Emily Smith is an average student at a university known for its advanced studies in science and mathematics. At least she led them to believe she was average. She had been having dreams of a strange new math that solved space time travel. After meeting with her physics professor who completely dismissed her she was downcast and while walking near the school a man named Blain entered her mind and told her to follow him. She had the gift of reading minds since childhood and would not miss an opportunity to talk to him as he was the first to telepathically talk to her. She was angry when he refused to answer her questions, until upon entering a clearing she saw a saucer hovering several feet off the ground. Little did she know she would be pivotal in saving the human race from extinction There were others seeking her in order to destroy her from the face of the earth, and then the rest of the human species. Young Ensign Robert Aaron was gifted with a high degree of intelligence and had graduated first in the Alliance Space Academy thus he was given the opportunity to choose his first assignment. He chose Lagrange Point Station Two. He believed that if there were to be any contact with an Alien Race that this base would be the most likely place of first contact. He experienced euphoria and fear when he first observed the alien space craft off in the distance. His fear turned to sheer terror when two light craft detached from the ship and started toward the Space Station.
Jawane, Hanlee, and Persha stepped off the saucers lift onto planet Earth. They were terrified There was no ceramic bubble to protect them from the cosmo here. There was no turning back. They saw Emily waving from a stand of trees. Due to environmental concerns the future of the Earth looked grim. The Andrians calculated that the ability of the Earth to sustain life as we know it to be 500 years. They also believed that the introduction of the Human-Andrian Hybrids and their resultant offspring should help resolve the debilitating issues plaguing the Earth. With the Hybrids in place on the Earth, The Council of Yield, the Andrians governing body, approved the exchange program. Jawane, Hanlee, and Persha were the first of many Andrians to experience life on Earth; thus, the Assimilation began. There were also military and scientific exchanges made, all in secret not to upset the populous. The Andrians were very much aware of their own advanced intellectual abilities over the Humans. However, they were surprised with the Human's cunning and ability to deceive their traitorous military personnel. The Human-Andrian Hybrids only accented this trait; And even more disturbing to the Andrians was the discovery of a chemical molecule in the brains of Humans which the Andrians did not have. It appeared that this chemical matrix of molecules was required for their next level of exponential mental growth. The abundant appearance of this molecular chemical matrix in Human-Andrian Hybrids seems to be an introduction to the new evolution of specie development. It was postulated by some scientist that the ability to access full cerebral capacity would continue until the new specie could use 100% of their mental capacities. However, none of this mattered to 12 year old, Sara, who went aboard an intergalactic carrier to accompany her friend, Muscula, one of the few of her species saved from extinction by Emily. Being in three months of decontamination was required, but she woke up

Written with palm-sweating intensity from a seasoned air combat veteran whose prose puts you right in the cockpit, this highly praised historical thriller highlights the heroism and bravery of Allied soldiers in a forgotten chapter of World War II. A powerfully authentic and thrilling saga based on the true story of Operation Halyard, WWII's most daring and successful rescue mission, from air combat veteran and acclaimed author Tom Young... Summer 1944: Yugoslavia is locked in a war within a war. In addition to fighting the German occupation, warring factions battle each other. Hundreds of Allied airmen have been shot down over this volatile region, among them American lieutenant Bill Bogdonavich. Though grateful to the locals who are risking their lives to shelter and protect him from German troops, Bogdonavich dreams of the impossible: escape. With three failed air missions behind him, Lieutenant Drew Carlton is desperate for redemption. From a Texas airbase he volunteers for a secretive and dangerous assignment, codenamed Operation Halyard, that will bring together American special operations officers, airmen, and local guerilla fighters in Yugoslavia's green hills. This daring plan--to evacuate hundreds of stranded airmen while avoiding detection by the Germans--faces overwhelming odds. What follows is one of the greatest stories of World War II heroism, an elaborate rescue that required astonishing courage, sacrifice, and resilience.
