Book #5

The Inventor

By Beverly Blackman Mounce


There is yet another security breach between Earth and Xeracik, the first two planets to actually exchange intellectual information and form an alliance. The large historic oak tree on Grandpa's Texas ranch, which was being used as a portal between the two planets, has unwillingly delivered something to Earth. Yes, the tree was beginning to show signs of human emoitions! It actually tried to stop the delivery. After an unwelcome entrance to Earth is made, there begins a threat of an all-out war between the planets.

Rex Jr. is an innocent bystander who arrives at Mr. "Grandpa" Olson's ranch to see his uncle Rex. His uncle watches of Sam the tree portal, and when Rex Jr. comes over for a Thanksgiving cisit, he accidentally gets involved in the catostophic mishap. Fortunatly for all involved on both planets, Rex Jr. is a science student who enjoys inventing things and entering science fairs. He was named after his uncle, and ironically both have the same first name as the ranch owner, Mr. Rex Olson, "Grandpa Rex".

Grandpa Rex and his grandsons have been involved in the first four encounters and would rather not be involved in any more, but they do not have a choice.

If you were thrown into a situation involving visitors from another planet, would you try to run away, or would you be curious to know about these strange beings? Rex Jr. has always been wanting to figure things out. He is a little nervous when he is alone, confronting an alien, but as he stands by Sam the tree portal, he doesn't run away. He begins asking the strange being one question after another. It has been named Kitty B by Grandpa Rex Olson. As Kitty B does things to try to unnerve Rex Jr., Rex Jr just becomes more intent on understanding what is going on.

Rex Jr. and the Xeracik labrotories come up with a very unusual invention. Read to find out what happens in this fifth Earth/Xeracik encounters.

 Book # 3

The Intruder

By Beverly Blackman Mounce

For some teenage boys a calm summer in the heart of Texas, becomes an interference with universal peace and harmony. A summer job on a Texas cattle ranch is not what it seems. They become part of a sinister plan involving robotics research, and an alien portal that is hidden in a sturdy old oak tree. What seems like a series of coincidences eventually points to alien involvements.

If their are beings from other planets, will they have things in common with human life? How will they be able to communicate? Can they be good or evil? Are they smarter than humans? Do they even like humans? Is there an advantage to being friends with them?

Grandpa Rex does not like change, but he has no choice but to accept it. His grandsons also have no choice. How would you handle life-changing events caused by aliens from the planet Xeracik?

Book #2
The Insider

By Beverly-Blackman Mounce


What does it take to be a hero?

A ranch in Texas is hit by a tornado. What seems like a normal ranch however isn't. A space travel portal is in a large oak tree and is compromised in the storm. Through that tree, Earth was able to strike an alliance with another planet in another solar system. Now things could go very wrong, especially since Sam (the tree) is hurt in the storm and starts oozing special alien birthing fluids and portal chemicals.

Who could help with this precarious situation? Could it perhaps be one of the humans who has witnessed the formation of an intergalactic alliance just last Christmas? Or maybe the hero had to be someone who knew nothing of the tree and how it came to be. Maybe the best person to help is an outsider becoming an unsuspecting insider.

Sometimes we have to chose between family and the greater good. What would you do? Read to see what happens to special family and friends on a ranch in the heart of Texas.

Book # 4

The Invitee

By Beverly Blackman-Mounce


What do you do when you receive a mysterious invitation from an alien? Simple, ignore it until they won't let you ignore it any more.

Braden Oleson and his brother Cade just wanted to have a simple, normal life in their hill country home in Texas. They helped their grandpa out on his ranch that was further north from them with three alien encounters-first when the aliens arrived at Christmas holidays (the Invader), once the following spring (The Insider), and once last summer (the Intruder)

Now school was in the fall session. Football season began, and the two boys wanted to get back to their normal routines. Earth and a planet called Xeracik had made peaceful agreements, and in spite of constant human-caused errors, this intergalactic relationship had been going well, until a civil war began on Xeracik with one side not having peaceful intentions toward earth!

The large, historic oak tree on Grandpa Rex's ranch had been used as a portal from Xeracik to Earth. What's going to happen to it? Fortunately for Braden and Cade, their brother, Ryan is a secret agent for interplanetary interactions. Read what happens as, once again the boys are drawn into an alien encounter, the fourth one in less than a year!

I liked this book for multiple reasons, a few of them are as follows: I myself am writing a book that has to do with aliens, and because the way she writes it is intriguing, it leaves you wanting more after every chapter!
