Publisher's Synopsis
On July 4th 2007, fifty thousand people visited Roswell, New Mexico to observe both Independence Day the fiftieth anniversary of the fabled UFO crash. The government claims the happenings in the hardscrabble countryside near there in the summer of 1957 reflected only a mass hysteria fueled by sensationalistic media accounts. UFOlogists say the government and unspecified earthly organizations lied to avoid panic and retain power. Since good stories turn on the "what if?" and reality often mimics imagination, might not we ask if any deception extended beyond terrestrial institutions to include the alien visitors themselves, and if so, question their motives?
One thing seems certain: A few short years after the "crash", human technology suddenly and without historical precedence, morphed into the Merlinesque sorcery we know today.
It makes one wonder what life would be like if all the vital new connections, in a single instant fell deathly silent. Are you ready?
