet campaign. I’m gonna keep it light and fun, and try to stick to “the facts.” I urge all of you to do the same! Feel free to tweet any similarities or miscompares between the two items!

So,I’ll begin, here:

ERO has a solo astronaut in a space station…Extant has a solo astronaut in a space station.

ERO has a hot chick, Extant has a hot chick.

Extant is produced by Steven Spielberg…ERO is produced (and written) by…uh, ummm…me.

Extant is a movie…ERO, my readers say, should be a movie!

ERO has a creepy guy in a space station…Extant also has a creepy guy in a space station.

So, okay, that’s the idea! Have fun and tweet away! Let’s see what kinds of comparisons we can come up with!

    Extant has a planet in the poster. ERO has a planet on the cover.

    Extant Poster was designed by a fancy Hollywood agency for (most likely) a lot of cash. ERO book cover was designed by ummm…me. F.P. is very generous but he is not a fancy Hollywood agency.

    Extant is Movie/Series. ERO really should be a Movie/Series!

    Extant is not a great title. ERO is a great title.

      Lon, you’re so damned KIND! Thank you! I feel so honored (and, yes, humbled) by your words….

      Be interesting to see how things bear out…I’m gonna watch the series and continue to compare.

      Gonna tweet these! Thanks! :-]
