Jordan Kingston and the Unknown:

Lon Hieftje

(Old Tree Press, Sept. 1, 2016)

What this world needs is some good old-fashioned “G” rated imagination. So with this in mind, I started writing. Are extraterrestrials spying on us? Did people see flying saucers? How about those crop circles? Have you ever thought there are aliens and flying saucers flying around making them? Or, are there just some pranksters out there having fun in the fields? What about Roswell, New Mexico? In July 1947, a craft crashed in the desert. The Roswell Army Airbase was involved in recovering the craft, and there were possibly, "bodies" reported? Okay. Now, truthfully, what do you think? Have you seen a UFO, or do you know of someone who swears they have seen one? Jordan Kingston, the main character along with his best friend (and cousin), Brayden, explore the possibilities that aliens visited earth thousands of years ago, and maybe even now. Jordan is a believer in "Alientology," a word coined to describe the study and belief in aliens and how they have impacted human civilization. Jordan's believes in the possibility that extraterrestrials did visit the Earth in ancient times giving knowledge and guidance to ancient civilizations, so as to advance their cultures. He is always thinking, “why were they here? where did they go? and what are they doing now?”
