"For many, space and its exploration are a source of constant wonder. When following space missions and learning about the information that's been gathered or gazing up at the stars and considering what lies beyond our atmosphere, our solar system, indeed, the very universe--the questions that arise are nearly endless. Now, consider the possibility that some of what has been learned in space has been kept from the public. Perhaps there is convincing evidence that we are not alone after all. Author Nick Redfern takes on these mysteries with a compelling page-turner that will have readers reconsidering what they thought they knew about space"--Provided by the publisher.
