Minot, North Dakota Jun 5, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Local author and producer Tracy Vetter is disrupting the military sci-fi genre with his gripping new novel and accompanying short film, The Poseidon Project. Blending the technical realism of a military thriller with deep-sea horror, Vetter’s work explores the limits of human control over the ocean’s dark secrets.
The novel introduces readers to Don Merrick, a brilliant, disruptive civilian engineer, and Captain Beverly Hornacher, the first woman to command a stealth submarine in battle. Together, they navigate the USS Specter—a vessel featuring an amorphous, Liquid metal hull that reflects its surroundings like a mirror—through a triple-threat gauntlet of rogue Russian forces, international sabotage, and a reawakened prehistoric Megalodon.
Bridging Literature and Cinema via AI
Beyond the written word, Vetter is spearheading a high-fidelity short film adaptation. By leveraging cutting-edge AI production tools, he is bringing the Specter’s surgical bridge lighting and the mythic scale of the Megalodon to life without a massive Hollywood budget. "We are in the middle of a filmmaking revolution," Vetter states. "AI is allowing independent creators to visualize the impossible."
