    About this ebook

    An epic space opera, adventure...

    This thrilling twelve part series combines aspects of mythology with new technology, as the human race evolves into its true Galactic Human form.
    Reggie, a typical schoolboy, has nothing on his mind apart from the television and a packet of chocolate digestives. When the telephone rings, he suddenly becomes involved in his uncle’s bizarre behaviour, which quickly leads him into an adventure far more exciting than the film he has just been watching...
    No one believes his uncles’ abduction story, until they are propelled into another dimension. Somehow, they have to get home but, before they can do that, they have to escape from the clutches of a terrifying alien...
    Revised edition.

      I was very close to both of my parents who were my best friends, and I have lost count of the number of happy times we shared, and all of the creativity and laughter. Like my beloved father Joe, my mother Margaret was so special, and my total inspiration. I would therefore like to dedicate this book to their memory.

      Introduction

      We humans have a tendency to be very emotional about our beliefs, and if there is data or evidence suggesting our belief is wrong, then we get terribly upset about it. That is what science is all about - to look at evidence that might challenge our theories, with an open mind.

      In the fifties, human kind had not been above sixty thousand feet. We lived in a three-layered universe; God in the heavens, men in the middle, and everything else down below. It was the common wisdom then, that we were alone in the universe. The process that produced us has undoubtedly produced living intelligent creatures in many other places in the universe. I would suggest, and we're coming to believe this in science, that on virtually every planet where the environmental conditions permit, there is a likelihood of the production of living systems.

      These systems could be anything from the most simple of life forms; from the precursors to life like amino acids to simple organisms and bacteria, up through evolved life forms like the animal kingdom and ourselves, and even perhaps beyond!

      But in the recent years, I've had the opportunity to speak to people within government, whom I call the old timers. Their story is yes, these things really happened - we have been visited, craft and bodies have been recovered from accidents, and that there has been an alien presence here.

      The main one of interest is the so called Roswell Incident. It has been the one of greatest controversy, because there were many civilians who observed it or were associated with it, as well as military personnel. Officially it didn't come out at that time, because we'd just come out of a war. If this was truly advanced alien technology, then the last thing we wanted was for our enemies at the time (the Soviets) to know about it and gain access to this technology.

      Also there's a rationale that people had been frightened by the War of the Worlds scenario of H.G.Wells a few years earlier, and it was adjudged that people weren't ready for all of this. Most people today think that all the secrecy involved, perhaps properly back then, has out lived its usefulness. That if it is real, then we need to know about it, civilization as a whole needs to know about it, and that people are better prepared for it today.

      The alien remains were taken by aircraft first to Fort Worth to an Air Force Base there, and then to Wright Paterson Air Force Base and then on to Dayton Ohio. Many of the people involved are very elderly, particularly in the military and government. Some of them are convinced that it its time to tell. It is a different climate today, and they want to clear their consciences before they die…

      It’s your Uncle Bob!

      Reggie turned the volume down on the television set; he had not bothered to move when the phone rang, leaving it for his mother to answer. He just sat there reaching for the biscuit barrel, which sat on the table crammed full of chocolate digestives.

      She stood holding the receiver in her right hand, wearing a shocked expression on her face.

      "They found him wandering on Hill Top Moor in his underpants!"

      Reggie turned round, dropping a pile of crumbs on the carpet.

      "In his underpants!"

      His mother nodded.

      He started to laugh, thinking that she was joking. Uncle Bob was the last person that you would ever expect to find wandering about anywhere in his underpants, particularly on a damp miserable evening such as this.

      Are you sure?

      His mother nodded.

      Yes, but they can't seem to get a word out of him!

      Reggie sat up; Uncle Bob was always quite chatty, with a keen sense of humour. He could picture him now, sitting in his chair, with a big smile on his jolly face.

      "In his underpants!"

      Reggie’s mother nodded her head again.

      Yes, he's at the police station, and they want us to go and collect him.

      Reggie suddenly lost interest in the biscuits, wondering what was going on.

      But what about Auntie Val?

      He knew she always went to the Scrabble club on a Thursday, and could just see the expression on her face when they told her. Ever since Uncle Bob left the Navy, she had been doing her best to social climb, and this was going to put a huge dent in her plans.

      Reggie was filled with a mixture of concern and amusement, wondering just what had happened to him. He would gladly forgo the next month’s pocket money just to see the look on her face when they told her. Auntie Val was always dressed in her
