About this ebook
Over 25,000 years ago a humanoid race stumbled upon the earth. They were amazed that the humanoids on the earth were quite similar to them as their colonization efforts had never led them to an inhabited planet. Deciding to watch and wait they witnessed five natural disasters destroy most of the life on Earth, but each time mankind proved resilient.
Finally, the leaders of the home planet, Osiriat, decided that mankind could become an ally in space and decided to help him once he reached that point. They also noticed star signs/alignment patterns that would clue man into upcoming disasters if he would learn to read them. The fifth mission to Earth secretly built the pyramids of Egypt and Meso-America, but instead of reading the signs, man interpreted them as signs from the gods. Knowing mankind was doomed to disaster in the earth calendar year 2012, the leaders of the fifth mission decided to send their children on the sixth and final mission to earth to rebuild society, this time as a mixed race.
Why didn't mankind locate Osiriat with his long range space based telescopes? Because it is hidden in the binary Sirian system. The two suns of this system are too bright and hide it well. Besides, man was looking into deeper space for habitable planets.
Why didn't man read the signs? He did, but his perception created gods and then God. Once he had the "answer", the structures which carried the signs became tourist attractions.
Why do I discuss the next 4300 years? To answer the questions, "Will history repeat itself? and Will mankind learn from the past and save himself?"
You decide.

His parents encouraged his siblings and himself before kindergarten to become avid readers. At five years old he found a first grade reader on the sidewalk and mastered it before he ever went to school. In school he excelled in writing, always choosing historical subjects for class reports. His interest in history came from touring different parts of the U.S. (and Europe one year) every summer as a child including a trip to the "colonies" in 1976 for the ultimate bicentennial celebrations. In his senior year (high school) he was chosen editor of the creative writing magazine. Life circumstances forced him to choose to leave university in his junior year, but his writing never stopped nor his love for history. He never understood why some people thought history boring because he saw that a phrase here or a decision there could've altered everything. That's when he started investigating the "what if" of alternate history and the concept of "history repeating itself." His editorial letters have appeared in several newspapers. Having perfected his technique (both in research and form) and choosing a genre he is familiar with, he now wishes to share his gift for storytelling with the world. His nine year old daughter has had the advantage of having several children's stories written for her that almost always have historical or mythical lessons. Those stories she has enjoyed as he hopes you will enjoy this one.

Reviews for The Sixth Sun
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not an easy read, basically a complete history of civilization on a future Earth. An alien civilization keeps mankind on Earth after a cataclysmic event. If you are a religious person, this may not be the right choice of reading material. According to the story, religion is the great destroyer of humanity and life on Earth. Still, if you are open minded, an interesting novel!
