For sixty years, the National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, has been investigating the powerful technologies of a damaged alien ship, an effort dubbed the “Rho Project.” Now, the American government is ready to share the Rho Project discoveries with the world. But as the world scrambles to adopt the alien technologies, three high schoolers make another shocking hidden inside a cave in the New Mexico wilderness lies another alien ship. As the friends explore the second ship, they begin to unravel a decades-long secret involving an extraterrestrial war, government cover-ups, and secret experimentation using alien technology on humans. A battle has begun, and the secrets of the second ship may be the key to humanity’s last chance for survival.
This was a crackingly good story. It reminded me of the Animorphs, although for an older audience and with more mature and modern content. It’s very American, but that doesn’t bother me and I utterly enjoyed it. Book 2 will be consumed within a few weeks, I guarantee!
