The Kahn Prophesies

Planet Earth is a dangerous place. just ask the dinosaurs, and any of the thirty billion species that have become extinct since the dawn of time, if you can find one. could it happen to us, the most advanced beings that have ever existed?

It sure could, and it is overdue. asteroids collide with earth on a daily basis, most are too small to matter, but every now and then, a sizeable one arrives, creates a stir for a while, and is forgotten. it is only a matter of time before a monster arrives and creates havoc on an epic scale.

The Kahn Prophesies is a detailed and fascinating story of survival woven around such an event, and offers a fictional explanation of how it could happen, and how the human race might be saved from joining the dinosaurs in extinction.

Thanks to the Prophesies given to him by a mysterious college friend, astronomer Jock Smith discovers an asteroid the size of Mount Everest on target to hit Casablanca. he tells only the US President, who commandeers the mars voyager, a massive space craft under construction under the supervision of Buzz Aldrin. He also chooses a select band of 200 people from all nations to escape the holocaust and they take off to find a new planet where they can live and save the human race.

Jock's son Iqbal, a strangely gifted boy, becomes a hero on the voyage, his talents a source of wonderment to both himself and his father. The president's daughter Chastity also becomes a force in the world of the 200 survivors, determined not to repeat what she sees as the mistakes made back on earth by her father and others.

Strange things happen on their way to where the Prophesies said they would find their new home, and they are dragged off course into the mysterious Kuiper Belt, a remote and unexplored region of space. soon they discover that they are victims of a force far greater than anything the human race has ever encountered, a force that not only delivered the asteroid, but also took them to their new home. The reason it went to all the trouble is astounding.

This is a thoroughly entertaining story woven around a solid base of amazing facts. It is suitable for readers of all ages.
