Bueno, pero no era para mi.
Es un tema interesante en el cual hay muchas teorías.
Se utilizaban terminos demasiado científicos que no lograba entender, y eso se me hizo cansador a pesar de tener menos de 130 páginas.
Pero fue una buena historia y corta.

This story tell you how to get fired from Area 51 as well as telling a story. When our hero arrives he discovers a man in the area has had an encounter with aliens and has drawings that are exactly like the craft he is to help refit and test fly. His involvment with him make an interesting read. It is a short novella but I enjoyed it.
