Produktbeschreibung

When 200 alien objects, each the size of a city, arrive all over the earth, the world's population goes into panic. Yet once the ships land, there is no invasion, no communication, and no aliens nor any obvious access inside the vast vessels. As the governments and the scientific community struggle to find answers, a small number of ordinary individuals manage to gain access inside the ships. As speculation about the crafts possible intentions begins to seep into the public consciousness, those in power fear their presence may substantially change the social dynamics of the world as we know it. But do the ships represent a chance for the salvation of The Human Race or its annihilation?

Diamonds in the Sky, Book One, Parousia, is set over the first few days of the alien arrival and told from a multi-view perspective of seven different characters, from different cultural backgrounds, spanning three continents across the world - Africa, Europe and America. Each chapter of the book is divided into three different character perspectives.

While awaiting rescue one of the alien vessels begins to land right in front of her. Diana realises the lower surface of the ship is covered in diamonds some of which she retrieves. Diana narrowly escapes being crushed by the ship as it drills down into the earth. Meanwhile in the United Kingdom, Secretary for Health and drug addict Ryan Wallace is already have a really bad day and its about to get worse. In Scotland Nigerian Christian Blessing thinks the vessels might be a sign from God and she is determined to see one up close for herself. In the deep deserts of Chad simple trader Omari witnesses one of the ships begin to land just as he is about to arrive home from many months of travelling away while in France, Parisian born half Moroccan Tariq and his team are about to strike terror into the hearts of all of Europe, pulling off the greatest terror attack since 9/11.
