The Great Return (The Grand Plan Saga)($17.95Value)

Description

The Great Return is Book Two of The Grand Plan Saga —a chronicle of life on Earth in a universe where humanity is not alone. Science fiction or “science fact?” That will depend on how credible you find the recent disclosures by the US government regarding UFOs—or UAPs, as they are now called, Unexplained Anomalous Phenomena. The Great Return is a true-to-life story of when America first recognized that extraterrestrials might be visiting Earth and the speculation about what it might mean—a daunting mystery for an increasingly contentious country as seen through the eyes of those "visitors" who were first to arrive twelve thousand-plus years ago. Here’s a sneak preview . . . . . . How did the “Grand Plan” work out on “New Earth”? Did nudging “the People” forward—teaching the primitive hunter-gatherers basic skills, introducing them to new tools and concepts, exposing them to the institutions they would need in an organized society, even tinkering with their genes—produce the hoped-for great and enduring civilization? Nick Adamstock and the crew of the Abzu are about to get the answer. Rocketing through the time-dilating spacetime fold, they’re forced to return to “New Earth,” the planet they were marooned on some twelve thousand-plus years before—in their absence, their former Earth was destroyed by runaway climate change and nuclear Armageddon. The outlook isn’t promising—the Abzu arrives as the first atomic bombs explode. Can Nick and the crew find peace and safety by blending into an America beset by an unholy trinity of troubles—the unending Cold War; contentious race relations; and gun violence, both random and targeted political assassinations—all with Vietnam on the horizon? And what to make of the other “visitors” on Earth—the mysterious UFOs seen by millions? Despite rumored crashes, they appear to be as technologically advanced as the Abzu. Do they pose an existential threat, or more hopefully, are they here to give the descendants of the People a second chance, a renewed grand plan to save humanity from self-destruction?
