What happens when you have seen something you weren't supposed to see? What happens when what you have seen will change the face of the Earth forever? What will the governments of the world do to keep things stable and quiet while everything you ever knew is about to change? Who will be saved? Who will be sacrificed? And to what lengths will they go to secure your silence?The first book in The Rain Trilogy - Storm Cloud Rising probes those thorny problems and provides some possible answers to the questions. The answers you will not like, but they are answers that have a firm foothold in logic and rational thinking. The world's governments have done much worse in the past over smaller issues than what are presented in STORM CLOUD RISING. The results have always been tragic travesties against innocent human beings caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time.Come, take a trip down a one-way street to disaster, death and total destruction. Look deeply into the dark, violently boiling gray of a storm cloud rising as the curtain begins to descend on humanity and ask yourself, "Would I be able to survive?" Well, would you? Give it some serious thought.
