The Kaleidoscope Effect is an extraordinary phenomenon that takes place in a few short moments of first contact. In this short novel, Dr. Ronald W. Hull spans 6000 years to flesh out the full ramification of his theory. The basis for The Kaleidoscope Effect is science, not fantasy. Other movies and novels have attempted to describe what first contact with extraterrestrials may be like. Ron Hull believes that the advanced nature of extraterrestrials would not have them arriving in spaceships, seeding the planet with life, examining or eating us for food. There is no war of the worlds, only discovery, as Hull takes us from the Iceman of the Alps to our journey to the stars. His characters are ordinary people just struggling to live and understand the world of their birth, not fictional legends of superhuman personality.
