In 1948, an alien starship fell from the New Mexico sky-and immediately vanished behind the walls of the Los Alamos Laboratory. Since that day the US military has endeavored to reverse engineer the ship's alien technology through top-secret research known only as the Rho Project. Now, decades after the crash, the government is prepared tell all.

Or so it claims...

For there is a second ship, hidden for all these years, just out of the military's reach. And when a trio of students discovers it buried deep inside a remote canyon, they are changed forever. With a single touch, the technology the government has spent billions trying to unlock is uploaded into the minds of three teenagers-teenagers who now know the frightening truth about the Rho Project. When the NSA black-ops team of Jack "The Ripper" Gregory and Janet Price come calling, they are thrust into a violent world of secrets and corruption, becoming reluctant soldiers in a war destined to alter what it means to be human.
