About this ebook

Many live their entire existence without encountering a character-defining moment, that point when one must make a life-altering decision and live with the consequences. This isnt the case for Jake Williams, a retired astronaut on a camping trip in the Colorado Rockies southwest of Denver. His defining moment involves a life-and-death struggle to save an injured alien whose dark purpose changes Jakes life.

As Jake attempts to save the alien, an unexplainable bond develops. The alien forsakes his people and transfers not only telepathic control of his ship to Jake, but also his vast knowledge of the universe and a critical part of his DNA. From that moment, Jake becomes responsible for the lives of everything on the planet. Hes asked to sacrifice all he holds dear and is tested to the limits of human endurance. During this chaos and overwhelming hopelessness, family, friends, and government leaders rally to help him save humanity by fleeing the coming destruction.

As Jake reaches his limits, a young woman crosses his path, a beautiful Spanish girl half his age. Gena serves as the personal secretary of the first female president of the United States, and shes unwillingly pulled into the circle surrounding Jake and his ship. For a long time, they both resist the feelings growing between them. But Genas wild passion and Jakes raging desire ignites a powerful love binding them across the vast distances of space and is the driving force that saves mankind.
