Product Description:
From the bestselling author of UFO: Crash at Roswell
Roswell, New Mexico-1947
It is the troubled period just after World War II, and America has asserted its power across the globe, but problems still remain. With the ever-present threat of atomic weapons in enemy hands, the country has begun a race for military supremacy. Every inch of sky is monitored by radar, and every eye is open.
The face of America's enemy seemed very clear, until reports of an unidentified aircraft flying over the New Mexico desert arrived in Washington. The reports state that the ship is impossibly light, with the ability to hover in place, then speed away at more than one thousand miles an hour-and it looks like no other aircraft the country has ever seen.
While President Truman does his best to maintain plausible denials, the situation is placed in the hands of Major General Curtis LeMay, a military zealot whose only concern is securing America's dominance in the arms race. When his men shoot the craft down, it becomes obvious that this was no Russian vessel-and that it may not be from this planet at all. An examination of the crew proves this to be all too true . . . and one of them has survived.
As the army rushes to defend the country, as the government attempts to erase an event from public view, humanity prepares to witness an event so powerful that it could mean a change in life as we know it.
Nothing you believe will ever be the same . . . .

Kevin D. Randle is known primarily for his non-fiction books dealing with the U.F.O. phenomena (The Crash at Roswell, The Abduction Enigma), but has also written series of science fiction (Jefferson's War and The Exploration Chronicles).
When I saw that he had written a novel based on the purported U.F.O. crash at Roswell I had to pick it up. Though I tend to think that what crashed was an experimental weather balloon, I still have an interest in flying saucers. I figured since Kevin ... Read More

Kevin Randle, having examined everything known about the actual Roswell incident in his other books, has given us a fictionalized account in Operation Roswell, using just enough actual people (General Curtis LeMay and President Harry Truman, for instance) to make it seem plausible. At least, to make you wonder if it could have happened this way. What I liked about the book was that it started from a completely different point of view from the usual accounts of Roswell. The whole incident really hit ... Read More

First off, I am not a believer in the Roswell "crashed UFO" story. There is no doubt in my mind that a rancher recovered some unusual debris from an aerial object in the New Mexico desert near Roswell in 1947. Similarly, there is no doubt in my mind that the source of the debris was a top-secret "balloon train" flight of Project Mogul, which was designed to investigate acoustical techniques of detecting Soviet nuclear explosions (remember, the Soviets had not yet tested an atomic bomb at the time). ...

Kevin Randle's take on the Roswell Incident lends itself well to a sprawling potboiler of a novel. If you read it without an agenda, it is simply fun! If, on the other hand, you try to accept it as a fictionalization of actual events, then you will probably get embroiled in details and miss out on the enjoyment. Personally, I don't know if the Roswell Incident occurred, nor do I care. I have read enough about it and seen enough on TV to have a passing familiarity, so I never got lost in the novel. ...

Warning---Spoilers below!
I'm a huge fan of the UFO/Alien novels that have been coming out lately. Read the entire Area 51 series and loved every single book. Operation Roswell had all the key elements in becoming a great book until, I read the last couple of chapters. Disappointing is the least I can say about this story's ending. It was like he had no idea how to complete the book and decided "What the hell...I'll make them into blood thirsty Aliens. That would make a great ending and ... Read More
