Area 51 by Bob Mayer

4.0

After reading The Jefferson Allegiance I sought out other books by Bob Mayer and picked Area 51, which is the first of a series of nine books. Being hooked, I kept reading one book after another in the series until I was through all nine. The book (and series) starts with the disclosure that the rumors about Area 51 are true. The U.S. does have an alien space craft there where we learn a secret government agency is working hard to learn how to fly. The book's heros, a Green Beret named Mike Turcott and the President's science advisor Lisa Duncan, unravel the mystery of Area 51 and in the process discover how much human history relates to an alien race. Through the series the "truth" behind legends like Excalibur and landmarks like the Pyramids are revealed.
