You bet they do. This is the first fiction novel designed to be a mythology that can strengthen your will to resist what is killing you. \u003cbr\u003e Have you ever wondered why our chronic illness is so pervasive? Answer: everything is working according to plan, almost. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The conspiracy is revealed. All of humanity is a carefully planned resource project. The advanced race of Provenger introduce agriculture to our hunter-gatherer ancestors with the intent of returning thousands of years later to harvest the population it makes possible. The staff of life becomes the club of death in this dystopian tale that reveals their plan to biologically control the development of the human race. They have designed wheat to have very specific effects. They want their victims to populate the planet while slowing their technological advancement. Their prey will be numerous, plump, and harmless; the dream of any carnivore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e They do their job too well and things go horribly wrong. When they return they encounter multitudes that are sick, obese, and poisoning themselves with ineffective drugs in an attempt to heal from chronic disease caused by their modern diet. Sound familiar? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Flesh is tainted and the Provenger's planned organic human livestock is ruined. Unless there is time to correct human health, the Provenger will need to collectivize the population to better manage the product. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rick Thompson makes first contact in modern times with these extraterrestrial game wardens as he becomes their unwilling operative. To prevent wholesale destruction of civilization, Rick must decide how to collaborate while resisting. He must help the Provenger conspire against government healthcare and nutritional guidelines to avoid collectivization, admittedly an impossible mission. \u003cbr\u003e Rick is forced to fumble his way through the roles of assassin, turncoat, and the object of alien lust. He ultimately benefits from his collusion garnering renewed youth and unlimited wealth. Along the way, he acquires allies in the most unlikely places, and struggles for his teenage son, his new Provenger lover, and all of mankind with the only thing he has, his primal estate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e (Cover art and design by the author.
