It is New Years Eve, 2012 and a strange man with a worn deeply lined face and old dark felt hat pauses briefly before a rain-drenched store window. He tightens his long brown coat against the elements, while he peers at the festivities on a displayed television screen. He is late for a meeting and must hurry off. The mysteries at the center of this brief encounter will not only alter the lives of the two soldiers in the middle of this holiday crowd on the screen, but could also bring about changes so unbelievable and shocking as to alter the course of human affairs forever. In volume one, two career U.S. Marines and longtime friends, Staff Sergeant Jeffrey M. Langdon and Corporal Harry S. Calhoun find themselves in the middle of events that force them to not only question their loyalties, but to ask "just how far is to far when it comes to national security and just when is the price to high?" United Earth: the Revelation is volume 1 in the United Earth series. Volume 2, United Earth: Red Skies Aegean Seas resumes the story in Greece where the people can be hot and the trials Langdon and his friends will have to endure may even be hotter.
