  Book One

  Daughter of the Sky People

  In the first Nazarene book, ‘Daughter of the Sky People’, Professor Maria Espinoza was a DNA Profile Specialist at the University of Rio de Janeiro. After the mysterious death of her infant daughter, and to get away from a bad marriage, she convinced the university to finance a study of Amazon tribal DNA. She would establish which tribe was related to who and their place of origin. One day a runner, one of the many local men she had hired to bring back DNA samples from the distant tribes returned with a mysterious little white girl he had kidnapped from a distant tribe.

  Through Maria’s ability to identify DNA, she discovered that the girl was not human but rather alien. When a secret organization called BASIC, Brazilian Army Secret Intelligence Command discovered the existence of the alien girl, they sent their best agent, Captain Santo Martinez to Maria’s laboratory to recover the alien girl. They wanted to dissect and discover the source of her amazing extraordinary abilities.

  Learning of the BASIC kidnap attempt, determined to return the lost girl to her own kind, Maria ran deep into the jungle with her. Captain Martinez gave chase. After difficult months in the jungle trying to evade capture by the Captain and unfriendly tribes, finally the girl that Maria had named Belle was returned to her strange tribe of Sky People. With the quest over, Maria realized that she was stuck in the middle of the Amazon jungle with no way of getting back. In their mutual struggle to return home, Maria and Santo finally learned to tolerate and trust each other.

  Book Two

  The Garden of Man

  Maria, now working as a scientist for BASIC, it did not take long for her to fall in love with Santo. Painfully, at least for her, it was unrequited love. Santo liked and considered her a friend and partner but he was married, although unhappily. One day, an unusual Japanese woman was captured and brought to BASIC for study. She possessed an exceptional ability to draw maps and soon Maria realized they were accurate maps of another world.

  By her knowledge of DNA, Maria confirmed that the woman was human but from a far distant past in Earth history. She learned that woman had lived for many years on another planet and returned to Earth when she was too old to bear children for that alien race. Maria discovered there was a depository of such humans hidden somewhere on the planet that the Japanese woman referred to as The Garden of Man. When the Captain and Maria set out to locate this Garden on Earth, they discovered many alien secrets and locations including a warp tunnel in Australia that within only a few steps, led to different places on Earth.

  In the course of their quest to locate the Garden of Man, they were introduced to a powerful ally, Duchess Josephine de Mayer-David who was head of a powerful secret organization, the House of the Nazarene and enemy of BASIC.

  When Santo’s wife and twin daughters left him, Maria finally moved into his Villa and bed.

  Book Three

  An Angel in the Shadows

  After a year of sharing Santo’s bed, he had suddenly disappeared leaving her heartbroken and confused. Maria’s only logical conclusion was that he was dead, killed in one of his many secret missions. Despondent and alone, she accepted a Professorship at the University of Rio de Janeiro teaching DNA profiling. After working for BASIC and learning unimaginable secrets, plus her adventurous missions for the House of the Nazarene, with classroom walls slowly squeezing in on her, Maria craved adventure and open sky.

  It all changed when three young people came to the university asking her to secretly identify the DNA in a mummified bone. After learning that the three mysterious people were from the Vatican and discovering that the bone was alien, the House of the Nazarene asked her to infiltrate the Holy Grounds and bring the truth to the world, that the Vatican knew about and had harbored aliens for hundreds of years.

  Although wanting to bring excitement back into her life, she explained to the House leader, Josephine de Meyer-David that she could not do it alone. It was then, through the conniving of the House that she was finally re-united with the love of her life, Captain Santo Martinez.

  After being smuggled into the Vatican, Santo and Maria discovered many secrets that the Protectors of the Faith would kill to keep secret. The greatest secret of all was the discovery of a live alien kept prisoner in a deserted castle on the holy grounds. During their escape through Italy with proof of the damaging secret, Maria discovered lies and treachery. It was then that an enemy became a friend and a friend turned out to be the enemy. Although still working for the House of the Nazarene, it was now with a new leader, Gustav Magnus Laurent.

  Book 4

  The Alien code

  In the continuing chronicle of ‘The House of the Nazarene’, Maria Espinoza is an expert in identifying alien DNA codes mysteriously hidden in the upper spirals of human DNA. She had been asked by Gustav Magnus Laurent, the new leader of the House of the Nazarene to discover the secrets written into his code and determine his true heritage.

  While digging into the mystery of alien codes she discovered a key that opens a portal to the world of the enigmatic Sky People who were the aliens responsible for the Inca Empire. It is while in that world she uncovered the amazing truth of Gustav’s heritage and what the alien DNA code hidden i
n human genetics was doing to the original creation.

  The Black Coats, an ancient cult and enemy of both the Vatican and the House of the Nazarene go to murderous ends to acquire the key to the Sky People’s world. Their religious fervor reasons that the key Maria discovered is actually the key to the realm of the evil underworld, a devil’s domain that must be destroyed at all cost.

  Murder and strange allies follow Maria in her determination to discover the truth of mankind’s origin.

  Book Five

  The Second Creation

  Marie is now Head DNA Profile Scientist for the House of the Nazarene, specializing in the identification of alien DNA. She lives on an island in the Aegean Sea with Santo. Santo is now Second-in-Command of the House of the Nazarene.

  As predicted by a friendly alien source, Maria became pregnant and gave birth to a girl. She named her Belle, after the little alien girl she and Santo had reunited with her own kind in the Brazilian jungle, the Sky People.

  Through events, one day a strange man named Aaron, was brought to the House of the Nazarene for study. Maria soon discovered an anomaly in his DNA. He is human but the DNA spirals are strangely pure and advanced. Where 90% of human DNA is non-functional or storage DNA, his spirals are just the opposite, having somehow evolved to function at 90%. With the help of another great and secret worldly power, the House of the Second Creation, Santo and Maria learn that after Noah’s Flood, when God destroyed the first creation, all the relatives of Adam and Eve, there was a second creation, Aaron and his people.

  It was then that the dark side of the Vatican became apparent. Protectors of the Faith brought in assassins to kill what they do not want the world to know, that there was a second creation after Noah’s flood. A deranged and physically deformed multi-billionaire learned of this perfect human and would stop at nothing to obtain Aaron’s perfect T-cells to make himself whole again.

  Dodging Vatican assassins who want Aaron and his whole community dead, plus the billionaire’s efforts to capture him alive, Santo and Maria finally managed to safely return the Second Creation to his people’s secret location.

  Book Six

  The Sentinel Satellite

  Because Santo and Maria are to attend a conference in Christ Church New Zealand, Belle, their five year old daughter was to stay with her adopted grandparents, both alien Sky People in a secret location of the Amazon jungle. When it was time to return to the House of the Nazarene, Santo and Maria arrived just in time to see the island bombarded and destroyed by alien technology, the Sentinel Satellite. With the island wiped off the map and half the scientists dead, Santo moved the survivors to a secret location in the Highlands of Nepal.

  It now becomes a race to discover how the House of the Nazarene was destroyed and who had the advanced technology to re-program the Sentinel Satellite. The second target was to be the Vatican. For the first time in their long combative history, what was left of the House of the Nazarene and the Vatican now joined forces to stop the deadly Sentinel Satellite from blowing up the Vatican. Who was responsible for the annihilation of the House of the Nazarene sent shock and disbelief through the House.

  Now safe from the alien attack, and the traitor to the House captured, the remnants of the once powerful House looked for another secret location for a base of operations. With the help of a king from an ancient empire that the House once helped re-build, the survivors of the House of the Nazarene now operate out of a secluded estate in Bulgaria.

  Book seven

  Earth Before Man

  Synopsis

  What Professor Bartow Asker discovered in Turkey on a knoll in a field referred to by the locals as the Field of the Black Spirits eventually led the House of the Nazarene investigating an ancient cave filled with alien technology.

  Professor Maria Espinoza, as the new leader of the House of the Nazarene was hopeful that her much needed alien DNA samples could be recovered from the alien equipment and spacecraft found in the cave. However, the discovery of an alien plot to assimilate all of humanity soon exposed the true deadly extent that the aliens would go to guarantee their Passive Genetic Re-colonization of Earth. With the reluctant help of the Great Grays and secret societies here on Earth, Maria set her sights on eradicating what aliens had done to human genetics.

  Chapter 1

  The Stone

  On top of an isolated knoll in Turkey, Professor Bartow Asker stood absently looking out into the distant rolling hills. It was a serene view capable of melting away anxiety. For numerous reasons it was not working for him today. He could just about feel the binoculars pressing hard into his back. A soft breeze fluttered his long black hair and wafted an aroma of wild flowers dotting the barren landscape. In the picturesque valley far below was a large shimmering mountain lake.

  He was not admiring the view or reveling in the aromatic mountain breeze but rather was deep in thought. He was perplexed and did not know what to do. After a long while of weighing options, he finally turned around and saw his camp in the distance. As calm as he tried to look, his head was reeling with options. He cautiously raised his eyes and pretended not to see the two Turkish Antiquities Police officers behind a knoll past the camp keeping a close eye on him through binoculars.

  In the Professor’s forty years of archeology specializing in ancient Turkish antiquities, he had never found anything as puzzling as what was hidden in the large mountain shrub only a few feet in front of him. He knew that it was unworldly. As casually as possible, he started slowly walking toward his camp. Although his eyes were blank, his mind was whirling with activity. How could he investigate the discovery without arousing the suspicion of the Antiquities Police?

  He understood their purpose was to protect all historical and ancient archeology discoveries. He knew that for century’s grave robbers and thieves had stolen and sold valuable Turkish historical artifacts to foreign museums and private collectors. The police were only trying to preserve their precious history. Though Professor Asker was a noted and respected antiquities lecturer, he understood that this astounding discovery had to be kept secret, at least for a little while before being entered into acceptable historical archives.

  Keeping it secret was a major problem but there was still another dilemma to be reconciled. How was he going to convince the Antiquities Police that he had not discovered anything important today? How could he make them think that he had spent another useless and tiring day exploring another rolling hill looking for historic and important antiquity? While still pretending to have interest only for his camp, a solution slowly came to him. His plan was feeble with little hope of success but with all this pressure, it was all he could come up with.

  This late in the day, he was betting that the two antiquities police officers were just as tired as he was and wanted nothing more than to get back to the village and pour vodka down dry throats. He calmly bent down and picked up a small rock. After pretending to inspect it, he turned and in a pretended fit of anger threw it as far away as he could. Then, with brave steps, he casually walked past the mountain shrub concealing the anomaly. Although he dearly wanted to look at it just to confirm the impossibility of what was there, he nevertheless forced his eyes straight ahead. He understood that if they discovered what he had chanced upon, his permits would be evoked and there would never be an opportunity to investigate it. This discovery had to be for appropriate eyes only.

  Continuing past the shrub, a short distance later he was at his camp. Looking only at his equipment, he started packing. While taking down the tent he covertly brought out his GPS and made a note of the location. With all his gear crammed into the backpack, he turned and tried his best to fake walking away in frustration. When he reached a far knoll, he took a chance and calmly looked back at the abandoned campsite. He was hoping they would follow him but to his dismay, they ventured over to his abandoned camp.

  After finding nothing of interest, they walked dangerously close to the shrub. He held his breath and only started breathing again
when they continued past the hidden mystery to the spot that he stood looking down at the lake in the valley. After pointing and saying something, they turned and walked away. To Professor Bartow Asker’s great relief, they crossed the bluff and started following him. After a slight smirk, he too turned and continued his journey off the mountain and back to the village of Alakati.

  The Turkish mountain village was an eclectic gathering of huts, and an array of bright colored stone houses. At any given time there were more sheep and goats than local villagers casually meandering through the narrow dirt streets. The smell of dung hung heavy in the breeze, as did the odor of cooking from the indoor fireplaces.

  As usual, whenever the Professor returned from a day of exploring, looking for proof of ancient civilizations, a herd of local children gathered round him hoping to catch the single Euro he always cast to the wind for them. His return to the village seemed to be a highlight of activity for the kids. As their attention was to the coin flipping through the air, none noticed the great look of concern about him.
