Summary

From New York Times bestsellers Preston and Child, archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson are tasked with the mysterious deaths of two people found at a site where a UFO allegedly crashed decades before.

Lucas Tappan, a wealthy and eccentric billionaire and founder of Icarus Space Systems, approaches the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute with an outlandish proposal—to finance a careful, scientific excavation of the Roswell Incident site, where a UFO is alleged to have crashed in 1947. A skeptical Nora Kelly, to her great annoyance, is tasked with the job. 

Nora's excavation immediately uncovers two murder victims buried at the site, faces and hands obliterated with acid to erase their identities. Special Agent Corrie Swanson is assigned to the case. As Nora’s excavation proceeds, uncovering things both bizarre and seemingly inexplicable, Corrie’s homicide investigation throws open a Pandora's box of espionage and violence, uncovering bloody traces of a powerful force that will stop at nothing to protect its secrets—and that threatens to engulf them all in an unimaginable fate.

    Another well written book by Lincoln and Child.
  • Excellent Writers, But Not Their Best Work

    Their writing is so fluent that it’s easy to forgive a fairly weak storyline. Still, love these writers.
  • Excellent cliff-hanger!

    I love good fiction and science fiction, and this was a well crafted blend of the two. I have a friend who actually grew up on the ranch next to where the Roswell site was and who’s father knew the man who discovered the actual, original wreckage! This was an Excellent read read in my opinion. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to bring in Pendergast at the end! Thanks.
  • It’s a good book

    Don’t expect too much from it. It has its highs and lows.
  • Weak story line

    Not much of a story line here. The last books had much more plot and character development.

    This was entertaining but mostly nonsensical. It kept my attention just to see the conclusion. In the end it was rather vapid and ludicrous.

    Disappointing in the extreme. Too bad they destroyed what could have been a good series.
