Something landed in the New Mexico desert one night, near the small town of Roswell. The wreckage was unlike anything the ranchers and townspeople had ever seen. Some claimed it was not of this earth. But whatever they believed, it transformed their lives forever. For twenty-four hours the news spread like wildfire. Then the government investigators arrived... and the news stopped.

Only in fiction can the story at last be told. And only Whitley Strieber can tell it.
