Short description
Is it pure research that draws the Gliskis to visit Earth almost 21 light years away or the fear of Earth’s extinction? America’s crass and cynical leaders see no vision of the Gliskis helping Earth. And why are the Gliskis secretly meeting with the Hanover family?Extended description
Far superior compared to Earth, do the Gliskis have exploitation or conquest in mind? Does President Shrub really think capture or exploitation can work? And how is Roswell personally tied to the Gliski visit? As Gliskis and their craft appear like phantoms, some Americans catch furtive glimpses and panic. Meanwhile the President and George Weld, his corporate crony, play the surveillance and deception game, like feral cats after an elusive prey. Still, Jim and Ellen Hanover are committed to save the Earth, at the same time growing quite fond of Gliskian envoys, Gyan and Daya. How do Gyan and Dyan feel about Jim and Ellen? And seeing their tricks, about the President and his corporate partner?Tags
