Intervention: A Science Fiction Adventure
Over population, global warming and food shortages have caused the American government to devise a plan that only allows for the survival of 7% of the world’s population—the handpicked elite. Among this group is Christopher Adams.
Christopher grows up with kind and loving parents who are devoted to each other. His father is an insurance salesman and his mother is a stay-at-home mom. Just your average hard-working American couple…who just happen to raise an extraordinary son.
At 12, Christopher is accepted to MIT, and by the age of 21, he is recruited by the CIA. Solving puzzles and decrypting codes come very easily to Christopher. His mind is so advanced, it almost seems as if he is from another world.
When Christopher finds out about the governments plan, Operation Down-size, he is horrified by the thought of billions of innocent lives being sacrificed to save the elite 7%. He knows he must stop Operation Down-size, but the puzzle is how?
Cindy, an astronaut and a member of the 7%, joins in Christopher’s quest. Thankfully, they have help: an alien spacecraft, equipped with a highly advanced artificial intelligence created by a highly advanced alien race.
Thousands of years ago, a highly advanced alien race on a mission of exploration discovered Earth. They could see, even at this early stage of development, that the human race was advancing its technology faster than it was maturing in compassion and wisdom—a combination that would one day lead to disaster. The aliens decide to intervene by implanting an altered gene code into several of the primitive females that would be passed down from one generation to the next for activation at a later time. The spacecraft was left hidden until the time was right to intervene further in order to save humans from themselves. That time has come.
Together, Christopher and Cindy, utilizing the spacecraft’s advanced technologies, seek to save the world and dismantle Operation Down-size. One question remains: Can they do it in time?

Pretty bad.
This story was thin at best. The behavior of the characters was ridiculously simplistic and poorly thought out. Their actions had no depth whatsoever. I would expect this kind of writing from a talented middle schooler. While the idea of the story was fine, the execution was elementary.

Must Buy
I absolutely loved this book it had everything I love in a book. It had history mixed with aliens. It immediately sucked me into the story and held my attention until the very end. I hope the author writes more, I will be waiting impatiently.

An interesting proposition on how to get those idiots in Washington DC to take responsibility.
Just to think about it.

"Intervention: A Science Fiction Adventure" has several major stories going on, one after the other, with the last finally tying things together.
It starts in the distant past, with a Wise, Caring, Alien Race™ viewing Earth's early tribes and deciding that we were going to eventually need real help unless our humanity caught up to our technology. Thus, they impregnate selected women from various places with a sleeper DNA to eventually create a super-intelligent human at the proper time. They also pose as the sun god Ra to tap the Egyptians to build a great pyramid with a completely hidden chamber to hold one of their smaller spaceships, complete with AI, so it can track events without being seen.
The main part of the book follows the birth of Christoper Adams and his subsequent life. Christoper is a real genius who gets accepted to MIT at age 12 and recruited by the CIA at age 21, partly because he is so good at solving puzzles (useful in cryptology). He is also a deeply moral person, which causes definite problems when certain government agencies announce to a select group of people that Earth's governments secretly intend to wipe out nearly the entire Earth population with a series of neutron bombs (!) in an Operation they call Down-size. The select group of people learn that they, and a carefully selected total of 7% of the population, will be cared for and saved from the slaughter.
Christoper quits the CIA suddenly and flies to Egypt to solve the huge puzzle of the pyramids. While sitting in one of the Great Pyramid's chambers, he finds himself magically sucked through several layers of rock to be introduced to the alien spaceship! That's when he learns of the original alien plans, of which he is one result. Between Christoper and the spaceship's AI capabilities, they endeavor to save the Earth from its secret governmental plans of mass homicide.
In general, I liked the book, but some things were a bit hard to swallow (and I don't mean the sci-fi/alien portions) -- especially in regards to Operation Down-size. The premise that it existed, that several governments could band together to come up with it and implement a plan to carry it out, the thought that it could be all done in secret, and most of all, that they expected every one of the "special" people that they told would go along with it and not blab! I had a hard time coming up with a star rating, but finally settled on 3. You can probably enjoy it if you can completely suspend disbelief.

Good read
Refreshing, what a nice refreshing book now if our leaders (political) leaders would read this and take some lessons many the human race might have a good chance of growing up past the diaper and toddler stage! Every person should want to read this book.

Excellent First Book
I think this is J W Huemme's first book. If it is, it's off to a great start. Aliens, long ago history, a hero, all good things to have in a good book.
Please write another, I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Nice story.
It was a pleasing yarn of first and last contact, and I hope the author will continue these adventures of Cindy and Christopher.
