The Day They Came
Gérard L. Breissan
The gripping story of a teenager and young adult's adventures in the South of France and the African Congo. Gérard meets and forms an unbreakable bond with the alien Eudoxus, who becomes his mentor and guardian angel. He recounts the fisherman Etienne's story about a terrifying and extraordinary storm off Le Grau du Roi in the French Camargue, when six men lost their lives. The story ends when Gerard is twenty-one. Like the writer, whose name he shares, he joins the hospitality industry to see the world. Throughout the narrative and as he grows up and matures, Gerard struggles to remain true to himself, and to find the correct path in life.
"I liked this tale of a teenager's close encounters with an alien who becomes his guardian angel, rescuing him from various scrapes, once in the guise of an ageless Jesuit missionary in the Congo. An imaginative and delightful read, even if you're not a ufologist." – John Russell, SJ, formerly long-time Warden of Ricci Hall, University of Hong Kong.
"Breissan's tale poses many questions for readers puzzled by UFO phenomena. – Alien from another world? Angel from Heaven? Who, or what is the mysterious but benign Eudoxus?" – Margaret Clarke, acclaimed translator of the future fiction classics, The Last Man and The World As It Shall Be and formerly lecturer in English at Notre Dame College of Education, Glasgow, United Kingdom.
GERARD L. BREISSAN tells us that many extraordinary events occurred throughout his early years, which he has always felt a compulsion to divulge. In The Day They Came he finally speaks out. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, but you, the reader, must decide.
