EYES OVER EARTH - John Andrew Egan

Hard working family man Jim Ignatius Wilson, witnesses the reflection of an alien vessel as it dodges a satellite, the experience forgotten by the grind of daily life. Moves North, due to serious health issues on the advice of the family doctor, and taking with him his wife Stella and only child Timothy to far North Queensland.

Rogand, an eternal, makes a decision and chooses Jim in a bold plan to help save the Earth from extinction, having saved microscopic lifeforms from their dying host on one of the many worlds he studies. Rogand picks Jim to blend with symbiotes, thus starting a unique journey for him and his collective known as Syman, on the road to an eventual solution.

They say one idea can change the world, now, throw in half a dozen and see what happens. With Earth safe, Rogand, Syman and Jim call upon others to join their ever growing circle of trustees to make sure no one finds out about their meddling in population control. At least until they can safely inform everyone all at once.

During all this, one of Rogand’s alien worlds is under attack from a primitive race. Using ships left behind from a race of beings that moved to other world’s millennia ago. With his new abilities, Jim helps these defenseless humanoids battle their enemy from the sky. A secret plan between Rogand and Syman brings about the birth of a new child from Namow, one of the Beltourian females, and causes history to repeat itself in a good way. Symbiosis has happened only once before on Syman’s previous world, hundreds of thousands of years ago.

But as luck would have it, Jim and Syman are a perfect blend. Yet, on their way towards the complete harmony of total symbiosis, Jim ascends prematurely to another reality. With him lost, Syman must step up to run the global family business of REFIT and its subsidiaries; however, that’s in book two of ‘EYES OVER EARTH’.
