About this listen

The witnesses are legion, scattered across the world and dotted through history, people who looked up and saw something impossible lighting up the night sky. What those objects were, where they came from, and who - or what - might be inside them is the subject of fierce debate and equally fierce mockery, so that most who glimpsed them came to wish they hadn't.

Most, but not everyone.

Among those who know what they've seen and are forever changed by it are a pilot, an heiress, a journalist, and a prisoner of war. From the waning days of the 20th century's final great war to the fraught fields of Afghanistan to the otherworldly secrets hidden amid Nevada's dusty neverlands - the truth that is out there will propel each of them into a labyrinth of otherworldly technology and the competing aims of those who might seek to prevent - or harness - these beings of unfathomable power. Because, as it turns out, we are not the only ones who can invent and build and destroy.

Featuring actual events and other truths drawn from sources within the military and intelligence community, Tom DeLonge and A. J. Hartley offer a tale at once terrifying, fantastical, and perhaps all too real.

Critic reviews

"Twisted. Explosive. The best thriller of the year!" (Faith Hunter, New York Times best-selling author)
All stars

And highly recommended. Fast paced and entertaining with references to ufo lore.
It’s as if Jaques Valle wrote a (I know he has long time ago) science fiction novel

Highly underrated

Very much enjoyed this book. Good plot with satisfyingly familiar conspiratorial content. Looking forward to the movie!!

Really good...!

The 'Afterward' at the end of the book makes some sense of the books purpose. However, even without this, this was an enjoyable listen with the main characters, each with their own backgrounds, intertwining later on. it isn't the usual 'ufo' type of book for sure but a fictional (?) story that brings together the many reports and theories most people will have read about.
li wasn't sure I was going to like it at first but now I've finished found it to be enjoyable and worth a read. I'll certainly listen to the next one.

Not what I expected...but good!
