About the Book

When Air Force Chief of Staff, General Jeremy Carter learns that a terrorist flying an USAF KC-135 jet tanker was forced to crash into Mt. Wilson near Pasadena on New Year's Day, 2002 by a flying saucer, he is thrust into a quest that threatens not only his own life but that of his son, his ex-wife, whom he still loves, and close friends as well. His search puts him in a deadly power struggle with Tony Davis, Director of the National Security Agency, and eventually with the President. When Carter uncovers the truth about saucer and its pilot, aging WW II fighter ace Joe Star, he must relinquish his life-long denial of the reality of UFOs. Gone too is his rationale for ridiculing his son Josh's childhood UFO and ET contact stories, as well as for totally denying his own early encounters with the ETs. In the race to rescue his kidnapped son, Carter calls on Joe Star and his saucer to assist him in the final battle with those responsible. The story concludes with a compelling confrontation in the Oval Office.
About the Author: Getting immersed in stories has long nurtured Paul's life. From the time he was 9 years old, he rode his bike over gravel roads from his Kansas farm home to the public library in town, bringing back 2-6 books per week in his bike basket. Regularly perusing the family's two sets of encyclopedias further stimulated his already active imagination. His mother despaired of his imagination ever letting him 'settle down!' A varied 45 year career as minister, management consultant, teacher, and psychotherapist further fed the background for his writing. Adventures in the jungles of Ecuador, the pampas of Chile, and cities and landscapes of Europe offer milieu for his stories. He designed and built the passive solar home he and his wife occupy in Colorado. From the time Paul first frustrated his parents and teachers by drawing airplanes all over his school books, flying has been a passion, culminating in the building of his own plane (1995-97), a GlaStar, which he still flies. He took his first flying lesson in a Piper Cub in 1959. See pictures and more details on pages in this website (http: //paulhansenauthor.com/) under "Flying." Paul hopes that his novels will not only entertain but inspire his readers. Get ready for a ride! Two non-fiction books stem from his earlier careers. Creative Stress Management for Law Enforcement and Corrections (1979) and SURVIVORS AND PARTNERS, Healing the Relationships of Sexual Abuse Survivors.(1991) The first, though out of print, may be reissued at some future date. The latter, still in print, is now out as an ebook in 2012 and available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.
