"What if all the alien conspiracies are real?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Alien Secrets
Ian Douglas

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley

Science Fiction

US Navy Lieutenant Commander Mark Hunter’s world turned upside down during a secret mission in North Korea. He and his team were sent to a North Korean test site when events take a startling change. Surely Mark and his team didn’t witness a spaceship with aliens! However, the team’s return and subsequent debriefing leaves Mark with more questions than answers. Mark soon finds himself part of a secret organization with a mission that has direct ties to the horrors of Nazi Germany. Can Mark and his new team help save humanity?

I thought I was at least aware of many UFO conspiracy theories until I read ALIEN SECRETS. Be prepared to do some googling, although Ian Douglas provides enough background for most readers to understand what he’s referencing. The complexity of the world building is breath-taking, especially considering the scope and breadth of space and time explored. I’m normally not a fan of Nazi conspiracy theories, but Ian Douglas does a marvelous job at fleshing out his characters as well as the events themselves.

And the aliens… I don’t even know where to start with the aliens except that the mind of Ian Douglas is obviously a fascinating place! Some of his creations are Stephen King horror-worthy, while others are both fascinatingly unique and quite unexpected. It took a little longer to meet the aliens than I would have liked, but the wait is well worth it!

ALIEN SECRETS is the first book in the Solar Warden series and is a fascinating take on the theme of alien visitation. Ian Douglas does a marvelous job at blending together the past, present, and even the future as he crafts a science fiction story very unlike any other I’ve read. If you love alien-themed science fiction, then Ian Douglas has a real treat in store for you!

SUMMARY

In the first novel in New York Times bestselling author Ian Douglas’ Solar Warden series, government conspiracy theories, UFO history, and thrilling space combat come together in an unforgettable interstellar military science fiction adventure.

THE TRUTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN HERE

In the final days of World War II, the Allies ransacked Berlin. Third Reich scientists were highly sought- out prizes for Americans and Russians desperate to possess the Nazi knowledge of nuclear firepower. But they failed to capture one of the most vital members of Adolf Hitler’s inner circle: SS Obergruppenfuhrer Hans Kammler. One of the engineers of Auschwitz, Kammler was also a liaison with the Nazis’ silent partners whose technological wonders nearly helped the Axis win the war—the alien species the Germans called the Eidechse.   

More than seven decades later, U. S. Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Mark Hunter has witnessed the impossible. On a mission in North Korea, an unidentified flying object destroyed a compound developing weapons of mass destruction. Now, he has been recruited to join a government agency that has been harboring a secret alliance with extraterrestrials since 1947. Selected to lead an elite force of soldiers, Hunter will travel across the stars to help humanity stake its claim among greater intelligent life in the universe.

But the aliens who have infiltrated Earth and guided war mongering nations since the twentieth century have their own agendas…
