Alien Jesus: the Ruse, volume 2 of the True-Life series, is a continuation of the story of the life, death, resurrection, and subsequent appearances and interactions of Sahn-Jesus. Volume one, Alien Jesus: It Begins (a graphic novel), Sahn enters the human race as Jesus, a son born of Mary in the Mid-east town of Bethlehem and raised by Mary and Joseph, the adoptive father, in Nazareth. Book one closes with the death of Jesus on the cross. Book two picks up with his resurrection (still as Jesus), thus completing Phase 2 of his mission and beginning Phase 3-the long road to humanity's ascendance. Jesus-Sahn lived out a life to fulfill the role of the much anticipated Messiah who was expected to restore Israel as a nation. However, Jesus wove into the Messiah role a modified reenactment of ancient god-sacrifice mythology with a goal of ultimately saving all humanity. This second volume, an illustrated novella, picks up after his crucifixion, death, and burial. A resurrected Jesus continues to make appearances and encourage the spread of the god-sacrifice story and its life-changing significance for individuals. Sahn's overarching plan for Terran ascension is spelled out herein (volume two). The forward movement of the primary story is supplemented with vignettes of other, past encounters with humanity and alien worlds by Sahn and friends.
Sahn comes to us from an advanced civilization of super-sentients. They call their species Ahnjel and have been studying our galaxy for hundreds of thousands of years. Ahnjels are located on planet Gahd in the far distant galaxy Hehvin. The ahnjelic Sentience Exploration Group (SEG), while diligently searching the universe, discovered within our galaxy a host of life-producing solar systems and planets which deserved closer scrutiny. Terra seemed a likely candidate after primates emerged.
The SEG's goal is to identify emerging sentience in living worlds then shepherd candidate species for development and guidance through the treacherous evolutionary processes leading to transcendence and eventual membership in the Cosmic Federation. Once a sentient world is identified, the SEG sends a team to periodically visit and gently interject True-Life notions, i.e., hospitality, care for others, selfless living, and mercy-which lead to the most wholesome and fulfilled sentient life, and have proved to be key ingredients for species longevity barring any cataclysmic celestial event. This message is in direct opposition to the life-style summarized by the expressions looking out for number one and survival of the fittest.
The SEG chose Sahn to lead the Terra project. Has Sahn taken things too far?
