Description:

Have you ever wondered why our chronic illness is so pervasive? Answer: everything is working according to plan, almost.

A conspiracy lurks behind the thin veil of history. All of humanity is simply a long-term resource project. The advanced race of Provenger introduce agriculture with the intent of returning thousands of years later to harvest the population it makes possible. They have designed wheat to have very specific effects. The staff of life has become the club of death. They want their victims to populate the planet while slowing their technological advancement. Their prey will be numerous, plump, and harmless; the dream of any carnivore.

They do their job too well. When they return they encounter multitudes that are sick, obese, and poisoning themselves with ineffective drugs in an attempt to heal from chronic disease caused by their diet. Sound familiar?

Flesh is tainted and the Provenger's planned organic livestock is ruined. Unless there is time to correct human health, the Provenger will need to collectivize the population to better manage the product.

Rick Thompson makes first contact in modern times with these extraterrestrial game wardens as he becomes their unwilling operative. To prevent wholesale destruction of civilization, Rick must decide how to resist while collaborating. He must help the Provenger conspire against government officials and "conventional wisdom" to avoid collectivization, admittedly an impossible mission.

Meanwhile, he is forced to fumble his way through the roles of assassin, gunfighter, and the object of alien lust. As circumstances close in, he acquires allies in the most unlikely places, and struggles for his sick son, his new Provenger lover, and all of mankind with the only thing he has, his primal estate.

Infused with action, humor, romance, horror, and intrigue are concepts effecting the foundations of human health, and fundamental causes of chronic illness. If you pay attention, you may just gain insight about how to take back your health from the monsters that hijacked it.

About the Author

Author Samuel Franklin has spent his life working and playing in extreme environments from alpine peaks to barren deserts, from high security prisons to the skies of the West Indies. As a United States Marine, educator, and member of the law enforcement and intelligence community, he has developed a breadth of knowledge of the human condition. His work and diverse hobbies have led him on frequent adventures.
Franklin began his journey into the Primal Estate in a most unlikely place, a small aircraft flying over a tropical island. Part of a special operations group hunting a subject, he began to realize something had been hunting him. It was the Aedes aegypti mosquito from the island’s steamy suburbs. It had given him dengue fever and the symptoms hit at thousands of feet while circling a target. From the time of his landing and for two weeks after, Sam was wracked with fever, and bone crushing pain. When it was all over he was left with a debilitating, degenerative syndrome that doctors could neither identify nor understand. What started as malaise and stiff muscles progressed to most of the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. During years of suffering, after giving up on doctors who only wanted to prescribe drugs, Sam took full responsibility for his condition and searched for the truth about autoimmunity. Using himself to experiment, he isolated the problem and recovered his health.
Franklin dedicates his writing to a deeper understanding of the mind and body, and man’s unique place in his environment.
