Produktbeschreibung
In 2045, incoming radio waves surge from the M13 star cluster, and President Rex Horn, a Planet X junkie, describes the signals as SOS, mayday, or cease and desist messages. Despite impeachment threats from his opponents, Mr. Horn funds a new program to intensify the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The program provides scholarships for outstanding students, and the President urges recipients to think outside the box. Darien Segura and Carly Hansen receive scholarships to participate in the M13 study as students at New Mexico State University. Darien, abandoned as a baby in the Darien Province of Panama, and adopted by a couple in Alamogordo, is an astronomy student. Carly, a beautiful newcomer from Texas, is studying parapsychology. While studying the incoming radio waves, they discover low-frequency waves embedded in them, apparently a message. Carly believes ESP is the key to solving the riddle. They begin testing for the elusive psi phenomenon and locate traces of it in twins, including monkeys, dogs, and people-all born in Alamogordo. Carly refers to this oddity as The Alamogordo Connection. To their surprise, they discover that Darien possesses substantial ESP, but not enough to decode the message without linking to someone else who also has it. Darien is convinced that he has a twin living in the jungles of Panama, and they embark on a journey to search for him. Upon trekking to an isolated village, they find the witch doctor who delivered Darien. Just before she dies, the old woman reveals a stunning fact. Will it be enough to decipher ET's message?

Autorenporträt
I was born in East Texas a long time ago and grew up with a sister and a brother. Upon completing high school, I joined the U.S. Air Force and served three years as a jungle survival instructor in Panama. Following my military service, I enrolled in Stephen F. Austin State University and got married. After getting my degree in biology and chemistry, we moved to Houston where our only child, a son, was born.During the early years of my career, I wrote numerous technical articles and reports but no fiction until recently. Upon retirement, I became interested in writing science fiction. My first sci-fi novel, The Dar Lumbre Chronicles, was published in 2018. It took me about two years to write The Alamogordo Connection. At that rate, you can look for the third one, The Photosynthesis Gene in 2022.My wife of 53 years died of cancer in 2014, leaving me the patriarch of a small family-a son, a daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. My family is my pride and joy.I have been a member of Sugar Land Baptist Church for over 20 years and have led Bible study classes throughout that time.
