This book is a conspiracy theorists dream novel. All sorts of information about alien sightings and government coverups fill the pages. Fans of that sort of thing will enjoy this fast-paced story.&#8221;<em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> &#8212; K. M.

I found it to be a mystical, otherworldly and totally riveting story &#8230; And as you read this wonderful book, you&#8217;ll begin to think that all things come together for a purpose and the very fact that you&#8217;re holding this great book in your hands was meant to be &#8230;&#8221; <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><em>&#8212; DTChantel<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-285 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/tjwolfauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mandy-parm-02.jpg\" alt=\"mandy-parm-02\" width=\"90\" height=\"113\" \/><br \/>\n&#8220;There are many layers in this story that are seamlessly woven together to build a story that chronicles the traditional clash between Native American culture, progress with a hint of something not of this world mixed in. A dramatic story that will pull you in so that you have a need to read the next story to find out what happens next. Well written and very enjoyable.&#8221; <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong>&#8212; Mandy Parmenter<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-288 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/tjwolfauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hannah-03.jpg\" alt=\"hannah-03\" width=\"90\" height=\"89\" \/><br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ve never read a book dealing with aliens or UFOs before; so I had no idea what to expect going in. But I was pleasantly surprised! &#8230; Armed with her knowledge, group of friends, and her own strength; Una Waters &#8230; navigates through beings and situations that don&#8217;t even seem possible to exist &#8230; I&#8217;d highly recommend this series to readers who are big fans of scifi, extraterrestrial mysteries, and a strong main character!&#8221; <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong>&#8212; Hannah Kercheval<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-324 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/tjwolfauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/riley-moreland-01.jpg\" alt=\"riley-moreland-01\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/><br \/>\n&#8220;<strong>A Gleam of Light<\/strong> is my favorite of The Survival Trilogy. I am appreciative of character-driven plots, and book 1 did a great job of defining the three main protagonists of the story. Una Waters, the Hopi Indian woman, Jack Howser, the reporter and Colin Ashcroft, US Army General. The three actually met briefly as children on an airplane flight that happened to bump into a mysterious UFO. Years later, fate brings them together again as the military develops a sudden interest in something on Hopi land.&#8221; <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong>&#8212; Riley Moreland<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-357 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/tjwolfauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/kjsimmill-03.jpg\" alt=\"kjsimmill-03\" width=\"97\" height=\"97\" \/><br \/>\n&#8220;I enjoyed reading about different aspects of Hopi beliefs, combined with adventure, challenges, and Una\u2019s journey. Her journey is one of discovery, not only into the events occurring on the peaks and the past, but into herself and the connection she had almost forgotten with the land and life &#8230; There are many aspects woven wonderfully into this story, from beliefs and culture, to alien abductions, UFOs, and conspiracy theories.&#8221; <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong>&#8212; K.J.
