What really happened in Area 51?

Adam Pagnucco is just trying to help out a stranger who’s down and out. He has no idea that man is Winston Koop, his exceptionally talented ex-best friend. Koop and Nuke had been inseparable in college, but then life happened. Nuke finally quit drinking, and Koop - Koop was at the center of a massive conspiracy that the government faked UFOs just to cover it up.

Even after confessing to removing the memories of hundreds of people, Koop is still hiding something crucial from Nuke. The truth is even stranger than fiction, and time is running out for the real inhabitants of the Roswell site. Can Nuke somehow find a way to forgive...but not to forget?

In his long-awaited new novel, Patrick O’Leary (Door Number Three) deftly navigates the invisible currents of secrets and forgiveness. Gripping, profound, and utterly unique, 51 is sure to please fans of fans of smart paranormal nostalgia, such as The X-Files, Old Man’s War, and Stranger Things.

A little random for my tastes. I found the storyline hard to follow. it jumped around so much it didn't hold my interest. it became a chore to get through.

Not my cup of tea.

It’s a book that’s a person telling a tale to his friend. Involves childhood invisible friends and what they really are. Not my cup of tea.

WTH did I just listen too?

I had to listen to a few chapters multiple times to make sure I didn't miss anything. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the story. It's difficult for me personally to enjoy a book that goes back and forth to the past and present constantly, but the author pulled it off. Mr. Runnette was amazing as always!

Interesting story
