(Part 4 of From Roswell to Area 51 - each story also stands alone in the Earth's Secret Alliance universe.)
★★★★★ A very nice and easy read. I love how it handles the theme of women in men dominated fields and how to overcome it. I love how it was built and told. Overall just a really nice read. - Goodreads ReviewerOne woman's brilliance could save humanity-if anyone will listen.
In 1947, as whispers of an alien invasion spread, Mary Goss, a nineteen-year-old physics prodigy, is recruited for a top-secret Army project.
She expects scientific discovery.
She uncovers something far greater - proof that humanity is not alone.
But while Mary races to decipher alien technology, her male colleagues dismiss her at every turn. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Mary must rise above prejudice and self-doubt before it's too late.
Clean, family-friendly, and uplifting, Earth's Secret Alliance is soft science fiction that explores courage, conscience, and cooperation more than technology or war. Perfect for readers who enjoy Contact's wonder and Hidden Figures' determination.
