In 1948, an alien starship fell from the New Mexico sky—and immediately vanished behind the walls of the Los Alamos Laboratory. Since that day the US military has endeavored to reverse engineer the ship’s alien technology through top-secret research known only as the Rho Project. Now, decades after the crash, the government is prepared tell all.
Or so it claims…
For there is a second ship, hidden for all these years, just out of the military’s reach. And when a trio of students discovers it buried deep inside a remote canyon, they are changed forever. With a single touch, the technology the government has spent billions trying to unlock is uploaded into the minds of three teenagers—teenagers who now know the frightening truth about the Rho Project. When the NSA black-ops team of Jack “The Ripper” Gregory and Janet Price come calling, they are thrust into a violent world of secrets and corruption, becoming reluctant soldiers in a war destined to alter what it means to be human.

"I read it sorta fast, but that was because I like the storyline. The characters seem to well developed. There were a couple of times that the story seemed to switch out of sequence. Maybe it was because I read it too fast in those areas. Overall, it read well." — Wayne (4 out of 5 stars)

" The story starts off slow. This is only part one. Keep reading. "
" I liked the story, some sci fi but I didn't care for the attitudes of the teens. But overall it was good. Just beware nthere are 3 books to finish the story and the third book has not yet been published "
" A lot of fun, with great characters. Normally the high-schoolers as heroes thing just annoys me, but I liked it in this book... "
" An original concept, but juvenile character development and some pretty lame writing. "
" Almost too campy. A fun romp but not great. Kept me busy on a long day of flying. "
" A quick read that you don't want to put down. There is always something going on and always something coming up. Looking forward to the next 2 books. "
" This is a very exciting book. "
" Intriguing sci fi, good characters that didn't get irritating, you could tell the author had military knowledge. Loved all the secret agent stuff. "
" Good interesting story line, but did not like the writing style. Am interested to see what happens in the next book and if the writing improves. Will set the series aside for a while and maybe come back to it later "
" This was a pretty decent sci-fi novel but I'm hoping that the second book is a bit better. I certainly cruised through this one but I was not necessarily enamored and / or thrilled either. The science part of this book is decent. "
" What a great start to this trilogy. I'm staying with it, and book 2 will be my next read. "
" I cannot say it was a really bad book but I wasn't really too impressed with it either. I will probably not read the next one in the series. "
" Good story. A different view of alien encounters. Fast paced and entertaining. I also read the next book Inmune. "
" A really fast paced piece of sci fi action. Just enough informatn to make things flow and to keep you guessing. One of the few books i have read that has teenagers as the main characters that doesnt feel like im watching a crappy soap opera. "
" It was a great company during my last trip. Easy to read, the main idea is fun to follow and the author does not get into too much detail on the science. Guess will keep reading the rest of the books on the trilogy. "
" excellent read ... edge of my seat stuff on my kindle and I enjoyed every page ... annoyed that book 3 isn't out yet! I'll be back! "
" This is a great character study with an interesting plot. I am not really a si-fi fan; however, I really enjoyed this book. "
" Good characters in a fun read. The style is somewhere between adult and young adult. The science isn't exact, but a fun read doesn't have to be entirely exact. "
" At first you would think that this is an Enid Blyton Famous Five book. All that is missing is Timmy the dog. But it does get quite gritty after a while. With a good plot and an easy going style this is a pleasant read for fans of good old fashioned sci fi. "
