The John Storm Franchise, is a series of original "climate and ocean" awareness stories being developed as graphic novel and screenplay adaptations. Sample art shown above. We hope to get 'Cleopatra The Mummy' - or - the alternative 'Cleopatra's Mummy' into print by 2024. To be available on Amazon and at other good bookstores, including libraries and schools. Free of plastic toys. Please note, there are two short story, script adaptations based on the finding of Cleopatra's tomb and subsequent reincarnation by modern means - with a third in the formulation stage. In the 1st draft, the antagonists are Occultists based in Brazil, seeking to create a genetically enhanced master race with modified DNA, an Indiana Jones inspired, technology spy romp. In the 2nd draft, the antagonists are biological research scientists based in Europe, accepting a dare to prove the capabilities of their newly developed cloning technology, from the richest man in the world - which began as an EU funded research project, looking for a cure for cancer. A 3rd adaptation, is more along the lines of 'Frankenstein' with a descendent of the (real) Baron Victor VI, taking up the torch, as he acquires a sample of Cleopatra's DNA from John Storm. This is the 4th adaptation, with comic horror overtones, as a distinguished Carpathian scientist sets out to discover why ancient Egyptians 

The Earl Arclaud of Carfax Hall in London is a wealthy Romanian philanthropist and technology investor who helps to fund the work of the Illuminatum at his secret Carpathian laboratory, located in a Castle in Transylvania.

Arclaud is keen to advance medical science, in his quest to find a cure for a rare form of cancer, for the Countess of Arclaud, who is infected by the "Vampire Virus," so named because the victims suffer cold sweats and delusions of dying and being dead, while still alive. Victims of the so-called 'Vampire Virus' present as having an insatiable appetite for raw meat, also drinking blood from live humans, who then get infected. All the signs of vampirism, as described in Bram Stoker's novel.

The Earl is convinced that the work of the European funded cohort, all members of a New Illuminati society called Novus Illuminatum, will allow the DNA of his beloved wife to be reprogrammed with a suitable crafted CRIPSPR virus, to remove the defective genes, and so cure her of her vampire like symptoms.

He challenges the European group, working in his castle near the Carpathian mountains, Transylvania, to prove their theory, fronting a sizeable 'Wager,' though secretly planning to use the tech for his project, with some help from a crooked CIA operative, Jack Mason. But when the cloning experiment works, the CIA kidnap the reincarnated Cleopatra, to examine her in some detail at Guantánamo Bay, for DARPA, double crossing the Earl, and John Storm, who donated the DNA to the group, in the belief that their work was of significant benefit to the human race.

Mistakenly believing that vampires exist as the undead, Professor Abraham Van Helsing tracks down the Countess to Carfax Hall, and attempts to kill her with a knife made of silver, and a wooden stake. But is thwarted, when the Earl relocates his stricken wife to his Castle in Romania. Van Helsing enlist the help of Steve Green, who in turn asks Charley Temple to research the matter. Since Helsing's story sounds wildly far fetched.

Charley Temple, investigative reporter, has been following Illuminatum's progress, visiting first Carfax Hall in London, and then the castle laboratory in the Carpathian mountains, where she is caught spying and detained for questioning. Then, John Storm chimes in with Dan Hawk to effect the rescue of his media ally, when he is accidentally injected with a CRISPR virus, that enhances the strength of humans. A part of one experiment to prove that the DNA of living subjects can be altered by design.

The cure for cancer is the Holy Grail of medical achievement, a Crusade that is within our grasp.

THE ILLUMINATI

Bavarian secret society founded in 1776, organized like the Freemasons. new order was Bund der Perfektibilisten, or Covenant of Perfectibility (Perfectibilists); he later changed it because it sounded too strange. On 1 May 1776, Weishaupt and four students formed the Perfectibilists, taking the Owl of Minerva as their symbol. The members were to use aliases within the society. Weishaupt became Spartacus. Law students Massenhausen, Bauhof, Merz and Sutor became respectively Ajax, Agathon, Tiberius and Erasmus Roterodamus. Weishaupt later expelled Sutor for indolence. In April 1778, the order became the Illuminatenorden, or Order of Illuminati, after Weishaupt had seriously contemplated the name Bee order.

AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT

The Age of Enlightenment or the Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, was an intellectual and philosophical movement that occurred in Europe, especially Western Europe, in the 17th and 18th centuries, with global influences and effects. The Enlightenment included a range of ideas centered on the value of human happiness, the pursuit of knowledge obtained by means of reason and the evidence of the senses, and ideals such as natural law, liberty, progress, toleration, fraternity, constitutional government, and separation of church and state.

The Enlightenment was preceded by the Scientific Revolution and the work of Francis Bacon and John Locke, among others. Some date the beginning of the Enlightenment to the publication of René Descartes' Discourse on the Method in 1637, featuring his famous dictum, Cogito, ergo sum ("I think, therefore I am").

NEW WORLD ORDER

The New World Order (NWO) is a conspiracy theory that hypothesizes a secretly emerging totalitarian world government. The common theme in conspiracy theories about a New World Order is that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually achieve world domination and rule the world through an authoritarian one-world government—which will replace sovereign nation-states—and an all-encompassing propaganda whose ideology hails the establishment of the New World Order as the culmination of history's progress. Many influential historical and contemporary figures have therefore been alleged to be part of a cabal that operates through many front organizations to orchestrate significant political and financial events, ranging from causing systemic crises to pushing through controversial policies, at both national and international levels, as steps in an ongoing plot to achieve world domination.

Before the early 1990s, New World Order conspiracism was limited to two American countercultures, primarily the militantly anti-government right, and secondarily the part of fundamentalist Christianity concerned with the eschatological end-time emergence of the Antichrist.
