About the book
On 2nd July 1947, an unidentified object crashed near Roswell, New Mexico giving rise to speculation that it might have been an alien spacecraft.
There is wide debate over what actually happened, and what evidence can be believed. According to Wikipedia:
‘The United States military maintains that what was recovered was a top-secret research balloon that had crashed. However, many UFO proponents believe the wreckage was of a crashed alien craft and that the military covered up the craft's recovery. The incident has turned into a widely-recognised and referenced pop culture phenomenon, and for some, Roswell is synonymous with UFO and likely ranks as the most famous alleged UFO incident’.
The version of events outlined in Alien Timebomb offers another perspective on what actually happened at Roswell. Consider this, that there was a cover up and that there really was an alien landing. If you’ve already read Moon Man, you’ll know the importance of the power of Noitanigami (or imagination for those of you for whom it’s as yet unfamiliar territory). So join Walter Speazlebud, the backwards-talking time traveller on this his latest adventure and make up your own mind.
“Quick and entertaining, the plot twists and turns delightfully, and an old mystery is finally cleared up” Flipside Magazine
“ This is a fast paced, exciting story with plenty of plot twists to keep you guessing to the end. Follow up to “Moon Man”, which is well worth reading if you haven’t already.” Primary Times, Hampshire
