Among those details the ones I recall more was the super capability of Turcotte (the special force operative) to defeat one of the most secure headquarters on Earth; the characters outside militar procedures felt a bit simple. Book 2 solved for me those little details, most of the characters feel more solid and real, except Major Quinn who rather than a major seems a kind of servant eager to please, which seems strange considering his power; and now it is not Turcotte against the world but teams and organizations against each other, but without sacrificing the heroism and boldness of Turcotte.You could be wondering what the story is about if you have note read the first book. This is about a what if, what if all the old mysteries of humanity past could be set by the interference of an alien race that maybe could come back, in a scary way as our past seems not of an utopia but of an alteration. Area 51 has some recovered artifacts and a plan is set in motion that could threaten the world. That is book 1, book 2 is about the consequences, an alien computer is recovered and powered, it sends a message and it gets a reply :S If real humanity history proofs something is that technological development doesn't equal to social development or kindness. This book is the second in the series but feels like the last as everything is like going towards an explosive final.One thing I like in contrast to the first book I read in the series time ago (Nosferatu, book 8) is that the editions gets updated, with less or no errors in the content I could detect. Also I like the choice of names of the characters by the author, they are almost musical and easy to remember. I usually forget the names in the books but for these series I can recall Mike Turcotte, Lisa Duncan or Kelly Reynolds quite easily. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special Forces & Sci-Fi: A great combination! *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2013* I am really enjoying this series. I know Bob first wrote these stories years ago, but they are brand new to me. I picked up books 2 to 5 last week when they went on sale! I immediately started reading The Reply. Very good storyline. Just enough action to satisfy the action junkie in me, and I love the Indiana Jones type travel & adventure aspects as well. And of course, the Aliens.I have now read 8 Bob Mayer novels and have enjoyed them all. I have given all 8 either 4 or 5 star reviews. And lucky me, I have another 14 or so Bob Mayer books on my Kindle just ITCHING to be read. Whenever I come across a sub-par effort from another author, I always point to Bob Mayer, who cannot write a bad or even average book. A very good well rounded writer that never disappoints his readers.My only "negative" comment is on the formatting: I find it awkward at times how the story shifts between locales without any notice. Of course you get chapter breaks, and then sometimes the formatting has "***" in-between paragraphs to let the reader know that the local/characters have changed. But most often the formatting does not do this. For example: Captain Turcotte will be fighting in a temple deep into China, blazing away and facing a life and death situation. Then the very next sentence (which starts a new paragraph immediately following the Turoctte paragraphs (with no spacing between)) will have the reporter Kelly Reynolds (in Area 51) say something to a goverment official. It jars the reader for a second who was caught up in one storyline to suddenly change storylines with no notice of the locales changing. It did appear in the last 20% or so of the book that the formatting was better controled and I saw more "***" breaks than I saw in the previous 80% of the book.Other than that, I loved this series. I was planning on reading the 3rd book in the Atlantis series  ATLANTIS: DEVIL'S SEA , but got caught up in the Area 51 series. Two more things, the aliens are certainly not goofy and no cute kids to ruin the storyline (as seen in  Nightstalkers: The Book of Truths (Area 51 series) ) (it was hard to take the aliens seriously in Nightstalkers - I mean come on, a horseshoe and a bunny, both controlled by aliens?). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Turcotte better than Ryan or Reacher *by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023* Tom Clancy meets Independence Day! Love how the knowledge of military capabilities is mixed in with the UFO mythos.
