SKY WARRIORS

by Paul Hansen

Overview

Set in the canyon lands of Utah, SKY WARRIORS follows the impact of unsought encounters with UFOs and ETs on the lives of two men and a woman and culminates in a desperate struggle to keep a KC-135 jet tanker with a full load of fuel from crashing into the Rose Bowl.

Abducted by ETs while on his vision quest in 1935 at age seventeen, Native American (Ute) Joe Star struggles to accept the ETs revelation that he is part Star Being. To his surprise, they teach him to fly a saucer. When he returns to earth, his ignited love of flight moves him to enlist in the US Army during WW II to become a P-47 fighter pilot. There he has to endure the tragic loss of his girl friend, a WASP pilot (Women’s Army Service Pilot). Brian, a recently widowed businessman and pilot, must look far beyond himself to learn how to love again and rise to heroic action. Sally, her childhood shattered by ET abductions and her recent past scarred by betrayal and divorce, struggles to overcome her fears and find the strength to love courageously and act boldly. The three come together to find hope and purpose, culminating in a desperate showdown in the sky, where the outcome will determine whether thousands at the Rose Bowl will live or die. This tale of flying, UFOs, romance and personal transformation will appeal to readers who appreciate credible characters in an gripping adventure with a paranormal flavor.

About the Author

Paul A. Hansen, Ph.D.

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 45 year career as minister, management consultant, teacher, and psychotherapist allowed him to hone his writing while crafting sermons, several training manuals, plus articles in professional journals. A diverse set of hobbies, including star gazing, fly fishing, camping, and photography help him stay grounded. Adventures in the jungles of Ecuador, Costa Rica, the pampas of Chile, the cities and countries of Europe, and flights in his plane around the US provide a rich 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 his website (paulhansenauthor.com) under “Flying.” Paul intends for his novels to not only entertain but inspire his readers. Get ready for an exciting ride!

Two Non-Fiction books stem from his earlier careers. SURVIVORS AND PARTNERS, Healing the Relationships of Sexual Abuse Survivors.(1991), available now as an ebook and in print. Creative Stress Management for Law Enforcement and Corrections (1979)may be re-issued at some future date.
