In Alien Log (272 pages) two scientists, Dr. Wendy Ahearn and Dr. Corey Newton, are joined in an ABOVE TOP SECRET project under the direction of Colonel Pete Mitchell.  Sequestered in a secret military base buried within a mountain in Nevada, the team is charged by special order of the President to decode an alien artifact discovered during the recovery of a UFO that crashed in 1953 near Kingman, Arizona. Time is critical and failure could doom human civilization as we know it.

Wendy is a brilliant, world-renowned linguist.  Her passion for music is surpassed only by her love of teaching linguistics of the Ancient Middle East.  Corey is the leading expert in the United States on quantum gravity.  Since graduating from MIT only three years ago, he has enjoyed his position as lead scientist for GraviDyne, an astrophysics think tank. His passion for UFOs has often raised the eyebrows of his co-workers. 

Besides the President and the dying general who discovered it, the two members of Pete’s team are the only people on this planet who know the artifact exists…at least, that’s what everyone believes.  Wendy is able to learn what the aliens are up to but just as the team is about to access advanced alien technology through the artifact, it is stolen. The culprit is chased into the desert where he is apprehended and the artifact recovered.
