The Hostiles: Storm Area 51

WINNER OF THE ‘BLKDOG BOOK THE YEAR 2020’ AWARD It’s September 2019, and the United States are embroiled in a second Cold War with Russia.

Eminent British professor, and professional miser, Harold Dunn, has spent the last six years building the Allies’ nuclear deterrent; a bomb nine thousand times more powerful than the one dropped on Nagasaki in 1945.

When Dunn is invited to the missile’s new home, and one of the most infamous military facilities in the world, he accepts with the apprehension of anyone due to visit Area 51.

Following the viral success of the hashtag #StormArea51, Dunn finds the base crawling with boozy UFOlogists, thuggish security guards, and mysterious Agents of the Government.

However, he soon realises that these earthly foes are the least of his worries, when he and his de-facto tour guide, Dr Lisa Tsai, discover hostile forces orchestrating a war that will destroy the human race.

Extraterrestrials aren’t out there. They’re already here.
