Area 51

Late in the 1940s, nine unidentified vehicles were recovered from Antarctica. Their makers were unknown, and the American government responded by founding Area 51, a classified facility dedicated to examining what the craft had left behind. Hans Von Seeckt is the sole remaining member of the original secret research committee. He has watched one of these machines take to the air and has seen a run of strange, inexplicable events that no one has been able to explain.

Von Seeckt now believes the mothership's technology lies beyond human understanding and could endanger the whole planet. With little time left, he sets out to uncover how the vessel works and, in doing so, to learn where humanity itself came from.
