What starts out as a phone call and job offer to forty-something Arizonan Mike Green quickly evolves into a mystifying adventure into the unknown. Mike is recruited into a quasi-scientific Defense Department research team based in San Diego. He starts his job with the "Joint Reconnaissance Study Group" on San Diego's Point Loma peninsula. Ten women and men comprise the JRSG. Several loyal allies, and deadly opponents, soon emerge.
The JRSG and its friends search for information on unusual national security-related issues and mysteries. They look into crop circles, dolphin intelligence, deep DNA memory theories, UFOs, ESP, modern physics, near-death experiences, so-called "Earth changes" and "pole shift" concepts, and Native American culture and legends.
Connections between these areas are discovered as well as links to the past and the future of Earth and the human race.
The women and men of the research group explore ancient questions and modern discoveries crucial to the evolution and survival of humanity. Group members explore Arizona, the "Four Corners" region, and Oahu, Hawaii.
They face experiences that are scientific, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The group uncovers dangerous threats to their investigation, to the United States, Earth, and human civilization.
Mike feels he's getting in over his head at times. Even with the support and fellowship of the research group and friends, he faces extreme circumstances alone.
In the midst of dangers and challenges, there is romantic heat between him and Amy Mella, one of the group's dolphin researchers.
This is also a story of relationships between women and men, military and civilian, the intelligence community and the average American. It is an exploration of phenomena and mysteries that now rightly hold the interest and attention of millions of people worldwide.
The story climaxes in a hidden canyon on the Navajo Nation in far northeastern Arizona. In a kiva, one of the large sunken stone circles of the ancient Anasazi people, many VIPs attend a special field conference. Sudden discoveries, dangers, and the experience of the strange unknown shock those present.
The characters in MISSION INTO LIGHT follow paths of discovery and knowledge to find new understanding of their nation, the human species, and the hoped-for breakthrough that will change the world.
