"Bill Sanders is such a stereotypical Luddite that he still has a flip phone. While out of the country grieving his wife's tragic death in an airline disaster, he completely misses the news surrounding the mysterious disappearance of the daughter of his best friend from high school, Paul. The story gets stranger with every passing hour: she disappeared into thin air from a locked room, and Paul, who has turned to drinking, tells a tale of UFOs and black helicopters. Intent on helping his friend, Bill investigates and finds that several stories in the local newspaper corroborate Paul's story. But before Bill can interview the reporter, things get chaotic very, very quickly. Paul's house is ransacked, Bill's cell phone is destroyed, and a cryptic note about his wife is left as a warning. Almost immediately after that, the local reporter is murdered, though it is staged as a suicide. It only gets more deeply, conspiracy-laden crazy from there. The first in a planned trilogy, The Seven is entertaining and chock-full of modern gumshoe tropes." -- BOOKLIST

"While not entirely without intrigue, the focus is on plot." -- LIBRARY JOURNAL

"The Seven is a powerful story of the vast array of government cover-ups, disinformation, deaths, and do-or-die UFO mysteries. It is also a heartfelt story of reporters, abductees, and UFO investigators. It is extremely readable, and it was difficult to put down. The Seven is a book that movies are made of." -- USAF Major (Ret.) George A. Filer III, Eastern U.S. Director of the Mutual UFO Network, New Jersey State Director of MUFON, Publisher of Filer's Files, and Director of the National UFO Center
