RECOMMENDED by the US Review of Books World War III has begun According to a current list of reported UFO sightings, few documented reports exist from the time of Classical antiquity until the 1940's. However, one of the first and most reliable descriptions of a mass UFO sighting was written by the historian, Josephus, following the siege and destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., when he wrote the following: ..".Thus there was a star resembling a sword, which stood over the city... at the ninth hour of the night, so great a light shone round the altar and the holy house, that it appeared to be bright day time; which lasted for half an hour. This light seemed to be a good sign to the unskillful, but was so interpreted by the sacred scribes, as to portend those events that followed immediately upon it... before sunsetting, chariots and troops of soldiers in their armor were seen running about among the clouds, and surrounding of cities." "Elohim III: The Return" is the third and final book in this author's controversial "Elohim" series, which began with "Elohim: Ancient Science Fiction or Biblical God?" and was recently followed by "Elohim II: Ascension of the King." It examines critical events in world history related to UFO activity and reveals the next stage in mankind's rapidly approaching evolution or ultimate extinction. "The future is here " "In humans, the immediate effect of consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil (Dragon Fire fruit or its extracts) is an increase in aggression." "In the stunning conclusion to the Elohim series, the reader finds out more about the Anunna aliens and their dealings with humanity. The author describes the Anunna as a highly-advanced civilization living on the distant planet Eris, but humans have largely ignored their existence. According to the author, the Eridians have created humans by fusing their own genes with lower hominid forms. In this final installment of the trilogy, Elohim, the ruler of the Anunna, Immanuel (resurrected Jesus), and their armies are planning an invasion to Earth to completely overturn our political and economic systems and assume a complete rulership over Earth's nations. Elohim's armies want to restore order in the world, but no one will know when they will arrive because of their superior cloaking devices and technology on their ships. This fascinating book melds factual information, such as biblical facts, historical events, and technology with science fiction. The author's tone is readable and matter-of-fact, and each chapter contains inventive information, which will please SF&F aficionados, lovers of UFO mysteries and sightings, and people who like non-traditional interpretations of the Bible. Particularly of note were the author's origins of the manna, which was, according to the Bible, a food source fed to the starving Israelites in the desert. According to Barger, it is a fruit consumed by the Seraphim (dragons) on Eris. This is a fascinating portrayal of the origins of humanity and what lies ahead for us as a species, also a perfect read for lovers of UFO, biblical mysteries, and SF&F in general." --by Caroline Blaha-Black.
