Two alien space crafts are heading for Earth at half the speed of light. One is enormous and its alien Viking-like crew is intent on harvesting all Earth's resources, including its metal core and the other is a small cloaked craft secretly following and monitoring the first craft. It is an intergalactic warning device but its attempts to communicate with Earth scientists at SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Manchester, UK fail completely. They hear only gobbledygook until they are helped by Jack, a five-year-old boy, and Amanda, an eight-year-old girl, both with Ricksted Syndrome. This is the start of the story and it involves two paediatricians who are researching this rare syndrome that causes delay in human speech but an enhanced ability to understand non-human communication. Other characters include the UK prime minister, Samuel Rozzen and the loud-mouthed USA president Howard Acton, who can’t stand each other. Luckily for Howard Acton, he has a highly gifted side kick, his aide Jack Lewis and Steve Steinburg the chief scientist at SETI California who work together to prevent Acton from making too many mistakes. That is, until, as the alien invasion proceeds, Acton is dragged off and abducted by the aliens! Acton is not the only victim of the early stage of the alien invasion as the aliens send harvesting crafts to satisfy their voracious appetite for animal and human flesh to feed their self-replicating hub. What happens to President Howard Acton? Can Jack and Amanda working with the SETI scientists to communicate with the intergalactic warning device and learn how to defeat the aliens? and what happens to Howard Acton on the alien space craft? There are some good laughs in this story and you will learn a little about modern science.

I am married with four children and seven grandchildren. I grew up in South London but left home to study medicine in Liverpool aged 18 years. After 42 years as an English GP, I retired in 2015 which gave me the opportunity to concentrate on writing and I have written four books. Two books are about Nutritional Medicine which I have studied and researched over the years and two are works of fiction. Over a lifetime of practicing medicine and doing bits of research along the way, I have learned that the the standard way of formulating and testing theories is far from perfect and there are circumstances that make it difficult or impossible to test a theory. Many of my works of fiction, therefore, start off as a thought experiment, though the characters do tend to take on a life of their own. For more on my research and writing, check out my web site: https://drjaan.wixsite/nutrimed
