Area 51 - Paperback

by Bob Mayer (Author)

Over 2 million copies sold worldwide. Screenplay by the writer of Alien and Total Recall.

Since before the dawn of modern man, an alien mothership and nine abandoned flying saucers have been hidden in Area 51, a top-secret military base deep in the Nevada desert. For decades, scientists have studied the crafts, hoping to unlock the secrets of alien technology-and perhaps the very origins of life on Earth.

But now a renegade general plans to activate the mothership's interstellar drive, and the consequences could prove catastrophic for all of humanity.

Dr. Hans Von Seeckt-an elderly ex-Nazi scientist and original member of the Area 51 research team-joins forces with the president's science adviser, Dr. Lisa Duncan, and hard-charging Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte in a desperate race to stop the test flight and expose the truth about Area 51 to the world.

Meanwhile, halfway around the globe, brilliant archaeologist Professor Nabinger deciphers a message carved in ancient Egyptian runes that could shatter everything we know about human evolution and the role alien visitors played in our past.

As military might collides with ancient mysteries, the team must unlock the secret of the alien craft before time runs out-not just for themselves, but for the future of mankind itself.

From New York Times bestselling author and former Green Beret Bob Mayer comes a breakneck military science fiction thriller that combines high-tech suspense, pulse-pounding action, and mind-bending archaeological mysteries. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, James Rollins, and The X-Files.
