Although the story requires an overview of an alien influence over mankind, the story focuses on selected Indian Shaman's struggle to cope with bizarre powers, antagonistic government agencies and the search for the reason they have been given such awesome powers.
Of all the life forms the Aliens had encountered since abandoning their homes planet, man was the most complex. During the years of exploring the universe, they found Earth in the Milky Way. The Aliens made a startling discovery, mankind had unusual genetic codes. These codes were implanted with bio-chemical time locks that would eventually allow mankind to develop unknown powers. They believed these powers were far beyond those they possessed.
Of all the life forms the Aliens had encountered since abandoning their homes planet, man was the most complex. During the years of exploring the universe, they found Earth in the Milky Way. The Aliens made a startling discovery, mankind had unusual genetic codes. These codes were implanted with bio-chemical time locks that would eventually allow mankind to develop unknown powers. They believed these powers were far beyond those they possessed.
They experimented with the removal of these locks in order to determine their purpose. It didn't take long before they realized that, psychologically, man was not ready for such powers or the responsibility of controlling them. After years of screening Indians, the Alien selected young Shaman Indians, and slowly developed key to unlock the codes. During the Twentieth Century, the Aliens believed an earthman would achieve his or her own full potential. The selected Shaman, realizing these powers were beyond their understanding, began the search for answers.
In the mid-Nineteenth Century, the U. S. Government became aware if powers allegedly possessed by some Lakota Shamans.
Thus began the Quest by the Indians, government Agencies and the Aliens. Each for their own reasons. These quests took proponents from a secret cave in North America to one in Central America and on to the mountains of Peru. In a valley, hidden foe centuries from prying eyes, they each unraveled thepurpose of their quests. Some succeeded, some failed. Those that succeeded were, well, lets leave that to the reader's imagination. Those that failed, on the other hand, would never forget the lessons learned the hard way.
