Overview

One hundred mental patients are brutally massacred in the frigid cold of a Russian forest as they wait for a mysterious light coming down from the night sky. Their deaths are never spoken of again.

More than three decades later, directors at mental hospitals in California are stunned when 100 patients—comatose for years—suddenly "wake up" and speak of a person called "The Commander" who will lead them to a place where they will be taken from Earth.

One person may hold the answers—a severely mentally-ill homeless man whose knowledge of astronomy, physics and mathematics is not only more advanced than Einstein and Tesla, but can summon superhuman abilities in the blink of an eye.

Taken in and protected by a small team of mental health physicians, a brilliant astrophysicist, a derelict naval officer, and a renowned Ancient Aliens theorist, this freakishly gifted person called "Doogie" warns that time is running out; that the "creators" are already on their way to Earth. They will arrive within weeks.

The chosen hundred must be ready, but like 30 years ago, a new threat makes its presence menacingly clear. A xenophobic Senator with a horrific secret and the authority to launch military strikes is plotting to destroy an extraterrestrial visitation of any kind. . .even if it means the deaths of thousands, if not the utter destruction of the entire West Coast.

About the Author

Joaquin De Torres was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from high school, he joined the U.S. Navy at 17 where he trained in the field of naval intelligence. He earned his B.S. and M.A. in International Management while serving his final tour at the National Security Agency, and retired from the Navy with 21 years.

His experience with military game changers, along with his adventures within the covert labyrinth of the Defense Department helped create his eclectic collection of heroes and villains, and the dreadful situations they are thrust into.

In the spirit of Michael Crichton and Jules Verne, De Torres sees a world where technology is the elixir and, ultimately, the inhumane curse of Mankind. His visions of that curse are graphic and disturbing, forcing his characters to come to grips with their flaws and fears in order to summon their courage to stop it.

De Torres is an English professor, private tutor and freelance writer living with his family in Zagreb, Croatia.
