The Alien Emerald 2: The Silver Staff

The Alien Emerald 2: The Silver Staff is the sequel to The Alien Emerald. It takes place about one year after the events if the first book and provides more information about the Ashirmans than the first.

 Summary 

In the year 2685, Gosham and Heekem, two of Oncar's highest ranked Ashirman followers, warn Oncar that The Eyes and Ears have predicted that someone would attempt to assassinate him a year later. They go on to say that in about 13 years, he would be killed by three children from the past (Paul, Bazzil, and Melissa). Oncar sends Gosham, Heekem, and a small army of Ashirmans to the year 2013 with the Silver Staff to find the three children, capture them, and take them to 2685.

The army of Ashirmans take shelter in the abandoned system of tunnels underneath the Plymouth Museum of Science and History. The police search the museum, but they do not know that the museum is there. The FBI contacts Bill Trundle, Paul Ginuous, Bazzil Kuckoo, and Melissa Kern, since they are the only four civilians who know about the Ashirman Emerald. Bill, and a police officer named Frank Jones take Paul to an old storm drain which will take him to the tunnels so that he can plant a camera there while Bazzil and Melissa wait in the museum.

Melissa and Bazzil begin to think that they have been tricked. They go into the secret tunnels under the museum themselves and are captured by the Ashirmans. Meanwhile, Paul sneaks through the old storm drain to the caves and overhears a conversation between Gosham and Heekem.

Oncar put Gosham in charge of the army, but Heekem is constantly trying to take Gosham's place. Heekem's constant questioning of Gosham's techniques and Gosham's short temper result in a weak defense, allowing Bazzil and Melissa to escape. However, in the confusion, Paul disappears.
