Product Description:
An advanced group of humans leave ancient Earth, but keep an eye on their less advanced cousins. The advanced humans meet the Ragnor, an alien species that experiments on other species for no other reason but that they can. The advanced humans begin to manipulate Earth history by posing as historical figures such as King Arthur, Galileo, Amelia Earhart, among others. The Ragnor find Earth, causing all sorts of historical anomalies such as the Salem Witch Trials and the disappearance of the Roanoke colonists. In the 1940's, one of their ships get shot down over New Mexico, by some American fighter pilots with some amazing flying and some lucky machine gunning. Once the scientists of Earth start reverse engineering the downed spacecraft, President Truman issues an executive order that will forever change Earth history. (edited by author)

Despite its shortcomings, Don't Mess With Earth by Cliff Ball is an interesting book.

The "President" not getting impeached and sent to prison for ordering a genocidal attack? ... Read More

For the generous four star reviews, the main key word is generous.
The writing isn't strained in places, the writing is nonexistent in any incarnation of "good" writing.
From the first page, I began to question a few things. The first was the fact that the book is written ... Read More

Author Cliff Ball draws on his knowledge of history, folklore and Christianity to craft a convincing retelling of humanity's time on Earth.
Told mostly from the point of view of a newly sworn-in U.S. President, we learn that Earth has existed under the shadow of secrets and lies for thousands of years. As Noah was building his wooden ark to escape the flood, a highly developed race of people called Terrans was designing starships and planning to leave the Earth entirely.
The Terrans ... Read More
