Second Chance

About the Book

Two American astronauts on a hiking holiday in the Rocky Mountains. They see a UFO and watch it appear to land in a thickly wooded valley about two days’ walk from them. They decide to try and find out as much about the landing as they can. After a couple of days trekking through the terrain, they eventually find the craft in the middle of a wooded valley and manage to gain access to it. They explore the craft and find that its crew are dead; they take over the craft for themselves and set about using its technology to set up an organisation on Earth, which they hope will unite the governments of the world and put mankind on a path to the stars and what happens when they leave Earth for the stars.
