Author, Robert Farrell (retired Associate Professor Emeritus from Penn State University) combined his life-long interest in physics with fifteen years of research to create this Sci-Fi series.
ALIEN LOG,the first book in the series, is on one level a moving story about a pair of scientists hired to decode a mysterious artifact found in 1953 at a UFO crash site near Kingman, Arizona. On another level, it is an enlightening story, which posits the connection between current scientific knowledge and alien technology.
In a secret base in Nevada, Colonel Mitchell directs two scientists, Dr. Corey Newton, an astrophysicists, and Dr. Wendy Ahearn, a world renowned linguist, in their mission to decode the alien artifact. This artifact, apparently, is not only the alien ship’s log but also a link to the mother ship’s computer. The team hopes to tap into the alien's computer and gain access to their technology. Just as the team is about to complete their mission, the artifact is stolen by the base commander who heads into the desert to return it to the rightful owners.
In ALIEN LOG, Farrell takes the reader to the ancient Sumerian culture when humans suddenly displayed a quantum leap in mathematics and human development as if tutored by a higher form. Then the author jets the reader to the present, where higher beings watch over humankind to make sure they don’t destroy the planet with their newfound discovery of nuclear power.
ALIEN LOG will thrill and inform not only those interested in Science Fiction and UFOlogy, but also those curious about the Universe.
