About the Book

Now what do we do?Eight recent high school graduates, while vacationing with family and friends, learn that a massive alien invasion force is heading for Earth.A highly advanced civilization in the Aquaria System, 86 light years distant has already succumbed to the invasion, but nor before sending a gift to eEarth to enable a counter to the threat.The gift is in the form of a genetic enhancement that enables a recipient to utilize capabilities that effectively makes the person a weapon against the invaders. Because of the potential for abuse, the gift cannot be given to just anyone.The gift representative takes nearly a year to select suitable recipients. Once the selections are made, the recipients must learn how to effectively use the gift when it is needed. Clearly a period of training and adjustment will be required if they are to be ready in time to counter the invasion.Add to that, the governments and power brokers on Earth would live to learn the identities of those to whom the gift has been applied, so they can be leveraged or blackmailed into work against their will and not in the best interests of Earth.The form the training takes is surprising as are the steps taken to conceal their identity.
About the Author: Don Piatt Koch is a retired insurance regulatory consultant who has lived in Juneau. Alaska for the past 48 years. Don grew up in Philadelphia during WWII and post war years. His family moved to South Jersey in 1951. He served a three year enlistment in the US Marines with postings at Iwakuni, Japan, Camp Lejeuene, North Carolina and a six month tour with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean making demonstration amphibious landings. Don has been an avid SciFi reader since high School. He has been married for 39 years and has 3 adult children and two grandchildren. He is now working on his fifth science fiction novel. Don likes the SciFi genre because it allows him to explore the many possible responses to the age old question, "what would happen if" along with the implications inherent in the particular response. He says that he believes that he has a bunch of stories yet to tell.
