Where Is Steve Brandt?
In a serene suburb of San Diego, Father Steve finds himself at odds with his teenage kids. But their family friction pales in comparison to the jaw-dropping chaos that erupts when an otherworldly, gigantic ship crashes right into their home. Prior to the crash, Steve had been fixated on eerie, unexplainable lights outside, and when he ventures out to investigate, he disappears into thin air, leaving the neighborhood reeling.
As the dust settles, the shattered remnants of their home reveal an enormous, mysterious vessel, sending shockwaves through the community. Government agencies swoop in to hush up the mind-bending event, but Steve’s abrupt vanishing leaves his family torn apart, grappling with a tsunami of burning questions: Where did the colossal ship come from? Why did it choose their home? And most urgently, what happened to Steve? The tale unfolds into a gripping blend of sci-fi and cloak-and-dagger mystery, painting a thrilling picture of the utterly inexplicable.
The Final Word
Even though it’s “fictional” in nature and concept, it has been spurred and inspired by current events. Without question, it has turned my focus to search for collective understanding and to return to finding the good or “better” in each of us VS our negatives. Regardless of Race, Religion, Class, Politics or Culture, we all face the inevitable! This book leaves it up to the reader to wonder if it is “God,” or some type of Superior Being that has determined our fate. “’We” as human beings own that responsibility! We are all born and come into this life blessed with Integrity, purity, common sense, and nonracial ethics. Where did we go so wrong? We all know the difference between right and wrong. Do we really need something or someone to make this understandable? We are “ONE,” we all have the same Hopes, Fears, Dreams and Desires. Let’s start living as “ONE” We have everything to lose but everything to gain! Hopefully, the sequel to this novel will prove it!
