London Book Festival Honorable Mention
Cosmic Ray's Excellent Venus Adventure is the third thrilling book in mythologist, magic realist, and ufologist, Dr. Raymond A. Keller's internationally acclaimed and award-winning Venus Rising series. Some of the interesting- and real individuals- you'll meet in this book of astounding science include:
A Canadian defense minister who "spilled the beans" about Venusians and other aliens living and working among us, scientists from around the world engineering new developments to explore and understand various outer space phenomena like magnetic reconnection, traveling faster than the speed of light, and the requisites for intelligent life on other planets, "Cosmic Ray" traversing Dimension X with the Queen of Outer Space, Dolores Barrios. This book also contains three never-before-seen photos of the Queen, to include some with the Cosmic Ray himself.
A couple from Northern California who as the co-presidents of one of America's first flying saucer clubs travel along with their group's membership to every UFO meeting and sky watch in 1950's California with the hopes of reconnecting with Venusians they once encountered in the Mojave Desert. Krsanna Durant of TimeStar reveals startling new revelations that will shake the ufology universe. A Nevada road construction foreman at Mormon Mesa, Nevada, just outside a nuclear testing site, who encounters a female saucer pilot. Sporting a beret and looking quite the revolutionary, her name is Aura Rhanes and she is from the Venusian space base Clarion on the far side of the Moon. She's monitoring atomic blasts in the desert. Possibly the second most powerful being from Venus posing as an aging, wannabe aspiring actress living in the North Hollywood Hills.
An Aerojet missile contractor who flew in a remote controlled flying saucer from White Sands, New Mexico, to New York City and back in less than 30 minutes, in 1949 no less. Never-before-seen photos taken by the contractor of Air Force personnel attached to him while working on the development of the top secret Falcon missile's dual radar and heat-seeking targeting systems are included.
Countless others also appear in the well-documented pages of all Cosmic Ray's epic Venus Rising books. So take your protein pills and put your helmet on because we are going to momentarily be blasting off for high adventures on Venus with both Cosmic Ray himself and his long-time friend and associate, the glorious Queen of Outer Space!
