The General

When Air Force Chief of Staff, General Jeremy Carter learns that a terrorist flying an USAF KC-135 jet tanker was forced to crash into Mt. Wilson near Pasadena on New Year's Day, 2002 by a flying saucer, he is thrust into a quest that threatens not only his own life but that of his son, his ex-wife, whom he still loves, and close friends as well. His search puts him in a deadly power struggle with Tony Davis, Director of the National Security Agency, and eventually with the President. When Carter uncovers the truth about saucer and its pilot, aging WW II fighter ace Joe Star, he must relinquish his life-long denial of the reality of UFOs. Gone too is his rationale for ridiculing his son Josh's childhood UFO and ET contact stories, as well as for totally denying his own early encounters with the ETs. In the race to rescue his kidnapped son, Carter calls on Joe Star and his saucer to assist him in the final battle with those responsible. The story concludes with a compelling confrontation in the Oval Office.
