Synopsis
Although the war was over, Amanda Hartman was no longer convinced peace would prevail after overhearing a mental
communication exchange between two Ja women. With millions of lives at stake, both human and alien, she confesses to her surrogate parent Morga, a Gray, that she heard part of an exchange by the very people they recently made peace with and how concerned she was by it.
“Morga, I have overheard a lot of conversations. I know I don’t always know their full meaning, but I do know what that
conversation and the way they looked at me meant. I know what I feel in my heart.”
“Which is?” Morga asked.
“They were talking about the Freedom Celebration. May I share their words with you?”
“Yes, of course.” He allowed her thoughts to enter his.
Amanda mentally transferred their words, “And they truly think it’s over,” along with the image of their evil smiles.
The joy of his newfound freedom faded from Morga’s thoughts as this revelation sent a cold chill through his soul.
“May God protect us.”
About the Author
Kathy Porter grew up in Endicott, New York, the birthplace of IBM and only a short distance from where one of her favorite TV series creators, Rod Serling, was raised. Kathy’s lifelong interest in science fiction ignited when her father, a science teacher, showed her craters on the moon and taught her about the constellations. She grew up watching science fiction movies and TV shows. Ray Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles was her first delve into a science fiction novel, and she has been hooked ever since.
“I think I was born telling stories,” Kathy explained during a recent interview. “As second to the oldest of seven children, the girls all slept in one bedroom. I loved making up bedtime stories with an eerie edge to frighten my sisters: tales about fairies, leprechauns, and aliens.”
In September 1961, reports of Barney and Betty Hill’s alien abduction claims took the media by storm. Kathy has been fascinated by their story of science fiction turned reality and the question, “Are we alone?”
“The concept of the Gray Guardians Series initially came to me in a dream that lingered in my mind for hours. Finally, I told my husband about it over coffee and explained to him that if it were a book, I would love to read it. He said, ‘If you want to read it, you have to write it.’ With his encouragement and support, Earth’s Ultimate Conflict came to fruition. That’s how the Gray Guardians Series began.”
Science fiction fans of all ages applaud the appearance of this bold new voice for the genre.
