: On the evening of July 3rd, 1947, two starships battled in the night sky over the American Southwest, sending both ships crashing into the high desert. One of these ships was quickly discovered near Roswell, New Mexico, and spirited away, its existence officially denied by the US Government. In August of 2006, three high school students accidentally discover something which leaves them entangled in a dark web of international espionage and intrigue. Pursued by government agents and mercenary killers, they stumble upon something far more terrifying. Now, their only hope of survival may lie within ... The Second Ship.

From the Author:

In this first book of my Rho Agenda trilogy, three na�ve high school juniors, Heather McFarland and the twins, Mark and Jennifer Smythe, stumble upon (or are drawn to) a badly damaged alien spacecraft. Their curiosity drives them to explore the ship with life-changing consequences.

For better or worse, they draw the attention of a pair of top-secret NSA fixers, the deadly tandem from my Rho Agenda Inception series, Jack "The Ripper" Gregory and Janet Alexandra Price. It is a combination destined to strip the teens of their comfortable family lives and thrust them into a world of amoral scientists, assassins, aliens, and spies.

At its heart, The Rho Agenda trilogy is a coming of age story for these three teens and for our adolescent species that attracts the attention of others who care little for the wants and needs of humans.
