In this historic book, a retired L.A. Times editor reports on a coalition of humans and aliens now engaged in extensive interplanetary diplomacy -- with a goal of open contact. Mr Krapf, the designated writer and herald for this epic project, shares the daunting challenges this role has forced upon him, in this sequel to his controversial 1998 book, 'The Contact Has Begun'. This book is Krapf's continuing story of the secret deliberations between a race of alien observers called the Verdants, and some 850 world leaders known as 'ambassadors' -- an interplanetary liaison that will soon lead to a formal and public announcement of contact. This book chronicles the dramatic events of Krapf's second period of sojourn on the Verdant craft which occurred in 2000. It also reports key events of 'ground contact' with a Verdant representative, with two unnamed Ambassadors -- including a news official at the L.A. Times -- and with his own guardian angel. Upon his initial abduction onto the Verdant craft in 1997, Krapf discovered that he was hand-picked by this advanced alien race to be their designated 'star reporter' for the contact project.This eagerly-awaited second book explains the predicament faced by the human/Verdant team that is planning imminent contact, picking up the thread of what may be the most important story Mr Krapf, or any other journalist, has ever reported.
