Synopsis

Colonel Mitchell’s face paled as he stared into the briefcase the President had just opened. The President’s voice seemed to fade into the background as Mitchell became mesmerized by what he saw. The President forcefully cleared his throat to get Mitchell’s attention. “Colonel…there are only three people on this planet who know that thing exists: you, the retired general who found it back in 1953, and me. As I explained earlier, the general, who’s dying of cancer, brought that to me only two days ago. After he told me his story, I immediately began the search for the best person I could find to head up an investigating team. You’re that person. “I believe that device you’re looking at is a key, not only to our national security but, perhaps, to the survival of humanity as we know it. I want you to know, I will bring to bear all the powers of the President’s office to help you with this project. You have carte blanche to assemble the best team you can to unlock the secrets hidden in that device as quickly as you can. Time is of the essence. Of course, security will be of utmost importance; I don’t want to set off a world-wide panic. Do you understand what I’m saying, Colonel?” When Mitchell looked up, the President’s eyes were bearing down on him. Mitchell hadn’t taken a breath since he set eyes on the device. He almost hissed as the air escaped from his lungs. The room around him came back into focus as he sucked air. His voice quivered, “Yes Sir …I…I’ll begin immediately.” He closed the briefcase, clasping it tightly as he left the office, his face still pale. Alone now, the President looked out of his window and stared across the White House lawn. Life on Pennsylvania Avenue still appeared normal. The usual assortment of protesters was there, pushing their causes by marching in circles and brandishing their pickets. As usual, the press cameras were there too, trying to catch whatever human interest stories they might find. The President was deep in thought. " I have a real human interest story to tell, if only I could. I wonder how much time we have? Perhaps it’s already too late. Perhaps the general’s the lucky one; he’ll be dead in three months." In 1953 an alien artifact was found next to a UFO that crashed near Kingman, Arizona. The captain overseeing the recovery felt the device was more important than the craft itself and hid it on his person. Jump ahead to present time and he is a retired general, dying of cancer. He is concerned because he has been reading about abductees who, under hypnosis, have reveled that the aliens are about to make their presence known. The general sees this as a threat to humanity and takes the device to the President. The President is equally concerned that this is not only a threat to our national security but to all of humanity and commissions a colonel to put together a team of scientists to get the device activated so we can discover what the aliens are up to. Colonel Mitchell assembles a team to two scientists. Dr. Wendy Ahearn is a world renowned linguist with an innate ability to translate almost any written text. For her, what she does is intuitive. Paired with her is Dr. Corey Newton, a leading expert in gravity propulsion and a passion for ufology. His job is to interpret whatever Wendy translates. The team is sequestered in a secret underground base in Nevada. While working on the project, Wendy and Corey have an opportunity to study wreckage of a crashed UFO and to view the remains of an alien. This is all important for Wendy to do her job. Through serendipity, Wendy accomplishes her task of activating the device. She also discovers, in a very strange way, what the aliens are up to. Just as the team is about to use the device to access the alien’s “mainframe”, the device is stolen. A chase ensues leading the team into the desert where they capture the device and prepare to return back to base and continue their quest.

About the Author

Dr. Robert E. Farrell received his Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from The Ohio State University, his MBA from Western New England College and his Doctor of Engineering from the University of Massachusetts. He is now retired from Penn State University as Associate Professor Emeritus. For most of his life, Dr. Farrell has been interested in ufology. Twenty years ago, he began doing serious research for his science fiction novel, Alien Log. He believes good science fiction is based on good science. To that extent, Dr. Farrell is trying to follow the style of Michael Crichton (Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, and many others) and Arthur C. Clarke in his Odyssey series. Recently, he has completed the second book of the Alien Log series. It is entitled, Alien Log II, the New World Order. In addition to his novels, he has written numerous technical papers and three science fiction short stories that are included in an anthology, Sonoran Mirage, published by the Writer's Round Table of Phoenix. Dr. Farrell has lectured many times at universities, science centers, a MUFON meeting, book stores, clubs, and senior centers around the country and has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows including Coast-To-Coast AM with George Noory. He and his wife divide their time between Cheshire, Connecticut, and Sun City West. Having completed Alien Log II, he is presently working on other books in the Alien Log series.

From the Inside Flap

“Dr. Farrell, thank you for two great books, ALIEN LOG and ALIEN LOG II, THE NEW WORLD ORDER. I'm sure the 3rd will be just as enlightening and enjoyable. I have read both books twice and still open them now and then just to read a page or two. I liked everything about them - all the characters, the story line, and it's very true that you have done your homework. 'Quellin' did a good job explaining the human condition. I count you and your books among those who have influenced me to learn patience and unconditional love. Thanks for all the hard work and selflessness that you have put into your books - your sharing of yourself is one of life's greatest gifts. Best of everything as you progress – can't wait to read ALIEN LOG III. Keep it up!” Carol and Ron Harvey, Readers from Loveland, Colorado “I was both excited and entertained to read Alien Log II not only because it was a nice continuation of Alien Log I but because it was so rich in the highly credible interactions between intelligent people, hybrids and aliens at both the simple and intellectual level. Robert Farrell has selected a very genuine scenario of an initial crash to deal with finding answers to the major unknown we all hunger for: the real alien agendas. He deals credibly with the ever-present covert operations of governments, industry and the aliens themselves, even leaving room for the Illuminati being a major player in this world we live. Will they show up in Alien Log III? Great book. Buy it.” Dr. Robert M. Wood, PhD — Physics “A wonderful read! Loved it! Can't wait for Alien Log III! Bob Farrell has done it again! Alien Log II, the New World Order has dared to explore the best evidence for an ET presence on this planet. He invites the readers to stretch their minds and consciousness to explore the phenomena in all its ramifications. He provides a jolly good read in the process! Bob is single handedly raising the consciousness of the human race. We are NOT alone...his book entices us to rise to the challenge and move into the future without fear! I loved his book...can't wait for Alien Log III! I really appreciated his making credible the incredible and will share this book with my experiencers' group.Dr. Ruth McKinley – Hover, BCCSW Ph.D.(Board Certified Diplomate - Psychotherapy)
