Synopsis of Terror from the Sky (Chances):
After the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center, a new division of government called Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was established to protect the country from further terrorist attacks. In the spring of 2003, the United States and its allies went to war with Iraq.
The summer of 2003 was when the small town of Norfolk, Massachusetts, had it's own experience in terror, not from this earth. The local police would eventually need help from the state and federal government to solve mysterious animal mutilations and the disappearance of some town residents, all happening around an old abandoned mill complex. Both state and federal government realize they have a different kind of national security threat developing in Norfolk. Their mission is to isolate and dispatch the threat while at the same time devise a cover-up for the media and public.
Skylar Thomas is a twenty-year-old woman, previously diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. She is the daughter of the town's police chief and wants to help solve the mysterious mutilations. She is a determined individual and willing to take chances in order to find new adventure and purpose in her life. But will the emotional scars from the tragic death of her mother at age five, and her long standing disabilities prevent her from developing into the independent young woman she wants to be?
While Skye is trying to help her father solve the town mystery, she is introduced to Jacob Cambridge, the state forensics crime lab team leader. He has been assigned to try and help the local police early on in the investigation. Skye Thomas sees her opportunity to take a chance on love and independence, but will she survive the face-to-face encounter with the terror that is behind the mystery?

A sci-fi pageturner!
Intriguing sci-fi story interspersed with believable personal relationships. When you finish book one you will want to see what happens next! I immediately started the next book in the series!

Disclaimer: this book was written by my friend's dad and that's why I read it, I usually don't read science fiction. It was a good story and very enjoyable. I look forward to his next book and I hope it is edited better than this one - I found the poor editing distracting from the story.
