"Everyone on earth now knows that America is hiding alien technology in Area 51, including an alien computer capable of controlling minds. Area 51 is open to the world and there is squabbling over who should possess the Alien technology. Several alien computers are found and activated which caused a transmission to be sent by one of the computers to an alien ship that has been orbiting Mars for millenia. The ship comes to Earth and is taken over by a cult like group that has known about the Aliens for hundreds of years. It is up to the main character and his team to find out what the computers are doing on Earth and to stop the Alien ship from destroying mankind."
