Many late nights listening to Coast to Coast AM, since the early days of Art Bell, where he'd have many guests on that talked about aliens and underground secret bases (mostly in the southwest USA desert, like Area 51, but also bases all over the world), like Whitley Strieber, Richard Dolan, Roger Lear, Richard Sauder, and more. Guests spoke about real life bases; some about fictional stories and some spoke about both. These books take a sampling of the facts that have been made public about D.U.M.B.s and adds some imaginative speculation to create a brand new, wild fictional ride!

As the returning planet “Wormwood” (also known as the "Destroyer") gets closer, trailing its debris of asteroids, Leon, the General, and Major Marks struggle to free themselves from the inner Earth and the clutches of a group of Annunaki, who have been awakened deep underground by their servants the Lizard People and the tall Greys.Back on the surface, Leon's wife Mary and their daughter Jennie are thrown into the fight of their lives as the reality of the alien threat, and of the rogue planet, begin to be felt all over the world.The rest of the ancient "gods" who inhabit the "Destroyer" plan to take over Earth with the help of their Earth-based kin, in the wake of the chaos and destruction they are bringing. As advanced as the Annunaki are, they did not predict the unforeseen opposition that is rising to meet them even as the meteors begin to fall.

During the colonial period, Africans told each other terrifying rumors that Africans who worked for white colonists captured unwary residents and took their blood. In colonial Tanganyika, for example, Africans were said to be captured by these agents of colonialism and hung upside down, their throats cut so their blood drained into huge buckets. In Kampala, the police were said to abduct Africans and keep them in pits, where their blood was sucked. Luise White presents and interprets vampire stories from East and Central Africa as a way of understanding the world as the storytellers did. Using gossip and rumor as historical sources in their own right, she assesses the place of such evidence, oral and written, in historical reconstruction. White conducted more than 130 interviews for this book and did research in Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia. In addition to presenting powerful, vivid stories that Africans told to describe colonial power, the book presents an original epistemological inquiry into the nature of historical truth and memory, and into their relationship to the writing of history.
