This science fiction story is filled with UFOs, aliens, and Hopi mythology. Una Waters first encountered an unexplained - possibly alien - sighting when she was nine years old on a flight from Texas to Las Vegas. She saw through nine-year-old eyes the government cover-up of the incident. She spent her childhood living on a Hopi reservation until leaving for the outside world after the death of her parents when she was eighteen. Now, ten years later, she's working for the Department of the Interior in Washington, DC.

Una is called home to the reservation because some strange things are going on. The military is conducting some sort of operation on a mountain that is sacred to the Hopi. There has been a death of one of the young men from the town and another has been greatly changed. Her friend's son is the only one of the three boys who has seemingly escaped their adventure unharmed. As Una begins to investigate, she is assisted by Jack Howser who is a newspaperman from Winslow, Arizona, and another survivor of the same alien-viewing flight that Una was on.

Together the two begin investigating what is going on on the mountain and run into obstruction from General Colin Ashcroft. Una later learns that he was also on that fateful flight when he was a child. The story was filled with Hopi mythology and Una finds herself reengaging with the culture and beliefs she thought she had set aside when she left the reservations.

This book is a conspiracy theorists dream novel. All sorts of information about alien sightings and government coverups fill the pages. Fans of that sort of thing will enjoy this fast-paced story. ( )
