Nick Cook, a British aerospace journalist with a 20-year history of “getting below the surface” of some of the strangest military aircraft to take to the skies, applies his expert, investigative skills to a world of mystery and deceit – a fantastical place full of UFOs, strange encounters, and alien abductions. Much of his time has been spent at the respected journal, Jane’s Defence Weekly. His job is to investigate secret programs – the shadow defense industry, worth billions of dollars, but hidden from public view.
