Judgment

As early as 2010, the eminent physicist Stephen Hawking, and other scientists were cautioning enthusiasts against looking for alien life across the

universe. Humans are pretty much bound to Earth and its immediate surroundings. If we make contact in the near term, it’s likely they will come to us. That indicates they would have technology far exceeding our own and may be on the hunt for resources. More recently, on another point, Hawking has warned that “the development of a full Artificial Intelligence (superintelligence) could spell the end of the human race”.

In this novel, the friendly creatures had brought their own Lord with them. Early on, it became clear that they were sexless and could not eat human food. Their Lord provided them with manna for sustenance.They were accepted world-wide without resistance as Angels from heaven. Their remarkable intelligence and power derived from the leadership of their Lord quickly led to the implementation of the Judgment.
