     Mission Earth Volume 5: Fortune of Fear

The Countess Krak has arrived on Earth, and the planet-not to mention Atlantic City-will never be the same again. She is the most beautiful, the most deadly and certainly the most feared woman in the 110-planet Voltarian Empire. Her only equal is her lover, royal combat engineer Jettero Heller, whose mission is to keep Earth from destroying itself long enough to be invaded by the empire. Their mortal enemy is Soltan Gris, the Voltarian Apparatus killer sent to sabotage Heller's mission. The presence of Heller, Gris and the Countess Krak is enough to threaten the future of any planet, but the sudden arrival from Voltar of over $250 million in gold may be the death blow for Earth. FORTUNE OF FEAR blazes an explosive trail of action from the secret Apparatus base in Turkey across the Mediterranean, through Swiss banks into a Mafia-controlled casino, as two alien forces struggle to determine not only the fate of planet Earth but the control of the entire galactic empire as well.

    Alien Security: Domination

     Alien Security: Domination

This book is a continuation of my previous two “ALIEN SECURITY” books subtitled, “Beware” and “Freedom”. Those previous books revealed the hidden truth about the U.S. Government’s involvement with alien races and showed how malevolent alien beings could be eliminated from influencing humanity on Earth. This current book shows how reptilian forces in the Earth could completely dominate humanity.This book is a continuation of my previous two “ALIEN SECURITY” books subtitled, “Beware” and “Freedom”. Those previous books used fictional characters named Tom Evens, Stan Edwards and Linda Davis to reveal the hidden truth about the United States Government’s involvement with extraterrestrial races and showed how malevolent alien beings could be eliminated from influencing humanity on Earth. This current book shows how powerful reptilian forces within the Earth could completely dominate the surface of the planet and turn humanity into their slaves.In this new book, Tom Evens and Linda Davis settle down to live a comfortable life together in retirement. However, the Queen of Reptilian humanoid beings within vast cavern city complexes underground, becomes enraged about the attack on two of her soldiers and starts a global war with humanity. What happens after that is not pleasant for the reader to follow.My purpose for writing this book is to demonstrate what life could be like for humanity if it fails to become aware of the existence of other intelligent beings in the universe and does not determine how to interact with them. There are both, benevolent and malevolent alien beings here among us and it is hoped that this book will help humanity to handle the monumental challenges before us. The importance here is that humanity becomes informed and prepared for the days ahead. Good luck to us all.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
