AURORA by Glover Wright New Paperback Edition What lies beneath Nevada's mysterious AREA 51 which for decades America has spent billions to stop being leaked to the world and protects with deadly force? Who are the dedicated "Keepers" literally born into the service of this secret state striving to develop knowledge at the farthest boundaries of human understanding gifted to them by one remarkable man's ultimate sacrifice. When Tom Mathison MD enters a solitary house at the mouth of Death Valley and hears the dying words of a man officially dead forty years before, he is plunged into a world of conspiracy and sudden death. Facing execution by sinister government agents in California's searing desert, hunted mercilessly from Louisiana swampland to Florida Keys, Mathison's headlong flight with Corrina Vincenti, the woman fate has bound him to protect, leads relentlessly to Washington. There it seems the President's intervention alone can save their lives . . . but the heart of the conspiracy beats within the White House itself. This is a conspiracy five decades old, born of a solemn vow made by each incumbent president never to allow, at any cost, the revelation of America's greatest secret. It is an awesome secret every human on earth might kill for and its Keepers are sworn to die rather than betray it. AURORA is its name. "One of the most remarkable and also quite terrifying thrillers I have read in a very long time. It reminds me of Ludlum at his best. Start it and you won't go to bed until it is finished."
