Cloud Hands

The Disclosure Files, Book 1

De: Nancy J Nelson

Narrado por: Kerie Darner

Who do you wish to be? Who does humanity wish to be? This is a question that needs to be answered now.

On leave from her job as a diplomat, Vicki Heywood agrees to spend the summer looking after the kids of a former professor. It’s a no-brainer—the two kids are well-behaved teenagers, she’ll be living in a mansion, and she’s given a Bentley to drive, for crying out loud.

But why did her former professor make sure she still has a Top Secret clearance? Why does his daughter suffer from emotional breakdowns? What’s the real business of the Partnership? And how does a class of tai chi students vanish from a locked room?

Vicki becomes fearful when she learns of a conspiracy involving advanced alien technology, genetic manipulation, and a plan to take control of the lives of everyone on Earth. And that’s just the humans. The aliens have their own agenda.

The vibrational shift will be happening soon. That’s when humanity’s potential will become clear as our supposedly junk DNA is activated. But not if the Partnership can get control first.

Yes, Vicki is scared. And the scariest thing of all is that everyone is depending on her.

Cloud Hands: The Disclosure Files, Book 1 is a science fiction thriller that explores humanity’s near future…or lack of one.

The choice is ours.

Conspiracy in the Shadows

Vicki leads a normal life until she stumbles upon a secret she should never have known about: a global conspiracy where alien technology and genetic manipulation are just the tip of the iceberg. As she investigates, she discovers that the fate of humanity is at stake and that hidden forces, both human and extraterrestrial, will go to great lengths to silence her. In a world where truth is dangerous, Vicki must decide whether to stand up to power or live in fear.

Kerie Darner's narration adds an extra layer of suspense and immersion to the story. With her expressive voice, she manages to convey the tension, desperation and wonder of the characters, gripping the listener from the very first moment.

A perfect audiobook for those who enjoy stories full of mystery, action and theories that defy reality.

Science “Fiction”?

I’m a sucker for Science Fiction - especially SciFi set in a contemporary setting (I like imagining the “magic” of the story being something that might be accessible to me in real life). In that sense, Cloud Hands is a natural fit for me! Cloud Hands’ protagonist is a young Foreign Service officer who, while on leave, learns of a secret program that …. Whoops! No Spoilers! As one might imagine, the protagonist and her cohorts join forces to save humanity. I particularly enjoyed the fact that science, politics, psychology, spirituality, and psychic development are all key players in the drama — a little Celestine Prophecies, a little Contact. Since Cloud Hands is the first of a three-book series, there’s a bit of a cliff-hanger (though, thankfully, it’s not excruciating). I find myself reflecting on the ideas that Nelson introduces in the story and I’ll be listening to this book again. Cloud Hands was both interesting and engaging. I’m definitely looking forward to future installments of the Disclosure Files Trilogy to find out how everything’s unfolds!
