A fantastic/romantic/fictional story of two humans plus an alien, who work to change the nature of humanity in order to make us responsible 'Care-takers' of our Planet. * Premise: Some kind of 'monkey' was the Prototype of 'homo sapiens'. We have yet to find the remains of a so-called 'missing link'; although Professor Leaky has come near. Hence, 'The Beatles' broke into song with 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'. At the beginning of 1942, slam-bam in the middle of the Second World War, a British boy, David Ormond, is suffering from the traumatic experience of watching Coventry's blitzkrieg destruction. His sympathetic reaction to the tragedy creates an intergalactic beacon to which aliens respond. They recruit the boy, who is a natural empath, for a mission to change the nature of humanity. The boy/man does not realize his potential as a catalyst of change, until a girl/woman, Minx, arouses him to wide-awake reality. Minx shows David that Man with just a little help from his 'friends', where ever they come from, is quite capable of doing a make over job of himself. In their turn, the aliens, who have taken on the physical form of koala-bears become aware that they need to change themselves and their planet if they are to live fulfilling lives. The story then explores a multitude of ways and means to make the necessary alterations to Man's psyche and DNA to convert Humanity into the best possible Caretaker for Planet Earth, A decision is made to use The Commonwealth of the Bahamas as a 'proving-ground' for the 'new' people of the World - a microcosm of the macrocosm. David and Minx use their profession as teachers in The Bahamas to slowly and methodically mould the thinking of their students and the parents of those students towards a 'Brave New World'. Joshua had his secret weapons to bring down the Walls of Jericho and these two teachers have their own covert procedures for fighting Reactionary and neo-Nazi forces in Bahamian Society and in the rest of the World. In particular, Minx knows how to 'handle' her 'business'. Enough said: "Softee, softee ... Catchee monkee!
