Read OnlineJennifer Thompson and her family become aware of a spectacular comet that has been streaking through space for millions of years and is now on a collision course with Earth. Jenny comes to realize that she is the only person with a chance to save her planet. With help from unlikely sources, Jenny utilizes her courage, ingenuity, and force of will–and finds herself, "Chasing the Killer Comet."The heavens are calling...wanted, one hero. Many disastrous situations are escalating within the galaxy that will jeopardize the survival of worthy races of intelligent beings, beginning with planet Earth. A suitable candidate is crucial in order to re-shape the future. Generations before her birth, the choice is made and a complicated interweaving of people and circumstances is put into motion. Now we must wait for the passage of time to blend all of the inherent behavior that will produce our hero. But, as time marches on, dangerous conditions continue to build. Such as, a massive comet, tumbling through space since before civilization on Earth began. Standing in the comet’s way is a beautiful planet, teeming with life and poised for great things. Years before our champion is born, the first of her direct support team becomes aware of threats to ours and other commendable races within the galaxy. As the years pass, she continues to have visions and is steadily drawn closer and closer to the starting point of what will become a legendary epic of human accomplishment. The adviser is infused with an overwhelming sense of duty, although she cannot yet grasp what the responsibility involves. The plan evolves and our hero is born. Years of growth will be needed before her services are required, and the comet is still unknown to the human race. Thirteen years later, Dr. Roy Thompson, an astronomer in British Columbia, is the first of his race to discover the comet. Weeks of study will be needed to plot its course. In the meantime, his home is in total disarray; he and his family need a new housekeeper. Applying for the job is Madame Caidoz…a professional psychic who claims to have been drawn to the area and compelled to apply for this job. Mr. Thompson is desperate. He and his two children, Martin and Jenny, can’t keep up with the workload themselves. Thirteen-year-old, Jenny, is instantly attracted to the strange new housekeeper and they quickly become friends. Her full name is Rellet Caidoz, but Jenny soon comes to know her as just, Relli. Relli feels relieved to finally be in the situation that has been nagging her for most of her life. Relli reveals that she believes Jenny is destined for great things. “But not greatness in the way we understand it, far beyond that, beyond our little place in the cosmos,” Relli told Jenny. “The enormity of your endeavors will not be on a local scale, or even a global level, but will span the galaxy. I see the name Jenny of Earth, emblazoned across the cosmos, and held in the highest esteem.” “Don’t ask me how or why Jenny, but you have been chosen to achieve great deeds, heroic acts of immense significance. I was sent here to help guide you on this path.” Despite Jenny’s reluctance to accept Relli’s visions, circumstances keep leading Jenny in that direction, particularly when her father divulges the disastrous path of the comet. Earth is not prepared for the threat, and Mr. Thompson knows it. Relli sees a faint hope to be saved from the comet. The faint hope comes along the same path as the fast approaching comet, and whatever this faint hope is; Jenny needs to partner with it. It is Earth’s only chance, and Jenny accepts the responsibility. Come and join Jenny on her first of many adventures as she finds herself, “Chasing the Killer Comet.”
