Have you ever wondered why the world's major powers have started a new arms race while continuing to work together in space, especially on the international space station? Are the conspiracy theorists both right and wrong? Could it be that Roswell and Area 51 are just red herrings? That governments are hiding not past contacts but the prospect of a dangerous future contact? This is the story of two remarkable young women and their journey of discovery. Set against that background, without knowing why their work is supported by world governments, they will lead humans to the stars. **David Adams was one of three finalists for the new author category in The SABA Book Awards 2020**
