Intervention is a powerful story of incredible grace in the midst of hardship, danger, disappointment and heartache. It is an epic true story of consistent intervention in the life of an individual from childhood to adulthood. This literary work is a biographical narrative which points to hope in spite of the brokenness that humanity experiences in this world. Richard Smith shares true intimate details of various unique circumstances he encountered and endured, which should have placed him on a tragic trajectory towards ultimate hopelessness, but in each circumstance, intervention is made on his behalf. If you are feeling lost, hopeless, defeated, worthless, or empty, this book will be a great encouragement to you as it points you towards hope beyond measure. Take a journey through the life of an individual who has felt all of the things previously mentioned and see how he discovered that he was purposely created and that all of the hard things he has faced in life only pushed him closer to being who God ultimately created Him to be. May this biographical effort inspire you to see the value in even the hardest things you have faced in life. May it lead you to look to the greatest hope offered to mankind, which is highlighted in the final chapter. As you read Richard's story, consider your own story and identify moments of intervention within it.

Why you may ask, is the name of this novel "e;The Dark Side of the Moon"e;? The back side of the Moon is not dark, it receives as much sunlight as the front side does. The term "e;dark"e; is often used in Science to denote our lack of knowledge, such as in Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Because the moon's front side always faces earth until recently no human has been able to see the Moon's backside. That is until 1979 when the Soviet space probe Luna 3 took the first grainy photographs and in 1968 the Apollo 8 astronauts viewed the backside firsthand. Astronomers were shocked, for the backside looked nothing like the front side does, it was if the moon had been slapped together by two totally different processes. My novel takes place in the 6th decade of the 21st Century when NASA has funded Project Farside, an observatory to be built on the Moon's backside. Placed in the crater Daedalus, the Lemaitre Synoptic Telescope (LST) is slated for "e;first light"e; in August of 2067, but this event is delayed by several problems, including a mysterious sabotage of the LST. The story follows the career of Dr. Seth Byrne, the first director of the Farside Observatory, and how Seth and his team resolve the delays and achieve "e;first light"e;. The project goes on to explore the Universe with new Project Farside instruments and explore the backside. Their discoveries remove some of the dark surrounding our knowledge of the backside of the moon.

Otis and Charlie were both in their 70's when they first saw the map - the map to the vault buried below the Old Nevada ghost town know as Heaven's Gate. Legend had it that Howard Hughes had buried 50, new and pristine, 1981 Deloreans in the massive vault. The two widowers were looking for an adventure and a chance to get away from the everyday routine of living in a retirement community. This was their chance to prove a legend and solve a 50 year old mystery. Dealing with the Indian curse and avoiding the ghosts and spirits that inhabited the old town seemed to be a minor worry - at least for now.

The sighting of Great Whites in the Gulf of Mexico was more than a rare event, it was an extraordinary event. Now, almost overnight, the vicious attacks started. The deadly encounters occurring from Biloxi all the way down to Tampa. The great whites seemed to be on an unexplainable killing rampage. A 47 foot U.S. Coast Guard Motor Life Boat and five brave crewmen were assigned the task of finding the cause of the attacks and why the creatures were suddenly appearing in alarming numbers along the beaches of the Gulf Coast. What these five men discovered was much more sinister than a marauding band of great white sharks - they found something lurking deep in the Gulf that had been lying dormant for half a century - A mindless killer void of thought or compassion - It lie on the sandy bottom and waited to be awakened.
