Covert Trilogy

Agents Sam (Samantha) Mitchell and Byron Lowe have graduated from a US-based UFO disinformation bureau. They must assess whether the sightings and plans of an alien intelligence network in the Australian Outback are in humanity's best interests. The two quickly discover that they are at loggerheads in running the mission. Sam, agent in charge, must deal with her partner's arrogance and unfamiliarity with the territory. Hampered by mounting global pandemic, they meet an unlikely pair-retired airline pilot Sens and an activist indigenous woman Meg, who've been associated with several ET sightings. It is only when Sens' pet dog Marshall is reported to have accomplished seemingly impossible feats, that Sam and Byron find the key to direct contact with the aliens. 'Covert Messages' is the first volume of the 'Covert Trilogy', a series dealing with extra-terrestrial contact and conflict, in an era of mounting climate change and global pandemic. If you enjoyed '2001 A Space Odyssey' by Arthur C Clarke, and more recent novels on the theme of AI evolution and ultimate supremacy, then you'll love this fast-paced alien mystery set in the backdrop of Australia's remote landscape. Don't forget to watch out for the two other novels in the trilogy 'Covert State' and 'Covert Citadel'. Check my website for details: https://rodneyjensenbooks.com/
