A few days I exchanged a couple of emails regarding the similarities between my 1989 planned novel “The Graeae” and the movie “Source Code”.
As a bit of background, the synopsis and a couple of chapters were sent to a number of USA-based literary agencies in the early 1990s and none responded. Then, a few years later the movie “Source Code” appears using a number of similar plot devices to “The Graeae”.
I am aware that sometimes similar stories are thought up by different authors. But for me what is frustrating is that I genuinely believe that “The Graeae” is afar more interesting story line that really is quite mind-blowing.
Above is a link to a recording I made of me reading the subsequent short story I wrote using the plot-line of the oroginal novel in a short story format.
I am keen to have your opinions on this.
If anybody wants a pdf of the story please let me know.
