The Deondren Gene

Thaddeous Daniels, a black criminal defense attorney with a reputation of being unbeatable, becomes entangled in a mystery of his own making initially which mushrooms out of his control. His latest trial involved an attempted murder charge against an Armenian. The victim was a high ranking member of a group known only as the Collective. The Collective was a group of misfit Ivy League black intellectuals who were organized in order to ponder the hidden meaning of life. The members of the Collective were racists, they did not associate with other races. The Collective financed its operation by the production of a single household item each year that were always very successful. The Collective also had a number of secret financial dealings and businesses which also helped finance its operations. But the Collective is really a straw company for a race of Aliens known as Deondrens. The Deondrens sought to use the Collective to accomplish their goals on earth after centuries of involvement with the earth. Thaddeous was the missing link for the Deondrens and the Collective. The Deondrens long term goals involved Thaddeous being unbeatable in the court room as they sought a home on earth. The Deondren Gene remains a mystery until the end.
