EYES ONLY – Readers intrigued by stories of government conspiracies and the opportunity of opening their eyes to the true reasons behind publicly know historical events. (MJ-CIA195?PH/topsecret)
An old, gray aluminum box is found stashed away on the back of a shelf in a deceased man’s basement. The man’s nephew recalls a story that his uncle told him as a small child that he thinks somehow is connected with the mysterious box. A story of how he obtained a piece of a spaceship back in the 1970s.
The nephew attempts to contact the “Folsom Street Avenger” to help him identify the box and possibly spread the word to the American public if there is evidence of governmental corruption or a conspiracy. But the Avenger (Jack Arthur) has hung up his podcast microphone and passed his business of creating and distributing information to the American public to “The Scorpion” (Bruce Herdino).
Arthur, himself a retired but experienced member of a secret arm of the National Security Agency, is worried that handing Herdino a mission to unearth government secrets connected with the gray box is over his head. Herdino has never received any training as an NSA agent, but has been doing a great job creating and distributing podcasts in Arthur’s footsteps. So, Arthur asks Special Agent Monica Deverow to head up the investigation and let Herdino tag along.
Deverow and Herdino follow a trail of clues that starts with the old gray box and then leads them in a winding pursuit of the truth that involves Apollo 11, Project Horizon, President Eisenhower, xxxxxxxxxxx, the Cuban Missile Crisis, xxxxxxxxx, Operation Paperclip, xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and the Majestic-12.
This eye-opening story will change the way that you look into the sky each night and gaze at the Moon. And will impart in you the realization that what you are looking at is actually a vital part of United States National Security.

“Evil doesn’t have a problem finding the middle of nowhere.”
Earth is ravaged by a Vermiculira epidemic which threatens every human life on the planet. The only way to save humanity and propagate the species is to restart civilization someplace else. That someplace else is Mars. The plan is to relocate humans that have not been contaminated by the disease to the red planet and leave the crazies back on Earth. To ensure that no infected are allowed to reach Mars, a network of decontamination depots has been placed in space, half way between the two planets. Passengers and cargo are sniffed for traces of the disease before they are allowed to proceed on their journey.
Charlie and Linda Kennedy live a quiet life on Decontamination Depot, D.D. 315. Charlie operates the spacecraft refueling station, and the hydrogen fuel condenser facility, while Linda’s role is to lovingly provide her guests with a friendly smile, a couple good meals and then get them on their way.
But, their peaceful existence is terminated when people onboard are savagely murdered. Charlie needs to stop the carnage and vows to protect Linda, his loving wife. To make matters worse, the killer has programmed the depot to self-destruct unless Charlie can figure out some way to stop it.
“Honorable intentions can lead to horrifying consequences.”
