The Galileo Project by Si Rosser

 

Following the publication of my novel Roswell Rising- a Novel of Disclosure and its two sequels, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2016/08/roswell-rising-is-here.html, I've been keen to read other fiction with a similar theme. I find that different authors often tend to produce similar works at the same time, as if we pick up something in the air; for example Not Alone by Craig Falconer, see background link below. I've come across another person, Simon or "Si" Rosser. I discovered his titles in an unusual way, direct contact with the author. He is a member of an email group I am also in and we got talking. I've recommended the Roswell trilogy to him. I don't know what he makes of it, if he's read it yet. Despite our books having a similar theme, like Craig Falconer, his work is still very different in style. The Galileo Project refers not to Avi Loeb's UFOlogy effort, it is the title of the first book and the trilogy. The second is called Countdown and the third Disclosure. The story is a fast-paced thriller not unlike Sidney Sheldon's The Doomsday Conspiracy, see below, or something by Dan Brown. The main character is a James Bond like figure called Robert Spire, a daredevil action man who is a part of a secret agency called GLENCOM which has a hidden headquarters behind a nondescript door in a London side street. Along with his sidekick Travis Dexter he travels the world chasing the bad guys and trying to uncover the secrets about UFO's. It all begins in London when he is inexplicably summoned to a meeting at the Greenwich Observatory where somebody called Dr Robert Lazarus gives a speech. If that name sounds like a real person's then it's meant to... From there Robert and Travis dash from one exciting cliff-hanging situation to the next; in the Welsh Triangle to Rendlesham Forest to Area 51 and a collision course with the military-industrial complex. At the same time, the forces behind the Deep State Truth Embargo carry out their own pursuit of the dynamic duo to keep the UFO presence out of public hands. The narrative is reminiscent of travel literature, with photographs of the setting locations on the pages. This provides a sense of vividness that I liked. As regular readers know you, I have a sentimental affinity for good old fashioned books, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/12/1984-removed-from-kindle.html; therefore I was dismayed to see that only the first two books are available as paperbacks, although Simon told me personally that he plans to release the others on undeletable ink and wood pulp as soon as possible. They can all be purchased on Amazon Kindle, see: https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Simon-Rosser/author/B001PL3LEU. He has many other books which look interesting too. Watch out for my reviews of them.
