review 1: I found this a very interesting read; I am not someone who would normally read sci-fi books OR military secret ops type of books, but when I read the description on this I couldn't resist. I am not sure how much of this novel is truth; it claims to be fictionalized nonfiction... but could also be fiction posing as fact. No matter; it was a page turner that had my interest from the get-go. I am now looking to find more, similar type books to read and see what I can learn about this type of military activity. I don't want to spoiler, so I will leave it at that... But if you are at all interested in mind control, military ops, or Area 51 type information, you will most likely enjoy this book.
review 2: Ben Skyles flew to Las Vegas after work one day to meet Janice
... more Yang - recently his sympathetic shoulder. And a good listener. But he tenses when a man he thinks he knows comes to their table for a brief chat. Skyles leaves suddenly, Janice quickly follows. Her exit route, which included a ladies room, removable ceiling tiles and a back way out through the kitchen, confirmed her intentions. The near future will see Yee Yang (AKA Janice Yang, Chinese spy) returned to her homeland, leaving her memories behind. And Skyles doesn't know what he remembers. He has no control over his mind, tuning in to reality takes some assistance. He is lost. Damien Owens cannot fix this problem if he cannot find it's origin. He actually feels badly for Skyles then berates himself - Owens rarely allows emotion, it only complicates his job. And that job includes tight security. He is aware, while he is certain of the vital need to maintain the utmost secrecy, there are factions attempting to breach it, pointing to the public's right to know their money has been funneled into "special projects" using a black budget. When questioned about a specific project or how the funding was being used, 'Classified' was no longer quietly accepted. Groom Lake (Area 51) and it's UFO connection have always been shrouded in secrecy. Owens works hard to keep it that way, under the radar, attracting little attention, known to few, accountable to, well, even fewer? This story has to engage your brain, prompt you to examine your own thoughts and feelings concerning a numbers of issues. Are PAC's used by large donors to (if not buy) place politicians in the donor's debt? Are there too many secrets? Should there be any? How much can the average person comprehend? I remember hearing something like 'A person is smart; people are stupid, herd mentality, fear driven'. What would be the advantage to terrifying the populace? Should technological research be shared scientist to scientist or should this knowledge be hoarded will governments go around like children with 'Mine, Mine, Mine' echoing around the world? This story is wild - fast paced, intelligent, well written and full of surprises. The Area 51/UFOs/mind control methods are fascinating. I must be a terrible cynic - the black budgets, the secret projects, corporate interests - I've taken this nightmare for granted most of my life. Until elected officials actually respect those who have elected them, nothing will change in a positive manner. less
