Truth Insurrected

“Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project” was published in 2014 and was written by Daniel Douglas. This is Mr. Douglas’ first published novel. 

I would categorize this novel as ‘R’ as there are instances of Mature Language and Violence. The novel is written in the third person and is set in contemporary America. The two main characters are retired FBI agent, now a Private Investigator, William ‘Bill’ Harrison and Las Vegas, Nevada Police Officer Nick Ridley. 

Harrison is drawn into an investigation by an anonymous source. The more he looks into it, the stranger and more outlandish the claims seem to be, yet the evidence he accumulates indicates that it is the truth - Aliens did crash in Roswell, New Mexico in the 40s and the government is behind a massive cover up. The further Harrison digs, the more his life, and that of those around him, seem to be at risk. 

Ridley experiences a strange incident, then he is pulled in by his sister as her husband, an Air Force traffic controller, begins to act strangely. Before he knows what has happened, he meets Harrison and is confronted with the conspiracy theory. Soon, he too is in danger of being included in an effort to clean up loose ends in the cover up. 

I thought that this novel had a good plot, one that was not too outlandish. I liked the characters and enjoyed the 11.5 hours I spent reading this novel. I give this novel a 4 out of 5.
