Disbelief greets the messengers from Marrias, a planet with an advanced civilization that is light years from Earth, when they try to warn the leaders of our planet that an ominous poisonous cloud is heading towards Earth. My fast-paced, suspense novel, tells the story of the Marriast efforts to convince the leaders of the diverse nations on Earth of the impending catastrophe, and to persuade them to take immediate action to protect humanity. Even our most advanced telescopes do not see the Cloud until it penetrates our solar system. The major characters in the novel must be persuaded to assist the aliens in their effort to contact the leaders of the nations and participate in a possible last minute rescue if the Cloud penetrates Earth''s ozone layer. Will our leaders procrastinate, forcing the Marriasts to take control of the Earth in order to save humanity from extinction? As the story evolves we see the contrast between our present world still filled with war and violence and the utopian planet of Marrias that has long ago overcome similar problems and is now 1,000 years ahead of us in technolgy, science, medicine and human values. The human characters in the novel become aware of their own shortcomings as they strive to demonstrate mankind''s potential for achieving a more peaceful and advanced civilization here on Earth.
