  Introduction

  My science fiction story is directed at the young at heart, who relish experiencing excitement through imagination and wondrous marvels seen perhaps in dreams but alas, unattainable. The Omega Seed is written to illustrate reading is still vibrant and not a dying art, crushed by the onslaught of multimedia graphics/animations. I have endeavored to tell a tale in the finest tradition of our legendary fabulist: believable, technically sound, making the reader feel these events could jump out of tomorrow's newspaper, smack them in the face and alter their lives. Intertwined, it is a drama/love story within an alien invasion.

  Journey with me, read my words, find the messages between the lines, pretend you are there and ultimately wish you were.

  Dedication and acknowledgement

  "I think I can do this."

  "You can do anything you want," she agreed.

  This book is dedicated to Joyce, my wife and soul mate who has loved and supported me in all my endeavors.

  This is what she does.

  We shall share this victory together.

  And... a special thanks to my friend, Gary Chapman for his proof reading and insight.

  Prologue

  For thousands of years mankind has recorded intrusions of unidentified flying objects into our world. From the cave man's primitive wall drawings to today's sophisticated high speed cameras and telescopes, sightings have persisted - increasingly so it seems. While the truth remains hidden out there in deep space, age-old, haunting questions continue in burn in hearts and minds of people here on Earth. Does intelligent life exist outside our small, violent sphere? If so, will these elusive beings ever intentionally expose themselves? And, when that fate-full day comes, what will be their motive?

  In the last forty years modern medicine has proven humans will never be capable of traveling to the distant stars. Why even the closest is many thousands of light years away in our own Milky Way Galaxy! Perhaps someday we'll take a jaunt around the neighborhood to Venus or Mars, no big deal - they're in our celestial backyard. Even this short hop will require regenerative life support and propulsion systems far beyond our current technology. The stars, where other earth-class oxygen/nitrogen plants await are unattainable in our present life form. Mankind's longevity and biological functions make the venture a physical impossibility. A deep-seated change would be necessary. An evolution to a higher level? Or, perhaps a step back in time.

  Genesis 6:4

  The Nephilim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that... they were the mighty ones, who were of old, the men of frame.
