When American missionaries first visited Mindoro Island, The Philippines in the early 1950s, they found forty-five thousand indigenous people waiting for them. The Mangyan people knew from dreams, visions and divine visitations that "a strange-looking people" would come, bringing a "big black book" from which to teach them a new way of life. (Catherine L. Davis, The Spirits of Mindoro, Monarch Books,1998) In 1978, anthropologists discovered the Tau't Batu (Cave People), living in an inaccessible remote basin in the Philippines. The Cave People had no contact with humans outside of their valley before that time. The idea that any group of people could remain geographically and culturally isolated from the rest of the world into the late Twentieth Century is remarkable. As a young nation, the United States of America recognized the importance of its Pacific Ocean frontier. In 1838, they sent their first expedition to study this vast area. This group of scientists, led by Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, produced twenty-eight volumes of data and abundant specimens of flora and fauna. They also made contact with many island peoples. What do these seemingly unrelated facts have to do with the story you are about to read? Each is a historical anchor for Alouda.

The son of the king and queen kidnapped at one year of age. No ransom note, no leads, no idea of what happened to him. But the tragedy was the beginning of transformation in their lives. The world soon gave up hope that the prince would ever be found, but the royal couple continued to believe. Like the prince, you are being pursued by someone who has never given up hope of finding you and getting you back. There is no one like you, even if you are an identical twin. No one can do what you were created to do. No one can take the position that was prepared for you to fulfill, and if you don't fulfill it, it will remain vacant for eternity. It's a place in the king's heart that's empty without you. It hurts. He can't ignore it, and he won't give up his pursuit until he has you back.

Jack Drachman wondered what the people who followed the Barlow Road in covered wagons to settle the west would think about him using it to escape. They came with great expectations, pursuing their dreams. They established communities that became cities. More people came, hungry for success, willing to sacrifice anything to get it. What would those early travelers make of someone going the opposite direction now? Fleeing the very culture they worked so hard to establish? Could they see what had gone wrong and explain it to him? Was this present decline of America a mere bump in the road or something more?The chaos had been closing in on him. He hadn't gone into the small town close to him for a couple of weeks because it was too dangerous. The lack of law and order unleashed the worst in people. The last time he went to the store the shelves were mostly empty of everything anyway, except for soap and Kleenex. Everything edible was gone except for barbecue sauce. Mean-looking people were hanging around outside, and the .45 on his hip was probably the only reason he wasn't accosted.When COVID 19 hit, money-hungry big pharma raced to produce their scary vaccines and profited billions the first year after releasing them. Hmm. That did make one wonder who started the virus. Then, governments that decried human rights violations, suddenly turned fascist; forcing people to take the jab. Kool-Aid drinkers fell into line, but thinking people weren't so sure and objected. You would have to be an idiot to take what the government said at face value, and even more so the pharmaceutical industry. Oh, but the government regulates them...no, the government is owned by them. The government drug pushers never imagined My Body, My Choice would become a slogan used against them.Jack saw two possible interpretations. One; civilization was declining as it had at times in the past and chaos would ensue, or two; these things were signs of the end. The first could happen without the second, but if the second happened, the first would happen simultaneously. He didn't know which it was, but Jesus said there would be definite signs, and His advice about getting out of Dodge seemed to apply no matter which scenario it was.

Some of them look like us, but their DNA is clearly different. The question is; where did they come from and why are they drilling into the Dead Sea under the guise of a multinational geothermal project? And even stranger, why did they name it the Tartarus Project? Tartarus is the word the Apostle Peter used for hell. Brian and Margret Porter have proof of their existence and they have a code which might be the key to their defeat. Can they survive long enough to break the code and convince others of the threat? Each day, as the Dead Sea drilling goes deeper, the threat against mankind grows greater. Sightings is a Christian thriller. Once you start, you need to hang on because the protagonist's lives become a panic-stricken nightmare, scratching and clawing its way to a conclusion. Writer, Dan Walsh said Sightings rivals Frank Peretti's early work. But the real story of Sightings goes beyond the suspense. It's a spiritual journey for the protagonists.
