About the Book

At this point in world history, a time of major unrest, questions are rightly asked: "What is needed to bring peaceful co-existence among peoples and nations?" and, "What will provide stability and reasonable contentment for all human beings?" The author believes that the answer lies largely in government, its form and organization. As one of humanity's oldest institutions, it makes and enforces decisions affecting the conduct of all human beings.

In the book, Venecia's Earthling, Bill Brady, a highly placed U.S. official and organizational expert, wrestles daily with these questions. It also considers the possibility of intelligent life existing elsewhere in the universe and explores alternative practices there that might contribute to better world order on planet Earth.

Bill becomes the vehicle for world change after beauteous Venecia Anthony, an alien look-alike of his former lover, Jeane Brandon, lures him onto a spacecraft. Bill is abducted and transported to Venecia's home planet Aequatanus, where he finds a diverse but civilized people living in peace. Their near-utopian planet is a model for study, being far advanced in government, science, and social culture. Bill returns to Earth with the mission of acquainting world leaders with all he has seen and learned there. he is reunited with his earthly lover and soon summoned by the President, who asks him to formulate plans for stronger continental alliances and a reformed United Nations.

Venetia's Earthling sets out ideas and concepts intended to stimulate constructive thinking as we begin to shape our coming world and move forward in the 21st Century and beyond. Charts and appendices supplement the work, portraying potential government structures and supporting constitutional provisions.
