A Fantasy/Sci-Fi novel about Chris Gates, who was chosen by 'those who've watched over us,' to lead us from doom - set on present day Earth.
You are about to read about places and events where everything known about fantasy and science fiction has collided, creating a whole new reality …
… where there is life throughout the universe … and on our Moon.
They are hidden from view, observing, protecting, and influencing us. Those who have watched over us have raised one of ours, as one of theirs. He lives amongst us. Formidable is an understatement. He will lead us from the path of destruction and teach us how to fight those that hunt us.
They have created our Savior and he will unify us.
You’ve heard of him. You might even know him. He was carefully selected for this. His name is Chris Gates and he is the Savior Project. But soon they will be coming for him.
Now there is a book that explains how it all began and was kept a secret for 50 years. The first book from the Savior Project series, The Chosen One, charts the covertly trained life of Chris Gates from his birth in 1966 to 2012. From childhood to baseball star to U.S. senator, his life unfolds on Earth as it is guided, shaped, and rescued by ‘those who have watched over us.’
Excerpt
Chris snapped out of his daze and bent down to pick up his glove. The buzzing was at a deafening level. The bright light from above had the park lit up like daytime. As Chris stood up, an even brighter cylinder of directed light came down and totally surrounded him making it appear like he was in a cloudy glass tube. A loud humming noise resonated inside the tube. Chris reached out and touched the wall of light that encased him. It felt wet. Trying to push his finger further into the unknown material met with resistance and a stinging sensation. He quickly pulled his finger out and looked up for the source of the beam. He tried to shield his eyes with his hand. With the light making it too bright to see anything, he diverted his eyes toward the bleachers, frantically searching for Lisa. He saw the terrified expression on her face as she shielded the children behind her. Her eyes were locked on his, but he kept losing sight of her through the swirling clouds of white vapor.
He watched as Cory and Ian reached her at the same time.
What’s going on? His mind was full of jumbled thoughts. What is happening to me?
Memories screamed into his head as he racked his brain for answers. I’ve heard a similar sound before, but when was it? A memory flashed of a black bug staring at him. Then he saw a blurred image of what looked like a girl with bright white hair. She was speaking to him, saying something about coming for him. As he tried in vain to recall more detail, his thoughts were interrupted when the ground shifted under him. Chris watched as something moved below his cleats. Then he felt himself being lifted up.
