UFOs are real. When Jason Ridley discovers their shocking agenda, his actions will either transform humanity...or destroy it entirely. Unidentified details the actual evidence that UFOs are here, while offering a mind-blowing fictional take on the reasons why. A riveting pause-resister packed with nonstop action, epic ideas, and astonishing twists.

Ripped from today's headlines, Unidentified is the latest thriller from the NY Times best-selling author whose books have sold more than two million copies.

Between 2017 and 2021, the US military admitted to having undeniable evidence that UFOs (now UAVs or UAPs) are here and defy the laws of physics. When Jason Ramsey, a popular science-fiction writer, becomes obsessed with the subject, he undertakes a relentless quest to uncover what is really going on. After recruiting Tessa Barrett, an extraordinarily talented mercenary, Jason devises a risky, desperate plan to get to the bottom of it all. But the truth is far more shocking, convoluted, and dangerous than anyone could have guessed, and he has no idea who he can trust.

Jason soon realizes that he can only be certain of two things. He somehow holds the key to the future of the galaxy itself...and his chances of living out the week are vanishingly small.

This book was insightful, entertaining and fun. I appreciate how it ends in an upbeat manner. Can't wait until his next SciFi Thriller! I would love to see him craft a story around the Crisper gene machine.

I really enjoyed this book, and the narration! I liked that it was written in first person too. And I also enjoyed the prologue, more than any prologue I’ve ever read! 😊. No fair reading that first, you wouldn’t understand it as well without the book first!

Awesome

This is the third or fourth book I’ve read from the author and it has all the twists/turns and fast pace as advertised. My problem is something I also observed in the books from Dan Brown….the underlying plots are very similar to each other, sort of like being written from a formula. Yes the settings are different but there really isn’t that much difference if the background is South America or the South Pacific.
In every case, it’s a protagonist with an understated female accomplice that continuously pulls his bacon from the fire.

I don’t think I will do it again.

An OK book

If you’re looking for a story with a plot twist, with three or four more levels amongst those, then this is the book for you. I truly enjoyed the 1st person perspective, and the use of government confirmed truths that have been made public. I love how the author transitioned to his fictional creativity, and used the lore of ufology to create a immaculate weaved story that wants you to believe, or at least be curious. Like any great book, if it can make you question what you know and don’t know, the book did its job. At the end of the day…. It was a great fantasy!

Great imagination

Douglas Richards has rapidly become my favorite contemporary near future sci-fi writer! His easy to read/listen to style combined with extremely clever plots tied with plausible technology is without parallel. Read it.

Richards delivers again!

This novel by Douglas Richards is fantastic! It is a really smart take on first contact and how valuable humanity may be to high civilizations. Lots of twists and turns, interesting characters and a truly creative perspective make this story a must read. I really love it.

Really Special

not bad for the price I guess. narrator was just ok. Ended with sequel looming for sure.

Kind of far fetched but that's sci-fi I guess.

Another great book from my favorite sci-fi author. I only wish there were more I could buy. He does his research and it shows.

Making me doubt my yes-there-are-aliens-but-I-don’t-believe-they-visit stance.

I liked everything about it. The authors notes at the end are really interesting. I will be listening to more books by Douglas E Richard’s.

Very exciting book

Even the author notes, through the characters, that it's a bit corny. That's ok. The story is very entertaining so I'll give him a pass on that.

A bit corny, but fun
