Description:

The United Council for Developing Worlds, an alien conglomeration of civilized planets, wants to help the Earth move forward into space—or at least that is what the plan appears to be.

The alien organization leader, Copolla, has decided the time is right to install two delegates from Earth onto the Council and to infiltrate the American political system to effect change. Yet, his leading initial contact agent Leumas senses something is wrong—that the Earth is not yet ready to be part of the prestigious organization.

Forced to carry out Copolla’s plan, Leumas soon discovers that the two humans are not what they appear to be and that Copolla has something else in mind for the future of the planet Earth. The two humans, Greg Carlson and Sarah McClendon, get caught in the middle of the struggle for Earth domination and unknowingly hold the key which can topple Copolla’s tyrannical rule if their secret is discovered…that is if they live that long.

Excerpt:

"Just have them killed and begin the indoctrination!" the voice boomed impatiently. "We will not waste any more time debating this issue!"

All heads turned toward the Honorable Copolla, leader of the United Council for Developing Worlds, as he regally strode to his seat. He took slow, calculated steps, so that each delegate could take note of his ominous appearance. His large humanoid shape commanded a height of well over seven feet. His body was a large mass of pure muscle that conveyed an immediate sensation of power and strength. His face, made of a substance that resembled quartz, glistened in the light and was as unmoving as stone. His eyes were red and glowed with an intensity that looked like fire.

The delegate from planet Ross 154, a child-like humanoid figure with barely enough flesh on its body to hide its skeletal frame, asked timidly, "How can you be sure they are the ones? I am very concerned that the movement to install members to this Council from this primitive planet is very premature. They are by far at the lowest end of development compared to any other planet that is a member of this Council. Furthermore, the indoctrination process is very tricky, and could compromise the initial contact agent, Leumas. I feel the Council should re-visit this issue. The charter states that—"

"The Leader of the United Council of Developing Worlds has decided!" Copolla thundered, his strident voice echoing throughout the cavernous hall. "They have been selected as the next members. It is done!" He spoke with finality. "The Sol system has been under our influence for far too long now. It needs its own species to contribute to the decisions of its destiny. There will be no further discussion on this issue!"
