A review by stevenk
Alien Secrets by Ian Douglas

3.0

A solid start to a multi novel sci-fi story mixing together UFO and government conspiracy theories going back to WWII and the Nazi's with secret space fleets and extraterrestrial space combat action. This book is good hard sci-fi with a military edge although it has a time travel element the rules of when it is and when it is not possible seem a bit unclear. The world building is a mix of fast and slow but meant to take place over the course of a larger story with several alien species claiming earth as their home and many of the revelations leading to more mysteries. There are lots of characters that get a little mixed together until you sort out the important ones from the supporting characters but they all have their parts to play in the story. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.
