THE TRUTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN HERE
In the final days of World War II, the Allies ransacked Berlin. Third
Reich scientists were highly sought- out prizes for Americans and
Russians desperate to possess the Nazi knowledge of nuclear firepower.
But they failed to capture one of the most vital members of Adolf
Hitler's inner circle: SS Obergruppenfuhrer Hans Kammler. One of the
engineers of Auschwitz, Kammler was also a liaison with the Nazis'
silent partners whose technological wonders nearly helped the Axis win
the war--the alien species the Germans called the Eidechse.
More than seven decades later, U. S. Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Mark
Hunter has witnessed the impossible. On a mission in North Korea, an
unidentified flying object destroyed a compound developing weapons of
mass destruction. Now, he has been recruited to join a government agency
that has been harboring a secret alliance with extraterrestrials since
1947. Selected to lead an elite force of soldiers, Hunter will travel
across the stars to help humanity stake its claim among greater
intelligent life in the universe.
But the aliens who have infiltrated Earth and guided war mongering
nations since the twentieth century have their own agendas...
