After
the 1908 Tunguska blast levels a Siberian forest the size of London, a Russian
scientist makes an amazing discovery amongst the debris. In 1947, ten-year-old
Fay Allen of Roswell, New Mexico, witnesses the fiery crash of an extraordinary
craft unlike anything she's ever seen. More than sixty years later, former Army
combat engineer Tyler Locke rescues Fay from gunmen who are after a piece of
wreckage she claims is from the Roswell incident. Incredulous of her tale,
Tyler believes the attack on Fay is nothing more than a burglary gone wrong.
But when he finds himself locked in the back of a truck carrying a hundred tons
of explosives and heading for a top secret American base, Tyler knows that he
has stumbled onto the opening gambit of something more sinister than he ever
imagined. Because disgraced Russian spy Vladimir Colchev is after an Air Force
prototype code-named Killswitch, an electromagnetic pulse weapon of
unprecedented power. Although Tyler is able to avert catastrophe at the US
facility, Colchev gets away with the bomb and plans to turn it on America
itself. To complete his mission, he needs only one other key component, a
mysterious object recovered from the Roswell crash. In a desperate race against
time, Tyler must unmask a conspiracy a century in the making to rescue the
United States from electronic Armageddon.
The Roswell Conspiracy sucked me in at the beginning and
kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
It’s a bit of Indiana Jones meets Tom Clancy. Okay, that’s a bit of a mixed metaphor—or
maybe not, considering the tone of the last Indiana Jones movie. At any rate, as the blurb says—it’s full of
spies, action, archaeology, and Roswell theories. And it’s a good read, although I was
disappointed at the end. I felt there
was a loose end left dangling. Was there
another mole in the OSI (The Air Force equivalent of the Navy’s NCIS)? I missed the answer, and I had a theory about
who it was. If you read it and find the
answer, please let me know and I’ll revise my review. But for now, it bugs me to have been left
with an unanswered question and an unproven theory.
