Synopsis

The witnesses are legion, scattered across the world and dotted through history, people who looked up and saw something impossible lighting up the night sky. What those objects were, where they came from, and who—or what—might be inside them is the subject of fierce debate and equally fierce mockery, so that most who glimpsed them came to wish they hadn't.

Most, but not everyone.

Among those who know what they've seen, and are forever changed by it, are a pilot, an heiress, a journalist, and a prisoner of war. From the waning days of the twentieth century's final great war to the fraught fields of Afghanistan to the otherworldly secrets hidden amid Nevada's dusty neverlands—the truth that is out there will propel each of them into a labyrinth of otherworldly technology and the competing aims of those who might seek to prevent—or harness—these beings of unfathomable power. Because, as it turns out, we are not the only ones who can invent and build . . . and destroy.

Featuring actual events and other truths drawn from sources within the military and intelligence community, Tom DeLonge and A. J. Hartley offer a tale at once terrifying, fantastical, and perhaps all too real.

part Tom Clancy, part xfiles, this is a long novel very densely packed with plotting and characterization. the pacing is well done making it seem like a shorter book and the ending is, pardon the cliche action packed. also more titles to come yay!......more

Goodreads review by Kasey on February 27, 2016

I ordered one of the 100 advanced readers' copies from the publisher and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's essentially an adult thriller about the development of unidentified aerial phenomena and how it's overseen and kept secret by governments and financial institutions throughout history. This book part......more

Disclaimer: I am a believer. A believer that alien life exists and they have been visiting Earth as long as humanity has existed. Where to begin on this one? As I was listening to the excellent narration by Paul Castanzo, I kept thinking is this fiction or non-fiction? I came to the conclusion that i......more

........... .................That was fun. I haven't read a thriller this exciting and engrossing in a long time. As for the content...god, who knows. But Tom DeLonge (of Blink 182 fame) and his amazing ghost-writer A.J. Hartley crafted a superb entry into the genre of UFO lore. The authors tied togethe......more
