All his life Coppola, Leader of the United Council for
Developing 
Worlds, has been paranoid about his enemies and makes sure to eliminate 
them before they become a threat.  His current concern is Leumas who 
wants to reform the First Contact process.  With Leumas beginning to 
gain a following, Coppola decides to destroy his latest opponent and 
foster his plan for dictatorial domination.

   Leumas is assigned to develop the Earth as a partner. The project is 
a shocker because Leumas never heard of the planet.  He soon learns that 
contact occurred in 1936 Earth time.  Agents of Coppola used Eva Braun 
to help Hitler, but they misjudged the maniac and regretfully millions 
died because of that error.  Coppola left two agents behind to clean up 
the mess before the council learns about the earth debacle.  However, 
the two agents vanished, married Americans, and sired a child each.  In 
1992 they both die, but a decade later Leumas trains their children, 
Greg and Sarah, in order to stop a dangerous megalomaniac from 
succeeding in a quest to totally control the Council.
   

   GET OUT OF MY MIND is an exciting, offbeat science fiction thriller 
that centers on the offsprings of earth females and aliens struggling to 
learn a different way of life.  In many ways, this futuristic tale is 
actually a powerful political thriller as the stagnant council 
noncommittally debates two distinct paths each led by a charismatic 
leader.  In his debut as a novelist, Tony Ruggiero has written an 
exciting plot with strong characters that genre fans will devour and 
will demand more Council visits to other worlds.
