Book Description A military research base known as Area 51 really does exist on the outskirts of Groom Lake in the Nevada desert, but despite what conspiracy theorists would have you believe — it's the dullest place on Earth. There have been three extraterrestrial encounters since 1947, all involving accidental UFO crashes and dead aliens. There has been no real contact with other life forms... All that's about to change. When audio technician Corporal Thomas Bierce accidentally receives an extraterrestrial signal in an attempt to install General Redd Wilson's stereo, the entire base goes haywire. Can they communicate on any level? Will the aliens be hostile or friendly? Each side of the debate — military, scientific, religious, political — comes out as the stress level of Area 51 employees goes from 0-60 in 2.8 nanoseconds. When scientist Sarah Corley discovers the path and speed of the alien signal and realizes a ship will be arriving on Earth in 24 hours, things get out of control. In Lucy Morgan's debut novel, complex characters argue with themselves and others as the organization tries to work together to either welcome or destroy these interstellar visitors. With any luck, you'll fall in love with the quirky citizens of Groom Lake, NV just like we did! |
