Not much has been heard from Sen. Chris Buttars following his retirement from the Utah Legislature in 2011. Until now. It looks like he’s taken the past three years to pen a sci-fi novel.
The book, listed for sale on Amazon, is entitled “The Tribes.”
Here’s the synopsis:
The Tribes is a Sci-Fi thrilling novel that blends facts with white-knuckle visions of the possible. Everything in The Tribes is, or could become, a reality in our future. In a thrilling sequence of events, the Tribes tells the story of The Lost Ten Tribes, the who, where and why of flying saucers, and the reality of Nuclear War in America and the consequences that follow. Buckle up, because the excitement starts from the very first page and never slows down as we explore the present-day facts and Sci-Fi’s emerging visions of “what if?”
In case you’re interested, here’s a sample from Chapter 1:
The President’s Office, June 25, 2020
Rays of light spilled across the president’s desk, revealing scattered papers and a blank, blinking screen on his computer. The president, Johnny Dee Anderson, stood at the window, his arm resting lightly on the windowpane. The office was so quiet you would have expected it to be empty; however it was quite the opposite. Seated in the office were all five members of the executive staff.
Secretary of State Marty Clarkston sat at the corner of the president’s desk. Marty’s dress was, as always, very proper and businesslike. His suit looked as if it had yet to experience its first wrinkle, complete with a button-down, light blue dress shirt and a classy, multicolored tie. The picture was finished off with a golden chain that caught the light from the window, and the first impression was that he just stepped out of GQ magazine. His legs were crossed, and his hands lay in his lap; a look of tension was written clearly across his face. His head was turned inquisitively toward the president.
A President of the United States named Johnny Dee Anderson?
