The book explores the motivation behind the secrecy of Area 51 (Groom Lake, Nevada). A reporter follows a lead from a freind and colleague who had been investigating Area 51. Events lead the reporter to team up with four other principle characters (a Special Ops soldier, 2 scientists and presidential science advisor) to expose the existence of alien technology under the control of a highly classified government agency.

The book comes to explain many of the facts yet unexplained in terms of being related to aliens. It connects continents and shows how there has to be understanding of unknown technology before its use.
