The General

Air Force Chief of Staff General Carter is shocked to hear that the KC-135 jet was positioned for a terrorist strike on the Rose Bowl. Even more incredible is F-16 gun camera footage confirming that before the plane could reach its target, it was forced down by a flying saucer. The General's search for answers lands him in a deadly power struggle with the malevolent Tony Davis, Director of the National Security Agency, and eventually with the President. When Carter uncovers the truth about the flying saucer and its pilots, former WW II fighter ace Joe Star, and Brian Nelson, he must relinquish his life-long denial of the reality of UFOs. Gone too is his rationale for ridiculing his son Josh's childhood UFO and ET contact stories, as well as for totally denying his own early encounters. The pace escalates rapidly when Davis, bent on obtaining the saucer and its technology from Carter for his own empire building, orders his secret militia to kidnap Carter's son Josh from a summer camp in the canyon lands of Utah. When that gambit fails to force Carter to divulge what he knows, Davis decides to have Carter killed. In the race to rescue his son, Carter calls on Joe Star and his saucer to assist him in the final battle with those responsible. The story concludes with a compelling confrontation in the Oval Office.
