This is the first book in what the author calls the Noumena series. I read this during the first week of November 2021.
The novel is alternative history set in 2007 about a leak that concerns a first contact with aliens that has been occurring for decades but hidden from the public by the government. The book tells the story of a young woman who has made contact with the up until then very un-communitive aliens living on a military base. The cover-up begins to unravel as the hero of the story starts to change everything.
This book reminded me of growing up with the ongoing coverup story of Area 51. I've always been a big fan of science fiction and the first contact alien situation has been a stable of the genre for many decades.
I really didn't know anything about the author and was surprised when reading some reviews of this book, her first novel, that she had so many fans who watched her channel on YouTube where apparently she had a well received show that reviewed media using video essays. A lot of people seemed to have read her debut novel not because they liked science fiction but because they liked her online media presence.
Well, I enjoyed the book, the story and the writing style. I'm looking forward to reading the second installment in the series.
