Area 51: Redemption - Paperback

by Bob Mayer (Author)

**Humanity has defeated the alien Airlia. The war is over. Earth is free. But when an alien Battle Core enters the solar system bent on humanity's extinction, Major Mike Turcotte discovers the real fight for survival is just beginning.**

On Mars, Major Turcotte destroyed the Airlia communications array and prevented reinforcements from reaching Earth. The alien occupation that lasted ten thousand years is finally over. Lisa Duncan, the woman he loved, sacrificed herself by crashing the mothership into Mars to ensure humanity's victory.

Or so he thought.

**The victory was a lie. And the real enemy is just arriving.**

Deep in the Cydonia base on Mars, Nyx-the last surviving Airlia-watches humanity tear itself apart in World War III. She's spent millennia studying humans, trying to understand what makes them capable of both extraordinary compassion and unspeakable cruelty. Now, as scout ships from an Airlia Battle Core enter the system to exterminate all "Scale" life on Earth, she faces an impossible choice: let her own species destroy the humans she's come to understand, or betray the Empire that is her entire existence.

On Earth, the mysterious and impossibly wealthy Mrs. Parrish has her own agenda. With resources that dwarf governments and technology that rivals the aliens', she's secured the crippled mothership and the deadly talon. But is she humanity's savior or its next threat? As Turcotte discovers the hard way, not all enemies are aliens-and not all humans can be trusted.

**Fourteen million dead. Nations falling. Humanity at war with itself. And the real battle hasn't even started.**

From the red dust of Mars to the hidden bunkers of Dreamland, Texas, from the halls of the fractured United Nations to Nikola Tesla's secret weapon, Area 51: Redemption explodes across the solar system in a desperate race against time. With scout ships probing Earth's defenses and a Battle Core preparing to sterilize the planet, Turcotte must unite fractured allies, navigate deadly betrayals, and make an alliance with the last Airlia on Mars-a being who has spent ten thousand years trying to understand the one thing that might save humanity.

But can humans stop killing each other long enough to face extinction?

**Some studied us. Some enslaved us. One might save us. If we let her.**

Featuring Nosferatu, the ancient Airlia outcast hiding in the shadows of human history, and introducing Nyx, whose understanding of humanity's greatest strength-and fatal flaw-may be the key to survival. With Tesla technology weaponized, the Grail's power unleashed, and a blind woman's guide dog who sees more than anyone suspects, Area 51: Redemption delivers pulse-pounding action, mind-bending alien technology, and the ultimate question: what makes us human?

**Perfect for fans of Andy Weir's The Martian meets Independence Day with the conspiracy intrigue of The X-Files.**

*When the alien invasion finally arrives, will humanity be too busy destroying itself to notice?*
