He believes that David Pierce, a Latter-day Saint chosen by Tohmazz Zarr himself to be the consort of noblewoman Myri Zarr-Vahro, is the key to achieving both goals. Arulezz manipulates Myri into accepting the assignment to go into the Kansas City dome of light to seduce David into marriage and allegiance to the Zarrist nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Betrothed to Myri since childhood, the emperor\u2019s brother Prince Jahnzel struggles to convince Myri to reject her new assignment and fails. While Myri prepares to go to Kansas City, Jahnzel commands his four-ship fleet to check on the Eden Colony during a trade mission. With the destruction of the Zarrists\u2019 Control Colony by the rebellious planet-spirit who calls herself Tempest, Jahnzel\u2019s critical command to maintain communication silence remains unknown to the surviving colonies. When Sara Alexander Carroll and her team send a distress signal from the planet, they set in motion a chain of events that will cripple the Zarrist nation and change their own prospects forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Intended audience: Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Fall to Eden<\/em>, I began exploring the psyche of a planet-spirit that doesn\u2019t fill the measure of its creation (D&amp;C 88:25). It seemed fitting that <em>Alien Roads<\/em> would continue that exploration and contrast it with a fantastical look at our own seemingly invisible planet-spirit. To make the story even more fun, three of my point-of-view characters are nobles who rule an arrogant race from one of God\u2019s \u201cworlds without number\u201d (Moses 1:33). One is determined to save his people by taking dominion over the earth, and he will use any means necessary. The other two are just as committed to saving their nation, but they disagree about how to do it in God\u2019s way. When the two well-intentioned nobles come into contact with Earth\u2019s planet-spirit via her now visible \u201cLight,\u201d they\u2019re forced to come face-to-face with God\u2019s <em>real<\/em> plans\u2014and their own fallibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/books2read.com\/alienroads\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/novels.zerosilver.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Get-It-Now-300x112.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Get It Now!&quot;
