And now Nora Kelly really gets into the faster-paced, bigger picture and not a little bit silly Preston-Child page-turning universe. As usual, I spent the last 200 pages or so reading and doing nothing else. Given the geographic location and nature of the story and some of the agencies the characters were associated with, I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t a cameo by warrior-spy-monk Wyman Ford, but, oh well. That’s more on me than the authors. I just miss that guy.

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!
