Just check your gun and parachute, take a deep breath and jump in to a whole world of history, deception and thrills. This is fast, fun and fascinating thriller writing at its most original. * Sam Christer, bestselling author of The Stonehenge Legacy * Morrison's novel is a very contemporary take on this murky affair that is both intriguing and a rip-roaring thriller in its own right. * CHOICE magazine on The Roswell Conspiracy *More details
