Panic grips the world, as a nuclear showdown in the Middle East threatens to engulf the world in an atomic fireball. Then suddenly, millions of people from all over the earth instantly vanish off the face of the planet and not even the world's best scientists can explain why, leaving many to speculate that the disappearances were the result of some new secret weapon fired in the growing tensions in the Middle East standoff. Soon however, the leaders of the world, via a special worldwide television broadcast, introduce the citizens of all nations to a powerful race of beings known as the Balazons.Valerie Saunderson, and her children Nick and Stephanie, watch the special telecast from their home but struggle with uncertainty about whether or not to trust the aliens, as the Balazons confess to having vaporized the millions of missing people, as well as admit responsibility for earlier attacks on her husband, Jeff, assaulted by the aliens on several occasions that day.Shocking words of revelation from Khur-ak, the alien leader, threaten to destabilize the world, as the aliens claim to have been invisibly influencing human development for millions of years and are the "gods" that humans have always worshipped. They bring a message of universal peace and prosperity, and communicate a desire to continue to aid mankind's forward evolution, but now openly and with full knowledge.The Balazons admit to making mistakes but claim that they acted with pure motives. They claim they will prove their sincerity if only the inhabitants of the earth will give them a chance.However, not all people welcome these beings. Some come to believe the aliens are more sinister, perhaps even the devil and his demons deceiving the world in the Biblically prophesied last days deception, and an apocalyptic battle ensues for the hearts and minds of the people, the outcome of which will determine the very definitions of the concepts of good and evil. Will, or even should, the world trust the Balazons? They've been watching us for millennia...now it's our turn to see them!
