A mysterious space energy burst disables the "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence" (SETI) observatory in Hat Creek, California, on March 24th, 2025. The Vatican's advanced telescope known as "VATT" at Mt Graham in Arizona witnesses the energy burst. After power was restored, they found a binary message in the beam, leading them to send a second message to CERN in Switzerland.Marcus Jansen, a young astrophysicist working at the Mt Graham site, can determine the beam's origin and track it through the galaxy. The beam originated from a constellation that Marcus had been explicitly instructed to observe that night. Once they could interpret the binary code emitted by the beam, they gained access to instructions for the next transmission. Bone-chilling information: Earth was on the brink of impending contact with an alien life form.Wendy Väst, a young, unknown news reporter only known in small circles for her paranormal segment on a Tucson TV channel owned by Silas Fischer, would deliver the message. The broadcast catapults Wendy Väst into the realm of media fame. Within hours of the broadcast, the skies are filled with the deafening roar of fighter jets and the sea churns with the wakes of warships. China suddenly attacks Taiwan, and North Korea's army spills across the 38th Parallel into South Korea, thrusting the United States into a colossal Asian conflict between two formidable foes.Wendy Väst and Marcus Jansen soon find themselves working with personnel from Weston Aerospace. The people they meet, including their employer, seem mysterious but are devout Christians. According to their viewpoint, the uncoded message was not the work of aliens but a communication orchestrated by fallen angels. Both settle into their assignments, working with the people from Weston Aerospace. As the moment of the message comes, the world witnesses not another message but an arrival. The Nordic-looking Pleiadean visitors arrive with promises of enhancement to galactic humans and transcendence into the galactic family. Wendy and Marcus both perceive the Pleiadeans' tendency to deviate from their self-imposed boundaries. Eventually, Wendy and Marcus confront the horrifying truth about what these beings truly symbolize, leading them to wonder. Can humanity be saved?

The Shadow Chasers face a life-and-death struggle with new kinds of entities. Just when they make some headway in comprehending what they are, their new enemy abducts local animals and even people. What will the Shadow Chasers do? Will they form an alliance to battle these entities? Or will this be enough to scare them away for good? Will the Shadow Chasers remain a loyal team and continue to unravel mysteries? Logan, Allie, Finn, and Bret were not even sure if they'd ever form as the Shadow Chasers again. Talihina seemed safe from any paranormal threats. Then, just a few days before New Year's Eve, they were suddenly confronted with different creatures, ones they did not understand. Compared to the Sasquatch they had encountered in September made that seem benevolent. The creatures they were encountering now had no interest in the well-being of the citizens of Talihina.The Shadow Chasers were enjoying their two-week holiday break from Talihina Jr. High School. They were even making some money on the side by installing Christmas lights on homes in Talihina. Things had been quiet for them since their adventure back in September, where a Choctaw elder had aided them in leading a lost Sasquatch to its home, to the Kiamichi Mountains to the south. The elder had warned the youths to steer clear of the forest and mountains during the autumn months. Something did, in fact, occur in October and early November. Nobody was talking about what exactly the threat was. By mid-November, things had quieted down, and Talihina was back to its normal pace as people did all they could to enjoy their holidays.Until now....

Samuel Redstone enjoyed a quiet life as the chief of police of a small town in Southeastern Oklahoma. His peace would soon be shattered by the bizarre death of a group of outlaw motorcycle club members just outside his beloved town of Talihina. The violent deaths could not be easily explained. When other members of the club come to town to exact revenge and make charges of police brutality, Sam is distracted by this, causing him to momentarily miss other bizarre activities in around Talihina. To make matters worse, Sam's old flame returns to town with her husband, complicating Sam's life even further. As time passes, it becomes evident that something other than outlaw motorcycle gangs has descended on Talihina. Strange animal behavior and a rash of dead and disappearing dogs are the first warnings to the residence of the small town that a new danger is lurking in the beautiful Kiamichi Mountains surrounding the community. Bizarre helicopter and military activity also become common place in the area-not to mention a US Forest Service Special Agent named Paul Eastman is adding to the stress and confusion plaguing Sam. Sam's father, Addison, a full-blood Choctaw, is the first to recognize the real danger to the community. Sam is reluctant to listen to the old stories and legends of his ancestors. As a veteran of two tours in Iraq, Sam is confident he can handle what he assumes is a criminal element threatening Talihina. Unknown to Sam, something else-something ancient and lethal-is threatening Talihina. The government agency that is supposed to be neutralizing the threat is only making things worse. The creatures are referred to by many names throughout the world and among the First Nations Tribes. As the truth becomes evident, Sam must rely on his father's leadership and warrior skills to confront and defeat what he comes to know as . . . RELICS
