WHAT HAPPENED TO THE INDIANS, a sci-fi thriller


Aliens come to Earth all the time in science fiction, of course.  It's how 
my aliens come that's unique, not exactly in peace and not exactly at war.  
The story takes place on the middle ground between 'E.T.' and 'War of the 
Worlds,' and it's never been plowed.

Alien beings make themselves known only to the United State government through
a small series of hostile acts.  They shoot down a couple jet fighters and 
kidnap a commercial airliner packed with passengers.  The one communication 
they offer is a request for an earth base in an isolated canyon in New 
Mexico.  Whether the aliens have come in peace or not is up to the newly-
elected President to decide.  The President's advisers split.  The hawks say 
not to give up any territory without a fight, what the American Indians 
should have done with Columbus.  The doves say let them land, that's it's 
insane to start a shooting war with a superior power.  The doves hope to 
deal with them, for the secrets of their technologies.
