America has hidden a secret for more than 60 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory: the recovery of a crashed alien ship and the new technology it may offer to humanity. Labeled the âRho Project,â the President has decided to reveal some of this technology to the world, the first piece of which is the successful use of cold fusion as an energy source. While this is heralded as a âgreenâ energy source, there are those whose livelihoods would be damaged by the resulting decline in demand for oil. While this is going on, 3 high school students make a startling discovery in a desert cave: a second alien ship, possibly the one who caused the damage present on the one at Los Alamos. Their exploration of the ship leads to an enhancement of their apparent dormant abilities and their discovery of unauthorized human experimentation by the lab director puts their lives at risk. The students have unwittingly become involved in a conspiracy centered at the highest levels of government and may be the key to humanity's survival.
The Second Ship by Richard Phillips is the first book in his Rho Agenda trilogy. If you are a sci-fi fan or believe that more happened at Roswell in 1948 then has been revealed, this book is a must read. Phillips is a native of Roswell, NM and as such is uniquely qualified to write a book centered on the famed crash of 1948. I myself have also wondered if the public will ever know the truth about the Roswell incident. Phillips takes the crash and runs with it, painting a fascinating version of what might have become of recovered craft. No book of this type would be complete without an unauthorized experiment or two and this book has them in spades. Throw in agents of the NSA and a political fight in the nation's capitol and you have a book that you can hardly put down. I look forward to reading the next installment of The Rho Agenda and predict this author will be around for a long time to come. This book definitely gets two thumbs up from me.
