Although this book started a little slow, it kicked in around the 30% mark and just kept getting better and better. Combining the Roswell Incident, the H-bomb, Cold War spies, UAPs, and a secret military organization, it’s a riveting adventure full of pulse-pounding moments and far-flung conspiracies.
Although this is the third Nora Kelly/Corrie Swanson adventure, you don’t need to be familiar with the previous books. Archaeologist Nora is recruited by an eccentric billionaire to excavate a dig at Roswell. When two bodies are unearthed, Corrie is called in from the FBI. This is when the train really starts rolling.
I loved the introduction of new character, adventurer/billionaire Lucas Tappan, and it was great to see the return of fast-draw sheriff, Homer Watts. Nora’s brother, Skip, gets several moments to shine, and who can resist having Mitty, the dog, tag along?
There’s plenty of danger, dollops of sci-fi, intrigue, duplicity, bad guys to “boo,” and two clever heroines to cheer for. I love the fact that neither Nora nor Corrie are written as “kick-butt” characters, but rather as smart, professional women willing to take risks.
Break out the popcorn and enjoy the ride. I can’t wait to see where this series heads next!

Meh. Aliens landing at Roswell? An overdone plot, in my opinion. Not as many archaeological details or forensic science as in previous books. They can do better.
4.5⭐
Another winner with the third Nora Kelly book! A highly entertaining and action-packed mystery surrounding an archaeological site from the 40s and UFOs!
In Diablo Mesa Nora reluctantly accepts a new archaeological project. Digging The Roswell site where a UFO crashed in 1947 is not what she wants on her resume. Skip, her brother has already joined to assist Noam Bitan the artifact curator. The project is funded by a young billionaire and founder of Icarus Space Systems, Lucas Tappan. Shortly after they started the team discovered two bodies at the site and a colleague, Special Agent Corrie Swanson was contacted.
I admit this was rather an unusual entry, but I loved it. Government cover-up, secret agency, and spies. I didn't know what to think nor did I predict how the story will unfold. This can be read as a standalone thriller. Highly recommend it if you enjoy a fast-paced plot, action, and well-developed characters with UFO storyline. A must read for Preston & Child fans!
