Joshua's Atlas

More about the book

Joshua's Atlas follows a traveling businessman who invents machinery that allows his car to fly, necessitating complete anonymity to avoid government seizure. Complications arise when citizens mistakenly believe his actions are due to extraterrestrial intervention. His situation becomes more precarious when benevolent aliens enlist his help to safeguard Earth's future, a reality unknown to humanity. The most important person in his life, Annie Phillips, remains unaware of his secret until her accidental discovery puts him at risk of exposure. Ironically, his greatest threats come not from the aliens but from the very people he aims to protect, whose potential to reveal his secret could undermine his mission. Additionally, he faces a formidable human adversary in U.S. Air Force Colonel Milton P. Morrison, who, despite being human, is also working to preserve Earth's future, placing them at odds. The narrative draws parallels to the Superman legend but remains grounded in reality, offering style, maturity, and imaginative encouragement for today's youth.
