Robert Doherty [Bob Mayer] - Area 51 Series

epub & mobi



Long before The DaVinci Code, another writer was putting together puzzle pieces drawn from the most enduring mysteries of antiquity and modern mythology. The Area 51 Series does not purport to be fact, it's entirely fictional and that allows its author license to bend the data as he chooses. Fortunately, this only adds to the fun, and quite often the ingenious linkages he comes up with make a seductive kind of sense. Doherty's legend peppered prose is filled with wonderfully entertaining cod science, shoring up an endlessly twisting plot strewn with edge-of-the-seat scenarios. But don't think this is all macho military and gratuitous violence, as the series includes several strong female characters who use brain-power, all of whom are vital to the eventual outcome. The author does a fine job of mixing what we know in advance, as readers, and what we find out at the same time as the cast, making these the kind of books which are hard to put down.

Book 1 is Area 51

Area 51 is a set of rip-roaring adventures, which are intelligent enough to provide a feast for enquiring minds without the need for a degree in physics. Throughout, Doherty uses a relentless, action-based style, cleverly laced with the most fascinating landmarks, historical personalities and enduring legends.
