"Warning from the Stars" by Ron Cocking is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the themes of interstellar communication, scientific ethics, and the potential consequences of atomic warfare. It delves into the idea of advanced extraterrestrial beings intervening in human affairs to prevent self-destruction and to guide humanity towards a more peaceful coexistence. The narrative follows Dr. Richard Forster, an aviation medicine specialist who discovers a mysterious container with a message from his supposedly deceased colleague, James Rawdon Bentley. The message reveals that Bentley and others have been abducted by a highly evolved extraterrestrial civilization, referred to as "The Shining Ones," who intend to remove key scientists from Earth to halt nuclear weaponization and prevent impending disaster. As Forster grapples with the implications of this revelation, the novel unfolds with a mixture of suspense and philosophical inquiry, ultimately culminating in a dramatic resolution where peace talks between East and West are unexpectedly facilitated by the alien intervention.

Reading ease score: 73.0 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
