The Second Ship

The Rho Agenda, Book 1

In 1948, an alien starship crash-landed in the New Mexico desert and brought with it the key to mankind’s future. Code-named the Rho Project, the landing was shrouded in secrecy, and only the highest-ranking US government and military personnel knew it existed. Until now.

The US president is preparing to unveil one of the nation’s greatest secrets when three students stumble across the wreckage of a second ship outside of Los Alamos. With a single touch, the alien technology the government has spent untold resources trying to unlock is uploaded into the minds of three teenagers — teenagers who now know the frightening truth about the Rho Project.The battle for humanity has begun.

Good story , unbelievable characters

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes and no. I like the story but clearly the author knows nothing about teenagers and family life around teenagers...these children are just too polite and too perfect.

What did you like best about this story?

The underlying these is complicated and holds a lot of scientific imagination without being overly descriptive.

Did The Second Ship inspire you to do anything?

It was good enough to buy the second book Immune, which I think is better with more action and imagination.

Any additional comments?

The first book made my teeth grit with all the herbal tea, getting up early to watch the sun rise and gluey politeness of the main character Heather. I also find it a little unbelievable that such intelligent science whiz kids would consider religion.So good story on the one hand, unbelievable characters on the other.

Excellent book!

Fantastic story. I was completely unaware of this author or series I enjoyed the characters, as well.as good story development, highly enjoyable!

left me wanting more

kept me interested throughout. character motivations were too vague though especially the villians. they obviously intensely evil but I couldn't understand why.. perhaps in later books the author will explain.

Entertaining and Engaging

Entertaining and engaging. It reminds me of a Daniel Suarez novel in its pace, but without the sense that this could really happen and less thought provoking.

Awesome

Great! Perfect mixture of suspense and lighthearted story! I really enjoyed the story. The scary parts reminded me of Dean Koontz.
