Publisher's summary

A war is brewing, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

After years of hiding in plain sight, the alien race known as the Taus are finally ready to get off this planet. But before they do, they need one thing first. Carl.

No one could have imagined the true intentions of the Facebook event “Storm Area 51” or the dire consequences that would befall all those that came seeking answers beyond the gates.

Unaware and blinded by their own agendas, five strangers find themselves on a collision course, headed straight into the fray at the gates of Area 51. And a war they didn’t know they were fighting.

Will anyone survive?

Aliens Among Us?

This was an interesting take on what might have happened during the storming of Area 51. The authors have done a great job in imagining the event from various POV's. Are there aliens hidden there? Is the government hiding something?

One of the main characters of the book is a woman who claims to have been abducted by aliens as a child. She and a group of people who meet up on Facebook are determined to get to the truth of what is hidden behind the gates. Another POV is that of Elaine, a woman who witnesses her whole family being taken over by something (shades of Invasion of the Body Snatchers). She is just trying to find her young son before it is too late.

Then, you have a microbiologist who has been involved in experimentation on a being from another world called Carl. His conscience finally gets to him and he decides that he has to give Carl a chance to return home. And, of course , there is the alien himself, Carl. All of these characters meet up at Area 51 and things begin to reach a boiling point.

The authors did a good job of building tension and action as the story evolves. There is emotion, fear, terror, and sadness in these tales. I especially enjoyed the scene when Elaine encounters her "husband", Greg. You could feel the emotion between these two characters as Greg assists Elaine in her quest to find her son.

The narrator did a great job and added a lot to my enjoyment of these tales. I was given the chance to listen to this audiobook through Story Origins and chose to review it.

The truth is out there... or is it?

The storming of Area 51 told from multiple perspectives... including the “aliens”.

I thought the authors did a great job of having multiple storylines that all converge at a single event. It certainly got me thinking.

The narrator, Naomi Rose-Mock did a really nice job with performing each of the different perspectives and the characters differing emotions.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Entering Area 51

This book was a fun little idea of what could’ve happened with the storming of Area 51 as the Facebook group planned on doing.....or could it have? You decide what to believe!
