Five warrior priests, known as Agents of Cosmic Intelligence have been sent to a far distant outpost, Earth, where the Rebel leader is training a race of humans to become ruthless fighters to aid in the takeover of the multiverse. It is the beginning of a new Age, one in which darkness could reach its apex, an era known to local seers as the Kali Yuga. The mission of these Agents is to push back the darkness and free the indigenous race from the Rebel forces that have taken complete control of the planet. The Agents had been incarnating on the planet for nearly 200,000 years. They and other Agents had fought heroically against impossible odds. The Rebels continued to break the rules of the Lost Lamb Game by using obvious off-planet weapons. Everything the Agents had done so far, playing by the rules, had come to naught. The Rebels controlled the planet, and the Agents were greatly outnumbered. But now, coming to their rescue is the second most powerful entity in the multiverse, second only to The One Self.
This is a story of young lovers caught up in an apocalyptic war: formidable Templegard and his deep Nastassia, playful Layla and her former teacher Melchizedek. And their mentor, Maitreya, one of the earliest avatars -- a being of great powers and unsuspected secrets, who only rarely sees the one woman who owned his heart and then she usually didn't remember him.
The First Son reveals an alternate view of history. Ancient legends and mysteries are seen in a different light and disconnected fragments of history seem to fall into place, connecting like a jigsaw puzzle, introducing the invisible side of things as they might have happened.

Bill Harvey first experienced the Zone--that space where innovative and successful ideas and actions flow out of you effortlessly--as a young child. Bill started performing on stage at age four. He liked this feeling of being "on" and wanted to learn how to be "on" more often. So he began his lifelong quest to understand how to bring on higher states of consciousness and to help others do the same.
Bill founded the Human Effectiveness Institute, with the goal of sharing the consciousness techniques he had learned and developed.
Bill's first book, MIND MAGIC: The Science of Microcosmology, met with rave reviews in the late 70s and was lauded by thousands of readers. Fans included John Lennon, Ram Dass, Norman Cousins, Daniel Goleman, and Jimmy Carter. The book is now available in its sixth edition, MIND MAGIC: Doorways into Higher Consciousness.
In his second book, YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE: Imagine That, Bill speculates about the true nature of reality, in which all that exists is a single divine consciousness made of information. In this view, religion is not at odds with science. Bill turned his theory into fiction, and conceived an epic series of novels entitled Agents of Cosmic Intelligence. THE FIRST SON is the first to be released in the series.
Bill started his career in the media business with a dream of making one-way media into something the audience co-creates. A leader in the field as media morphed into being more interactive, putting the viewer in charge, he invented media research tools and measurement systems, including some now written into FCC regulations. He holds four issued US patents and has consulted for over a hundred Fortune 500 companies.
Bill lives with his wife Lalita and their two cats in the beautiful Hudson Valley. He has a daughter Nicole, and with Lalita has four grandchildren, Nicholas, Gabrielle, Jessica and Alexander.
