No Second Chance David A. Simpson

When space combat hero Captain Mureke receives from his beautiful wife, Anastasia, a strange gift - an Atallian, a creature he wraps around his wrist - he little knows it is going to save his life. Sent on a mission to warn Earth of an impending disaster, Mureke bursts into the White House to alert the president. The leader's cowardly and arrogant reaction sends Mureke - quite literally - to Hell and back, and pitches humanity to the brink of chaos. In this dramatic, merciless exposure of hypocrisy and hubris, the author pulls no punches. Weaving together myths of Atlantis, Christianity and evolutionary theory, he points to religious bigotry as the prime source of human ills. Acknowledging the continuing conflict of good and evil, he gives us a glimpse of the form their final combat will take. Detailed, engaging and at times disturbingly beautiful, this clarion call for secularity will provoke as it convinces.
