I read the sample and I can already tell it's a good read. Love anything about UFOs anyway. Thanks for the great review!

I have always believed that there is other life out there. Why not? It is a huge universe and why would we on Earth be the only ones that exist? Great review! Book sounds like it is definitely worth a read!

Great review. Thanks to the review and the sample from Amazon I am definitely buying this book and can't wait to jump into it. I love science fiction and thrillers so mixing the two together is my cup of tea. Congrats on being BOTD!

Thanks for the great review - love that it was informative yet not too lengthy! I read the sample of this one and am very excited to read the rest. I like that this isn't a typical action packed sic-fi novel; excited to see where the story goes!

Sounds intriguing! It is great that the author "captivates his audience with a tale that builds in quiet intensity until the climax".

Good job on the review!

Great r! From everything you said about this book I really think that I'm going to download it today. I do love a good Sci-fi read, especially when it's full of conspiracy and surprises like you mentioned at the climax and ending. Also with a little romance and comic relief? What's not to love? Thank you for sharing. :)

I like the idea of no combat scenes. I think this book will move well in the ranks of Amazon...many people seem to be convinced that the government is keeping aliens a secret from us all!:-) Never know...

Congrats to the author on BOTD!

SciFi is one of my favorite genres. I like a lot of different types of books and I will read pretty much anything; but SciFi is a go to, right after horror for me. Thanks for the review!

Thank you for the great review! Though this is not my favorite genre, the concept of these hidden tapes from President Kennedy meeting with those tracking extraterrestrial visiting to Earth is definitely intriguing. I also love the surprising climax ending comment; excitement and surprising are great qualities in a book. Congratulations to the author for receiving such a positive review!

This sounds like a fantastic sci-fi book. As a fan of X Files and Close Encounters, I am downloading and reading this book. I always love reading a book that has been edited well. You did a great job on the review. :D
