This contemporary thriller is one ride you won't easily forget. Raymond, the main character and altruistic foreign aid worker, suddenly disappears and is presumed dead having not returned from the Peruvian Amazon. He reappears thirty years later to his one-time fiance looking exactly the same age as he had been. What begins here is a fascinating tale revealing the befriending of a humanoid alien two hundred thousand years ahead of our evolutionary timeline and his journey to her homeland and beyond. However, with the complicity of a super-secret intelligence arm of the U.S. government, Raymond is long overdue and considered to be both an information bonanza and by extension a very dangerous individual as a security risk regarding hyper-classified dealings with aliens that has gone on for over fifty years. But moreover, here is a story that on the human level takes one into the mind of one who has experienced the utopia of a highly evolved civilization and how it clashes with our own relative insanity in terms of our ecological and spiritual dysfunction. And more particularly, Raymond's return has stirred the dormant passion that two women -- once both lovers -- had had for him, and how he must conduct himself according to his adopted reality with the aliens. He is torn by his guilt for having forsaken them long before and his fidelity to his alien lover. He is a marked man and finds himself sinking in the quagmire of Earth.
