Second Intelligence
Robert Wilder learns in 1960 that he’s been visited often since 1940 by a wise and compassionate alien, Kuro the Magnificent, who dates back to Shakespeare and occasionally quotes him. Robert has extraordinary instincts, or as Kuro calls them, a second intelligence.
Robert’s introduction to Kuro’s protégé, the beautiful Bel-Ledéra, coincides with his discovery of an impending attack by the monster ClayBak, a failed U.S. military experiment cast off as trash into outer space — and which is now hellbent on destroying Earth. Wilder and Bel-Ledéra throw themselves into Kuro’s preparations for the Impassioned Battle To Save The World.
Very little goes according to plan, however, when ClayBak reinvents itself as Lord of the Flies and soars to Earth with an armada of powerful weapons at his command.
The book cover for Second Intelligence suggests the author’s style of writing in broad strokes with a commendable use of humor when necessary. The novel is a soft science fiction of 91 short chapters and 61,500 words.

Second Intelligence was an unexpected mix of historical facts, politics, surreal romance, and maxims of wisdom. I've always wanted to dream such a fantasy of alien encounters and saving the Earth. I LOVED it!!!
