The Conversion Conspiracy

by Shane Lester

What would happen to our economy, our political system and organized religion if extraterrestrial life came to Earth? If you knew the answers to these questions, and you knew they were coming, what would you do about it? Connelly Anders, a George Washington University sociology graduate student, discovers classified research documents that predict the collapse of our social order if extraterrestrial contact became public knowledge. Connelly unravels the ultimate conspiracy when he exposes James Jarvis, the embattled director of the secret government project, code named Rubicon. Connelly links the project to a covert operation in Mexico that studies cultural reaction to UFOs. He then discovers a curious reference about the resilience of the Mormon religion if alien contact is made. Connelly uncovers Jarvis's backdoor efforts to protect mankind by influencing society through the surge of conservative media and the nomination of a Mormon candidate for president.
