Summary: Silly plot, flat characters
Comment: After reading all the glowing reviews, I bought Area 51. I can't believe this is the same book everyone else is reviewing. It's not a bad book, but it is certainly not a 5-star book.
Area 51 attempts to explain every mystery in the world, like Atlantis, the Great Pyramid, Easter Island, UFOs, crop circles, cave paintings, the creation of the atom bomb, the Nazis, and your wife's latest haircut. The large amount of mysteries described and supposedly solved with a single common solution really stretches the believability factor. The plot, while action-packed, is silly and unbelievable. The characters are static, two-dimensional, cookie-cutter stereotypes with no growth or development whatsoever.
Area 51 is a quick pulp novel with not a lot of depth. If you just want a quick mindless read, it's okay. If you're looking for something with a bit more meat and believability, look elsewhere.

Summary: It's all true...
Comment: The President's science advisor wants to know what is going on in Area 51. She enlists the aid of a marine and then the slurm hits the fan.
Fast-paced adventure mas our main characters uncovering the secrets hidden at Area 51 while trying to avoid being killed.
Excellent suspense, good characters, and a believable plot make this one of the best "Area 51" novels to come along. A nice companion to the author's THE ROCK, which is seemingly composed of every science fiction cliche except Area 51/Roswell.
Reader should beware that this is the first of a seven-book series and that the others are not quite the same style.
Rating: 3
Summary: Area 51 Series
Comment: I've read the first four books of this series and while I find it a good read and nice escapist fantasy, it does tend to drag a bit in parts--too many long explanations on the same subject in each book, cardboard characters and minor, yet noticeable, oversights (Captain Turcotte becomes Major Turcotte then Captain Turcotte again). On the other hand Doherty does manage to break up the seemingly constant downturns (the aliens and their Earthbound agents seeming to get the upperhand, for example) with small but significant triumphs. All in all it's a really fun read, and if you're not looking for more than that, these books are for you.
