The Believer: A Univiah Novel Book 1

A compelling chronicle of what a highly evolved extra-terrestrial race reveals about Planet Earth.

On the 6th April 1966, students and a teacher from Westall High School in Melbourne, Australia, report seeing a flying object in the sky.

On the 29th July, 1969, on his thirteenth birthday, Alan Holmes has his own unique encounter with an extra-terrestrial space craft in outback New South Wales.

Even though his encounter is dismissed by almost everyone around him as routine air force testing exercise, young Alan believes otherwise.

This well-liked, good natured and adventurous youngster grows up to be a keenly intelligent and charming astrophysicist, specialising in the study of celestial bodies.

Forty years after his never-forgotten alien encounter and while working for an astrospace facility, Alan develops a digitally enhanced Morse code (DEMC).

DEMC is a simple set of highly audible dots and dashes that Alan broadcasts into the universe on a whole range of different frequencies.

 He believes these signals could be intercepted and deciphered by civilisations beyond Earth.

He is right.

So begins an extraordinary dialogue and encounter with a race of beings from Planet Univiah, a civilisation 1,695 light years from Earth, which rocks the very foundations of all human belief systems.
