BOOK 8 LIKE LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN - A coming-of-age love story, between two teenagers, set against a sci fi invasion background. ('Sweet' until the aliens start eating people, then it turns sour.) Alien warships appear in the sky over Nevada, after traveling through time and space from the far corners of the Galaxy. Hot on their tail are US Air Force Raptors, in relentless pursuit--from the future. Dubbed 'T-backs' by the Raptor pilots, and flown by Quads, the alien craft are more than a match for Earth's defenses. But Vampire Squadron is out to change that. The town of Sunrise, Nevada is the target of the vicious Quads. For it is the home of Dazzle Shelton, the meta-human who has embedded in her DNA the genetic code that the aliens desperately need... the key to the survival of their race. The Raptor pilots are young, but have been trained by the best. When it comes to dog-fights with alien T-backs, teenagers Misty and Rikkie know no fear. When it comes to their budding love for each other, however, the two girls are in uncharted territory. Falling in love, especially first love, should be a beautiful experience, to be enjoyed over long walks and romantic sunsets. Not stained and overshadowed by a ferocious alien menace, bent on enslaving the human race. But heroes don't always have choices. It has been said that love conquers all. That will be put to the test.
