This was mostly an ok read. Interesting take on the whole Area 51 plot. Basically, the story is a guy, whose father had been kidnapped by aliens, is now captured by the government that has an interest in his DNA. The government has been keeping aliens and their technology underground for years. The guy decides to escape with help from some of the aliens.
The cynical tones were a different take, but it does get a bit on the heavy side after a while; some readers may or not like that. There is some dark humor as well which I think some readers will like. While this may remind some readers of The X-Files or Men in Black, the tone is darker in terms of the humor and cynicism. But it is an interesting read overall. And it's quick.

Where does one start with this one? Describing is difficult, I mean, the chain-smoking, chocolate obsessed little grey alien, or the guy whose balls may be explosive and may save the world? Ummmm.
It’s a unique little book. Not to everyone’s taste. The artwork can make the story a little harder to follow, and it’s definitely a strange ending.
But at least now I have a hilarious image in my head from part of the climax, in which two types of aliens are bent on coming to earth for assorted reasons.
No, I’m not telling you what happened.

This was a fun little science fiction story with great Templesmith art throughout. The plot isn't anything to write home about, but the characters (particularly the captive aliens) are delightful enough to make up for it.
