S: Yes, pretty much.

I: Okay, then, uh, let’s see, “Chapter Ten: New Intel.” This says here, “Mike Green, Air Force Captain Amy Mella and CIA analyst Jennifer Thorsen interview Dr. Ben Westman, former Army intelligence major and anthropology professor at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, about unconventional research topics.”

What about this part?

S: One of the three-person teams, which the main character is on, is sent up to the Four Corners area. And they’re supposed to interview this guy to get some information and his viewpoint. This guy is a friend of the CO for the Joint Recon Study Group.

He fills them in on what he knows, or the way he looks at, the things they are researching. Gives some background, and, sort of, analysis – his point of view.

I: Alright. Next “point of interest” in the second book is Chapter Thirteen, called “Recon.” It reads, “Air Force Colonel Tom O’Brien, commanding officer of the Joint Reconnaissance Study Group, returns to San Diego from top secret briefings and meetings back east. He contemplates the implications of what he has learned and how these things fit into the mission of his group.”

Okay, anything more about this section?

S: Well, O’Brien gets a lot of information in these meetings. Sort of like things to come, things on the horizon. Situations people are getting ready for. And developments that are, sort of, surprising to him. Kind of far out things I guess you would say. Mostly positive. Maybe even sort of miraculous.

I: And these developments are described in detail?

S: Yeah, pretty much, pretty much detail, I would say.

I: “Chapter Sixteen: Story Teller and Chapter Seventeen: The Old DayS: Mike, Amy Mella and Jennifer Thorsen, while in Flagstaff, Arizona, visit a book-signing at a local bookstore by a Cherokee author and story-teller.”

“He tells a story strikingly similar to the vision Mike was given by his grandparents during a near-death experience in ‘Mission Into Light.’ In that experience, he seemed to go back in time, and into his own ancient DNA of his Cherokee ancestry to a strange incident. Mike, Amy and Jennifer then conduct a field interview with the author to obtain more information.”

So, this is somewhat of a tie-in to the first book?

S: Uh, yeah. This Cherokee guy tells a story from his book, supposedly an old legend, that dovetails with part of the one character’s, Mike’s, near-death experience and what he saw in a sort of vision.

They interview this author to get more information from him. Sort of a covert field interview.

I: Well, that’s interesting. Okay, here in the final chapters, “Chapter Eighteen, Ready for Anything” and “Chapter Nineteen, Deploy to Light,” I guess these are the climax, and the description here is, “Many developments begin to converge including increased global appearance of crop circles, detection of undersea fault activity by Navy dolphins and other matters.”

“Members of the Joint Reconnaissance Study Group continue their operations and prepare for a possible significant event to occur as part of, yet distinct from, a steady process they have become aware of.”

“Suddenly, in the early morning hours on the north side of Phoenix, Arizona, a strange light slowly and gently emerges. Public safety personnel and the JRSG members respond to the scene . . . and find that something very significant is occurring, something that changes the world.”

That sounds fairly dramatic. And it’s a positive outcome?

S: Very positive. Some kind of breakthrough event, I think of it as. It’s something the group members suspect from the beginning might happen. And through the books, all of their adventures and research, they’re sort of following clues, following leads, putting things together.

It ends up leading to this. Things sort of tie in and come together.

Part of the group flies in on a Navy helo from San Diego, and some take an Arizona National Guard chopper from Flagstaff. They show up on the scene, which is now swarming with cops, firefighters and news media.

Several unusual things happen. Several connections. Good things.

There’s actually one more chapter at the end that is in the future a few months, when things have settled down after this, um, breakthrough takes place. It’s a better world. Lot’s of things have improved.

I: This “breakthrough event” as you call it, it’s, what is it exactly?

S: Well, it’s something in quantum physics, I guess, like a “unified field” of some kind. Or a layer of that. An underlying layer.

It’s kind of a mental or spiritual thing. And, a natural, something that’s part of Nature. Just natural. A layer of reality that’s more, well, I guess, spiritual I would say. Also more down to Earth.

And there’s a connection between Heaven and Earth too. That’s kind of part of it.

I: Okay. Well, we’ve covered a lot of ground here. What we’d like to do, Mr. Hammons, is call it a day on this. Colonel [REDACTED], Agent [REDACTED] and I will go over this information, discuss it, and bounce it off our bosses.

Are you still willing to meet with us again if we have some more questions, or some other developments come up?

S: Sure, I guess so. It’s interesting. I hope I haven’t described anything in the book that creates a problem.

I: No, I don’t think there are any problems with this. In fact, there are some very positive aspects to getting information like this out there, which you have mentioned yourself.

S: Right. I agree.

I: Okay then, let’s call it a day. It’s almost time for lunch. And we hope to meet with you again soon. Thanks a lot for your cooperation, Mr. Hammons. We really appreciate it.

S: Glad to do it.
