The Black River flows from Missouri into Arkansas east of Branson and west of the Bootheel. It meanders where the foothills of the Ozarks begin to rise out of the Mississippi plain. The area was sparsely populated when E. R. Coleman was a young man. Like the population they served, businesses were modest, mostly small, and scattered. Arkansas was still the Bear State; slogans boasting that it was―or predicting that it would become―the “Land of Opportunity” were yet to be conceived. Coleman’s early years were shaped by the Great Depression, by a family ethic that dictated working as long as there was sunlight in the day, and by a region bordered on the west by Oklahoma’s Dust Bowl and on the east by the mighty―sometimes vengeful―Mississippi River. Told in his own words, this is a genuine American Horatio Alger story of hardscrabble beginnings, working longer and harder than today’s youth might be able to imagine, and plain dealing from cotton fields to board rooms.

Have you ever had the feeling that you didn’t belong?Mark thinks that the planet with the four suns is Earth – but he is not sure. Brighton seems to be as he remembers it – but not quite. His everyday life seems OK though. There is the Mother and the Father, and he goes to school with his friends Martin and Phil and they seem to think that everything is all right!But when he first wakes up and his mind is clear, Mark knows that it isn’t. For one thing, there’s Monk. Monk is his toy monkey. Old and brown and shabby. The only thing in this whole world that is not bright and gleaming-new. Once, Monk must have been new. Once he must have had silky fur and two eyes. Perhaps yesterday? But what is yesterday? And why does it disappear as soon as he swallows the pill the Mother brings in with his orange juice? Is it the pill that makes everything all right? Makes everything as it should be? Home. School. Picture show. Football … Until the morning when he accidentally drops the pill! And then things really get confusing! Luckily, he meets Col. Col is a Watcher. Not the easiest person to get along with. But at least he explains about A-os … and the Osmids … and how Mark is just the other half of a Changeling program … part of an Osmid experiment to help them take over first the Earth – and then the Universe!So Mark decides that he has to get back home. To warn his own people.But first, he has to get rid of The Osmid Version.

The Osmids are a very advanced species; their brains are so developed that they have outgrown the need of anything physical. So they have no bodies, and A-os has nothing permanent on it – only sand. But, on A-os ‘You see what you expect to see’ and the Osmids can materialize anything they need – or want. And what they want is power. They want to take over the Universe and they are starting with Planet Earth because Mankind is the least developed species and they think it will be an easy task. Their plan is to infiltrate THE EARTH MIND and to do this they have first to find ways of understanding humans.The Osmids are still trying to understand Mankind through the minds of children, and this time they target many. Specifically, those of a creative and sensitive nature. They make a TV program to choose them, and then hold a phony competition where the prize is a Q STONE that ‘brain washes’ those chosen into being more aware of life on Earth. Their plan is to bring those children to A-os and use the information to build a SUPER BRAIN that will replicate the human brain and lead them into the EARTH MIND. But of course, the Osmids actually have no idea of what makes us ‘human’. Love, concern, loyalty, jealousy, hate, humor and absurdity have no place in their world – so they don’t understand any of the more subtle forms of human relationships. They can only think logically. To an Osmid, things either are – or they’re not. No gray areas.They certainly don’t understand twins and the bond that exists between them!They choose Becky – but, because of that bond, her sister, Kelly, who was not chosen, also shares the experience. And when Becky disappears, it is that same bond (and Becky’s forgotten Q Stone) that leads Kelly to her. The chosen children are being ‘acclimatized’ in an ice prison, but neither ice nor Osmids can withstand the power of a pair of reunited twins.
