As the SkyFire event begins, people everywhere stop to ponder the sky which is ablaze with a swirling display of light, color and motion. The small craft responsible for the disturbance is secretly retrieved by NASA and brought to the White Sands military base in New Mexico. Two television news personalities are given the inside track to monitor the story of the first official alien (T-1 for Traveler 1), to ever arrive on planet earth. The opportunity in what should be the greatest discovery of the millennium disappears as the military begins to view T-1 as an advanced scout for the imagined coming "invasion". While the military focuses on this celestial attack, terrorist forces on earth are implementing their own real attack on America and western civilization. T-1 is rescued from the escalating military "dissect him" mentality by the reporters and a small group who believe T-1 is not the invasion scout the military fears. The terrorist plot, and the fate of two distant worlds become inexorably tied together. SkyFire was written specifically for and designed to provide today's avid fiction reader with a gripping tale that brings science fiction and Christian prophecy together. It is a refreshing positive alternative to the ever-increasing barrage of often negative alien literary choices. SkyFire is an easy read for all ages, holds the reader's attention and moves quickly to its dramatic conclusion. A common impression by people who have read it is, "This is like watching a movie "
