Review Summaries
"The fourth book in the "Area 51" series. The war continues, and now not only The Mission is the threat, but also The Ones Who Wait. The charactres continue to search for the truth and for the alien artifacts, but now they have a time constraint and failure may lead to a total destruction of the United States." irina, Resident Robert Doherty Scholar
