Book Description
When the nations of the world learns of its possible demise, how will they react and what must be done to preserve life on our planet. A Norwegian marine scientist named Jens at the Kristiansund Institute, Norway, many years ago had made a breakthrough in communications with a dolphin named Kong that has never been revealed to other researchers or to the general public. Because of the need to keep this breakthrough secret and a growing military threat to the free world primarily from Russia and China, Jens decides to share his research with NATO and the US Navy. This is when Jens first learns from Kong that aliens have been visiting the earth for thousands of years and during part of this this period have made contacts with dolphins, but not with humans. Now, for the first time, the aliens want to make contact with humans to warn them of an impending disaster to our planet. One of the aliens named Jargon initially meets Jens, who arranges for him to speak to the world at the UN, where we learn what the threat to our planets survival is and how it can be avoided.

Alien scientists create a new human race—and keep them as sheltered pets: “It’s time to discover Donald Moffitt” (Greg Bear). After intercepting a message from Earth, Nar scientists have learned the secret of human life. The alien species understands everything about human technology and culture and uses this knowledge to build on each breakthrough until it succeeds in re-creating humans. Now they encourage their “pets” to evolve within the alien community and learn the mysteries of the galaxy, but prohibit any knowledge of the planet Earth itself. Bram has always dreamed of traveling to the forbidden planet. Although Earth is millions of miles away, the bioengineer is determined to discover the truth about his species and the land that has been kept a secret his whole life. Bram must discover a way to unveil the truth and see the homeland he has been denied.
