Alternate Routes : Book II in the Journey Series

It has been supposed that there are still thousands of unknown mysteries still being uncovered that will continue to tease man's imaginations and research such as the missing link and all the other unknowns of the earth to which we still search for answers. That missing link and other wonders may very well come from new finds archaeologists can dig up from the ground...or it may just be that the answers can come from the stars. When man is desperate to save that which he loves and feels comfortable with and when we could be dangerously close to having it destroyed for all mankind, there are those who will fight at all costs to save it.

Committees, formed to protect and hide the 'families' from the stars that have been present in various ways on Earth for over 250,000 years, are in a fight to save their own families under attack. They are being hunted by those who are renegades expelled from their own starships, outside their control. All these families have been sent over time from light years away on one way trips and have established homes and made a place in all corners of the world. The cabals who gathered against them have been established for centuries also, made up of ruthless star-traveler renegades but out to commit destruction and uncover the identities of all those who traveled here to have a better life for themselves and mankind. Rodane, Sabina, Agatha, Quimby and a host of others from one of the most advanced 'families' for over a century have the most to lose. They are willing to put their own lives and interests on the line to recover artifacts left by others of their kind from centuries ago to safeguard their tools and secrets and prevent the renegades and others in league with them from obtaining them. If that were to occur, some very corrupt and criminal people would turn the gifts brought to Earth into weapons to endanger the entire planet just to enrich them. It would also allow them to extend their control over most of the globe. Stopping them is the first order, protecting their own identities may be a thing of the past and any uncovering of ancient secrets would change the history of the entire Earth.
