About the author
Thomas Zman
16 books57 followers Having completed over a dozen novels—some having been ahead of their time in their speculative nature—the world of publishing has taught me a great deal. The years have tempered my once seemingly endless flow of creativity; some would even argue that it has fully run its course now that today’s acknowledged sciences have caught up to yesterday’s science fiction. With world governments pulling back the curtain of secrecy, it shall remain to be seen if my stories will one day be a reference to Earth’s hidden past and humanity’s interaction with extraterrestrials. (Just kidding)
Painting pictures with words has forever been my passion, and now I feel I have taken my colorful imaginings as far as I can. Therefore, I have decided to switch from the genre that has been good to me all these years and change it, ultimately challenging my ability to paint pictures in a more diverse and family-oriented manner.
Going forward, my new stories will become mainstream and more inclusive. I will look to include themes spanning generations and take into consideration family dynamics, bringing to light just how and why people do what they do and why everything must change.
Yes, I feel it is time for me to change my perspective. To seek out a genre where I can further connect with readers, though on a far more personable level. I will now hone my writings to that, which will hopefully leave my readers feeling all warm and fuzzy inside and without a care as to what's really going on in the world around them.

‘From Whence They Came’ is a book that will change your life forever! It is not just any sci-fi story with Aliens, it’s a journey to the unknown where you not only find your own self, but you come to realise the meaning of life!
Thomas Zamn’s imagination and knowledge is commendable! You will find yourself immersed in the world of science and spirituality, conspiracies and mysteries, friendship and love through this book! I never ever imagined that a book involving aliens can be this enlightening!

Great premise, if you have ever thought that scripture and sci fi had more in common than just the obvious, this book is a good read.
Zman is awesome at creating alien technology and could seriously write a whole book just based on the tech.
There's a whole series to explore if you really dig it.

Humans Greed !!!
I’m totally speechless of Thomas Zman imagination.
For many years I’ve been saying that at biblical time technology would look like magic and God was invented to explain it all.
It always made sense to me seeing it this way just like chariots of fire lending on mountain tops could easily be spaceships for simple minded people at biblical times.
This is only the second book of the series so everything is still possible like a hoax or an alien conspiracy, I won’t know till I finish it all !
Narration by John McLoughlin was almost excellent, it did have some recording problems at the ending but I still loved his beautiful voice.
Absolutely and without,
a doubt
Recommended !!!

Well, what a story! High technology, alien abductors, human abductees living in underground cities beneath our oceans and both races working together. This is very unusual form of sci fi, a mixture of technology and religion with an almost biblical feel, the nearest thing I can compare it's atmosphere with is that of 'His Dark Materials' by Philip Pullman. Good work, I look forward to reading the next one in the series.

What if something was right under our nose? What if loved ones went missing for a reason? This is a spectacular read filled with a vast, well thought out world. One that is interwoven with a utopian society that is unlike any the human race could conceive on it's own. But with a little help from the other side...all is possible.

Alien Rapture
Bermuda Triangle disappearances are full of mysterious theories. Suppose the Earth had been genetically modified in the past to advance protohuman to human transformation and increase our awareness intelligence. This has a religious undertone of alien retribution for past interference. As they take the humans lost in the triangle they send them through a transfiguration series to learn how to survive in this undersea sanctuary until they are merged back into other guests already acclimated. The teachings are told to be lessons on survival when destruction of the upper world takes place. Once this happens the undersea residents will be the new population. All contact with prior lifetime spent above must be forgotten and time itself is measured loosely. This was a free book in return for a review. I am not associated with anyone connected to it. I felt it was slow paced and not really my genre. The religious content was evident in the story's purpose but I didn't think it helped propel the reader onward.

The night before Lt. Steve Coleman is scheduled to co-pilot the Valithor, he has a nightmare of being abducted by Aliens. As his terrors become reality, there is nothing he can do as he sinks deep into the Bermuda Triangle. As the Phoebians prepare Steve for his transformation; he continually searches for ways to escape his underwater prison. Since the Aliens had been on the earth before humans, they are preparing man for the cleansing of the human race that God has planned. Steve slowly learns they need each other for the Sanctification and he slowly stops fighting his desire to escape, as he prepares for his journey to Heaven.
I found Thomas Zman’s work of fiction, From Whence They Came, very entertaining. I had read the books out of order, but love them both. This book focused more on the life of one man who found he had to prepare for the coming of the Lord. The twist at the end was perfect, making the reader surprised at how Steve becomes reunited with his family.
