Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project

by Daniel P Douglas

Overview

When former FBI agent William Harrison begins receiving mysterious postcards with the signature "Echo Tango," he's alerted to a cover-up beyond anything he ever thought possible.

His informant turns out to be a guilt-ridden ex-operative in the Saint Mary Project, an ultra-secret program engaged in alien contact. The organization is wiping out loose ends, and Echo Tango thinks Harrison is the man he needs to stop it.

Thanks to a gunshot wound suffered in an attempt to thwart an armed robbery, the crime-fighting life is something of Harrison's past. He keeps his shooting skills sharp but walks with a limp, and he is more likely to catch marital cheaters than anything else-as a private investigator.

But Harrison can't shake the feeling that this case is meant for him. He enlists the help of colleagues and starts following the clues.

However, hired guns stand between them and the truth. There are also alien-human hybrids to contend with, but that's not all. Harrison's investigation turns up a powerful secret about him and his family-a secret that may just be what lets him end these unimaginable crimes.

Will Harrison discover and reveal the truth? Find out in Daniel P. Douglas's thrilling UFO conspiracy novel Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project.

Editorial Reviews

Douglas’s debut tacks SF elements onto a stock noir scenario. Bill Harrison, an FBI agent turned private detective, is on a routine stakeout when he observes an unusual object in the night sky. Soon Harrison begins receiving postcards and letters mysteriously signed Echo Tango (E.T.). An informant gives Harrison and his former FBI partner bits of information that they piece together to reveal the criminal activities of the Saint Mary Project, an obscure and secretive initiative of the U.S. military. Douglas depicts Harrison as an out-of-shape smoker, entirely conforming to private-eye stereotypes. Although it’s initially hard to track the many characters, their development and relationships become clearer as the plot develops. The intrigue is entertaining. An insightful final twist refreshes the otherwise predictable plot . Though nominally SF, this novel will primarily appeal to avid readers of mystery and crime. (BookLife)

In Douglas' debut sci-fi thriller, an anonymous source puts a former FBI agent on the trail of a government conspiracy involving aliens.Private investigator and ex-federal agent William Harrison doesn't know who's sending him postcards signed "Echo Tango." But whoever it is, "ET" claims that there's been a long government coverup, starting in 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico, where two UFOs crashed. Five military policemen who witnessed the event died soon afterward in supposed accidents. Now the same thing may be happening again, as a UFO sighting mere months ago seems to have resulted in similar mishaps. Harrison teams up with his old FBI partner, Art Holcomb, and Nick Ridley, a Las Vegas cop whose brother-in-law may have fallen prey to the coverup. Once they find ET, the small group plans to bring down the Saint Mary Project, a government initiative to keep aliens a secret by any means necessary. This energetic thriller leans much more toward espionage than sci-fi, but its sprinkling of fantastical elements makes it a standout. Readers aren't privy to any information about the aliens that the heroes don't have, and this uncertainty generates a high level of suspense. At the same time, there's enough sci-fi material to keep fans engrossed; for example, the (human) villains are aware of four alien species, but a largely unknown fifth one has them on edge. There are also a couple of alien-human hybrids, and at least one of them is working for the baddies. A bit of romance between Harrison and Janice, the new intern at his PI office, pales in comparison to the camaraderie among the men, who band together like soldiers. Readers will cheer when one of them saves another and become anxious when one of them disappears. There's a definite resolution to the story but nary a break in the action until the end.A multigenre espionage tale that's unquestionably entertaining.
