Upon the lonely moors of Scotland a youth is stabbed to death while investigating mysterious lights in the night sky. When police capture his killer they make a startling discovery: he speaks nothing but medieval English and his blood carries DNA that matches samples from the 15th Century. Hours later, amid more strange lights, the man vanishes from within a locked police cell, never to be seen again.
In the United States, the CIA is being held to ransom. Perfectly focussed images of Unidentified Flying Objects are being sent to Langley with a demand: provide full disclosure of what the government knows about UFOs or these images will go public.
Struggling with the task of identifying the perpetrators of the images, and aware that they must somehow know when and where UFOs will appear, the CIA sends General Scott Mackenzie in search of Ethan Warner and Nicola Lopez, the only known former US agents with the skills to track down the perpetrator. His mission; obtain the technology that is allowing someone to predict when and where UFOs will appear and ensure that nobody else can access it.
But as the investigation unfolds, so Ethan and Nicola learn that the Russians are also seeking the same technology. As a race against time develops to get the upper hand, victims of strange abduction events implore the government for help, including the parents of a seven-year-old girl who is suffering seizures and post-traumatic stress from her experiences. From the Indian Ocean to the lonely deserts of Utah, Scotland to Nevada, Ethan and Nicola discover the startling truth about alien abductions and UFO sightings, and realise that full disclosure isn’t about UFOs at all: the knowledge the CIA possesses will change the course of human history…
I have read all the Warner and Lopez series and loved them all, but this one blew me away. It has all the right stuff- U.F.O's, time travel, murder and mystery, all wrapped up in another un put downable read that is both intriguing and illuminating.
For me, the best yet, of the Warner & Lopez Adventures. If you enjoy a Sci Fi, you will really enjoy this book. Right from the beginning, you are taken on a journey from Scotland to Area 51 in Arizona. The journey is full of action, suspense with a little touch of lighthearted humour from Warner & Lopez. The ending Dean orchestrated was awesome, completely caught me of guard.
I give this series of books 5 stars because of the tremendous history lessons I receive within the science fiction story. Written as fiction but has truthful events, landscapes, military responses pieced into these action packed pages. Everyone who reads Isaac Asminov will really enjoy these books.
This was a most enjoyable though very different addition to the series. There was a drawing together of themes and ideas from previous books wholesome same time laying the foundation for more. I like the way in which in this book the protagonists are not quite part of the establishment and sit on the edge of power
Haven't read a Warner & Lopez story for a while and forgot how good they are! This story was right up my street with UFO Conspiracies and black ops, thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end!
Yet another theory on the reason for ufos which was actually quite interesting and readable. Time warps all and make greedy covert governments and even seedier other governments for the technology.
