The Return (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781663269362)

The Return is about a young boy growing up in the Wyoming high desert. The book leads the reader through his perilous journey through time and the eventual destruction of the Earth. Beginning in the early 1950s, Noah lives with his parents in a small town of one hundred souls. He is mesmerized by the flat horizon and the beautiful sky with its amazing clouds, both seeming to go on forever. But it is the crystal clear night sky and the trillions of stars that motivate his dreams and desire to study astronomy. Noah loves to walk across the desert. He fantasizes about space travel, wondering if he will ever experience it. He has a favorite secret place a mile from his home. As he grows through his teens, Noah discovers a cave. When he builds up the courage to explore it, he finds a spaceship that, as it turns out, was meant to be found. It is here that he meets Agena who escaped Earth before the great flood, over ten thousand years ago, and relocated to Alpha Centauri with the rest of the human race. Noah and other pilots of the "Dark Ships" have a mission. Earth will again be destroyed, not by natural disasters but by human greed and lust for power. As the Earth confronts its destruction, the Dark Ships evacuate the worthy humans with the same psychological make-up: empathy. Mars and Titan have been terraformed to accept the survivors until they can safely return.
