    About this ebook

    The story revolves around a simple phrase, ‘Love one another.’ Of how complex it became when benevolent aliens, only thirty-six, stranded on our planet sought help from us humans to refuel their ship to save their civilization. Aliens who believed in one almighty and benevolent God. Aliens whose society flourished on a firm and deeply rooted abidance to their God’s greatest tenet, ‘Love God and one another.’ Of how this belief’, deeply etched in the alien’s nature, clashed with human’s greed for power. Wary of the human temptation to acquire the power one can hold in their technology, the aliens pushed on to save their civilization through this inherent human mindset.

    An excerpt from the novel will best describe the alien’s predicament through Amo Obib’s, the Alien leader's dilemma when he said, “In all the years I observed humans, I never understood them. Power, greed, and mistrust are things that shaped their destiny. Never in history have they thought of themselves as one earthling. Countries, races, tribes, families, and even within their own family, they compete against each other. I do not understand,” he paused as he struggled to make sense of it. “It’s sad for it is within the Human’s power to make this planet a wonderful place to live. If they only knew the value in loving and helping each other, they could make their world a paradise.”

    Accessed for its story, a professional reviewer concluded, “This is a formulaic and unique sci-fi novel that fans of aliens, philosophy, anthropology, sociology and even theology will find engaging.” A conclusion drawn as embedded within the story are those issues in story form. Issues true thousands of years ago as it is today. Issues that will make one stop and consider. The story will make you pause, ponder, and wonder.

    Arturo Campo

    I was born December 14, 1943 in Davao City, Philippines. In education, I have a degree in Bachelor of Arts major in mathematics, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Masters in Business Administration. I migrated to the United states November of 1976 and work there until 1997. My last employer was Mileage Plus, Inc., a subsidiary of United Airlines, as a Senior Systems Analyst. I retired on that same year and returned to my native land, Davao City, Philippines and had lived there to this day. I have a son, John Paul (JP) Campo who resides in Los Angeles, California.On and off, from April 2, 1980 till late November, 2018, I struggled to finish this novel, titled Help. With no formal writing training, I literally told a story (tell) opposed to the literary standard of ‘show.’ I can only hope that the quality of the story as written, and the philosophical and moral issues it addressed and subtly embedded in the story itself, will not be impaired.Will you help me spread the message, 'Love God and one another'? It is subtly embedded in the story. Can I asked a favor? Can you write an honest review. Many, many thanks.Feel free to contact me through my email address: bibocampo@hotmail.com
