Description

Adamonde is an ADULT Science Fiction novel about a female alien who is transported to Earth from one of only three inhabited planets in the universe. She has been given unlimited knowledge to assist in saving Earth from a slide into oblivion. She is rescued upon her arrival by a young man who is attempting suicide at the time and together they find healing and eventually deep love.

This is a story about unselfish sentiments, enduring love, murder and treachery. A large Swiss pharmaceutical company hires assassins and attempts to capture or kill Adamonde to attain her unique biological properties for monetary gain. Adamonde and her eventual husband find help in the Mormon Church, with the government of a small Caribbean island, with the World Health Organization and with many others in their quest to simply be left alone to enjoy each other, raise their children and teach earth scientists how to extend life and reduce suffering among the population of Earth.

In their frantic search for peace they stumble across a developing race of alien hybrids on earth who have been propagating and living a secret and comfortable life, thanks to another of Adamonde's kind who came to earth over a hundred years earlier. The two aliens quickly become friends and their families combine to combat a group of killers hired by the pharmaceutical company.

Prologue
Have you ever rested in cool summer grass on a clear, starlit night, interlocked your fingers behind your head and looked; really looked at the heavens. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt you’ve wondered if there are creatures like us out there. Have you also wondered if they could be as screwed up as we are? Have the myriad movies about evil aliens tilted your thinking toward, “Shoot first and ask questions later”?
If you were fortunate or unfortunate enough to be the first greeter, what would you do? Certainly the great movies, “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and “Star Man” should give one pause about what could happen if an alien came in peace to help our world. If our government or any other government sensed a weakness, the alien would probably disappear forever. Why do you think that would happen?
What is it about our present un-civilized state that would prompt such an unwelcoming? An article in a respected professional journal highlighted the euthanasia and testing of an otherwise healthy kitten because it simply had red teeth. The cause has been historically documented and a tooth or blood could have been taken to test and verify the cause, but the rationalization used for euthanasia was to understand if the rest of the litter was susceptible. Could the justification actually have been to support an article for that very professional journal?
Is this the same tendency which leads us to dissect frogs to see what’s inside? If extra-terrestrials really came in peace, would they have to bring an armada or advanced technology to enforce their peaceful intent, or would they just have to hide and avoid detection until our civilization outgrows reality television and matures … or finally destroys itself? With either scenario, would the alien mission be a failure or a success?
1.
The gloomy, threatening low clouded, late-winter overcast was sunshine and roses compared to his current mental attitude, or perhaps his temporary insanity. He’d been preparing to jump when he saw the bluish flash and heard or sensed the tinkling wind chimes … he was sure he heard wind chimes … or was it a kitten’s lost cry … but then what was that blue flashy light? He’d been concentrating intently on the beguiling water; perhaps the flash and wind chimes were both fabrications from within his dark, jumbled mind.
Oh, the melancholy … the melancholy swirling green river with its sympathetic foam and sensuously rounded curves, beckoned softly to his derelict heart and oxygen-rich lungs. Slightly distracted for the moment, he turned marginally and waited a few quiet heartbeats … and then once more captivated by the water, arranged one foot on the rusty-blue bottom rail of the old ferry’s rear deck railing.
Then suddenly, inexplicably … there it was again, definitely a kitten under a bench somewhere on the old observation deck; probably the captain’s kitten or perhaps the mechanic’s. It was definitely a kitten and he should decidedly pay it no attention due to his upcoming and obligatory journey downward. He strained to ignore whatever it was and resolutely anchored his foot higher; more thoughtfully and firmly into the blue-flaked rust, and again braced his body preparing to catapult into the hypnotic, roiling wake.
Damn it … damn … there it was again … disturbing, what the hell …wind chimes … he sensed; it was definitely wind chimes, but perhaps coming from under the wood observation benches.
Really … so what, he was in no hurry; he could check it out before he checked out, perhaps it was a little kitten after all, maybe even a red striped one. He almost grinned in his miserable state. He liked red tabby cats for their pluck and grit ... and life. He temporarily abandoned his immediate mission and walked slowly around the benches on the deserted deck like a hunter, looking … stalking ... slowly. He heard it no more, but creeping carefully, he peered under the old benches one by one with a certain degree of gut-wrenching dread, and he couldn’t comprehend … quite why.
Suddenly, reflexively he yelled and fell backward from his crouch onto his heels, rump and outstretched hands, “Not what a hunter would do” he thought. When he saw her, he was suddenly overwhelmed with her cold, emotion and agony, and the deep abyss of fear and confusion harbored therein. His stomach rumbled and his ears rang deep in his head. He felt like vomiting.
She grabbed for him and he recoiled once more; suddenly there were the wind chimes, or crystal tapping in his ears yet again. She looked at him directly, intimately, with her head turned sideways from her under-the-bench crouch. Her eyes were the color of dazzling turquoise with the outward appearance of two light-refracting heat-cracked marbles; more beautiful than anything he’d ever beheld. They commanded attention and empathy and something … else. He felt it so intently his rumbling stomach became even queasier and he swallowed bile.
Slowly, compellingly, with heart pounding he approached her on his hands and knees in his own confusion and curiosity, to get a closer look. She was nude, olive skinned and hairless; at least on all the parts he could see. One could practically see through her translucent right ear and he immediately noticed the shallow tympanic membrane. Minute shades of blue followed her veins, especially on her neck, and small breasts where they were softly mushroomed against her upper arms.
Intrigued out of his death wish for that moment, myriad other thoughts, some seemingly not his own, were busy pushing away his private drudgery and sickening lonesomeness. He reached out, hoping to just touch her hand; she reached for his. He heard the chiming tinkle again. When he finally touched her, his mind could hardly contain the emotional tsunami. He sucked in a great gasp of cold life-giving air, groaned and cried and she cried with him in her own way.
Then she came at him so fast he couldn’t move, or somehow didn’t want to. Her elbows were suddenly in his coat sleeves the wrong way and she was huddled inside his coat, her biceps under his arm pits; hands over his shoulders, legs around his waist, toes and feet trying to intermingle at his lower back; legs like soft, warm scissors. He reflexively enclosed her in his big coat like a mother bat, and she snuggled and tinkled with delight. He knew it was the purest delight and relief … somehow.
Almost at once he felt her radiant warmth, both with his body and in his heart. Settling herself again, she turned her head to nestle the right side of it against his chest, and her legs and arms rearranged, wrapped more securely yet more familiarly and comfortably around his body. Not knowing what else to do, he got off his knees with her firmly attached and ventured into the small, glassed foul-weather observation room with his prize hanging to him like a monkey, wrapped warmly in his long, black pea coat. Her small head looked like a tan ostrich egg under his chin and black wool collar. He looked down at it; smiled at the thought, felt her head move slightly and heard a muffled chiming. He sat down on one of the well-worn, blue, slatted wood seats and she adjusted herself to fit his form again like one of his old comfortable shirts.
As he struggled to allay any overtly sexual thoughts about having a naked female something wrapped around him; attempting to replace them with thoughts of assistance, empathy and normality, he heard a little sharp chirp and a quiet rumble. Then he heard the ferry’s docking horn; startled and jerked at its warning blare. At the same time he lurched, the female thing inside his coat squeezed harder, lifted itself up to peer out toward land with one eye and deep into his eyes, and perhaps his soul, with her other. Somehow not surprised by her independent eyes, he whispered, “We’re going home. I think you’ll like it.” She smiled, opened her full lips a little, tinkled like a crystal wind chime in a gentle breeze, and smiled directly at him with both spectacular, painfully beautiful eyes.
There were only two other people on the front deck at that point, and still none in the foul weather room. No one seemed to care what was under his coat anyway. Initially, he thought it was because of the cold that time of year on the Oregon coast, and onlookers probably thought he had a child protected under his coat with a little tan toboggan on. It could have been his stochastic state of mind and people just didn’t want to see him. She chimed once under his coat. Could she read his thoughts? She chimed in a different way that sounded like confirmation somehow.
By the time he reached his car and prepared for unloading, he was beginning to harbor thoughts of insanity of a different strain. This lost little thing under his coat could be a figment of his imagination. No wonder no one noticed. She chimed and he thought, “Well, hell if I’m cr
