L'atel hit the hyper-light control. His ship was seriously damaged but all the indicators seemed to suggest that the hyper-light would still work. If it failed to start, he and the human colonel in the seat beside him were both dead. Time seemed to slow to a crawl, the engines seemed to take forever to activate. As the seconds ticked away L'atel and Colonel Yeager were becoming convinced that something had gone seriously wrong. Just then, the stars disappeared. Are we alone? For ages humans have gazed at the night sky and wondered if there was anyone else out there. Five years ago that question had been answered a small group of aliens made an unscheduled crash landing on a Tennessee lake on live TV. As mankind adjusted to the knowledge of alien visitors, national leaders learned the more disturbing details. Aliens were not only here now but had been visiting Earth for thousands of years. In addition to being the unwitting hosts of off-world travelers, mankind had also been used as pawns in a galactic game of chess between two very advanced races. The action-packed follow up to Splashdown: First Contact? Earth Rising picks up five years after the events of Splashdown: First Contact?, in which L'atel, an alien cargo pilot, and six unauthorized passengers first arrived on Earth. While most of his passengers had eventually returned to their home-worlds, L'atel and one of his female passengers, Pan'niah, had chosen to remain on Earth. They married and settled in Las Vegas Nevada becoming the first two actual space aliens to hold a Resident Alien Card issued by the United States Government. Five years later, mankind is poised to become a part of the cosmic community. Alien technology is filtering into the consumer marketplace. Alliances have been formed and treaties signed. Soon, by hook or crook, mankind will have interstellar capability, despite the attempts of the Ebens to block us. Mankind is about to become much more than a pawn in that galactic chess game. But to the Ebens, who have played the part of the queen for thousands of years, there is no room on the board for anything but pawns, and they will do anything make sure that it stays that way. Five years ago we defied them, and they promised that we would regret it. Now it seems as though they are about to make good on that threat. A war is coming. Is mankind prepared for the fight?

Revised edition July 26th 2016. L'atel stared at the power readout in front of him, main and reserve levels both showed zero. "This is not possible, this isn't supposed to happen," he spoke out loud, well aware that the others couldn't hear him. He and his six passengers were going to die and there was no one in the universe that could save them. Splashdown tells a different story of first contact with extraterrestrials. L'atel is the pilot of an alien cargo ship who is illegally hauling passengers through our solar system when an accident forces them to crash-land on Earth. As L'atel and his passengers know, Earth is a primitive planet that has been placed off limits by the Ebens, the self appointed guardians of the galaxy. No outsider is allowed to land or even approach within one light year of Earth to protect its fragile culture. Or at least that is what the Ebens want the rest of the galaxy to believe. Soon L'atel and his passengers discover that all is not as it appears. The Ebens have secrets, and will go to any length to protect them, even if it means war, with the Earth as the battleground. Splashdown weaves a story to include many of the better known UFO and alien myths, as well as other conspiracy theories that are so popular in today's media. For example, Splashdown includes references to the 1947 Roswell New Mexico crash, the rumored 1954 meeting between aliens and President Eisenhower at Holloman Air Force Base, Project Serpo, the MJ12 documents as well as other lesser known events, such as, the Nuremburg Germany event of 1561. The novel also incorporates several historical events such as, the Kennedy assassination, the Cuban missile crisis, and the Watergate scandal resulting in a new and unique twist on the old aliens on Earth story.

The southeastern corner of White County Tennessee contains a remarkably well preserved treasure trove of natural features and forgotten history. In their heyday the communities that occupied the Scott's Gulf area were a bustling community of stores schools farms and homes. By the early seventies not a single building remained. Today not even a single foundation stone can be found at Dodson, or the nearby town of Bethesda. What had once been a heavily traveled road between several small but bustling communities around the turn of the century had, in the intervening years, turned to little more than an extended ditch that was more water than road. The Davis family moved to the Big Bottom area White county's history. Although John White is remembered by the locals as one of the founding residents of White County and is recorded as moving into the area in 1789, the Davis family lived in the Big Bottom area at least as early as 1783. The author's great-great-great-great-grandfather Ephraim Davis is recorded as being born in White County in 1783.
