The notion that any visitors from outerspace that may show up, may be demons is not unique. Many Christians--especially evangelicals--have posited this view for decades. Robert Don Hughes is the first I have seen to take the view and weave it into an entertaining spiritual sci-fi thriller. He gives us time travel, a teen from a truly dysfunctional family, the tension of lost love ones (yes, Dorothy ALWAYS wants to go home!), and some very creative approaches as to how demons operate--sort of like most human governments.

At times the interplay between characters, and the inner musings of the protaganist seem a bit stiff. Nevertheless, this is an intelligent and unique approach to the theory that UFOs are evil supernatural beings.

Bottom-line: This book is well worth the bargain price that used-book vendors are selling it for here. Buy and enjoy--I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm with them -, July 31, 1999

This book is not just deep, but it's a ball to read! I kept wondering, where is he going with this - afraid that he was going to blow it, but it was a pure joy all the way to the last page. Memorable characters, and a spin on the Roswell incident that nobody has ever even come close to suggesting. I said to myself - "No he's NOT going there!" - but he did and it was masterfully executed. The book was suspenseful and maybe even a little scary, but also filled with some laughs and good food for thought. I read it in one l-o-n-n-g sitting - extremely well-done!

I was really amazed to see this book, and it's sequel, the Eternity Gene, were written by my professor from seminary. I took a course on writing from him back then. The plot and story telling really caught me up into the world he created. Very fascinating. As anohter reviewer wrote, I enjoyed how Hughes takes us on a tour of so many fascinating scenes, and strings them together. It has a "you are there" effect on the reader.
