Secrets in the Desert James Traylor

Paul Jackson is embarking on a career as a war correspondent for the Washington Post. He pictures himself following in the footsteps of Edward R. Murrow or Ernie Pyle. But he's wounded while reporting in Iraq and is sent home to recover. When he returns to work, Jackson receives an assignment to cover the UFO convention in Roswell, New Mexico. He doesn't believe in the UFO phenomenon, and he's not pleased with the prospect of spending his time with every lunatic in the hemisphere. Jackson is joined by Sara Greenberg, a freelance photographer. Together, they document the stories of a variety of convention-goers. But as the two hear a succession of unusual and odd tales, they become part of something much more sinister. The shadow government, which answers to no one, is involved with extra-terrestrials fighting over the earth's minerals. Will Jackson and Greenberg, two skeptics, become believers?
