predate the Druids.

What if it hides something?
Area 51: The Truth
Mythological artifacts become a modern arsenal in
a millennia-long interstellar battle. On one side
stands the alien race that styled itself as gods to
secretly steer human evolution. On the other is an
elite team of Area 51 commandos, dedicated to
freeing humanity from their interstellar overlords.
Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte and Lisa
Duncan are among the few who know the truth
about the extraterrestrial threat—& have the
power to fight it. But can they save the human
race from eradication or become pawns in an
elaborate plot to enslave the planet?
Having just retrieved the legendary sword
Excalibur—in actuality the control key to an alien
mother ship—from atop Mount Everest, Turcotte
rejoins the fight, intent on ending the ancient,
bloody conflict once and for all. Yet even as he
tries to avert a nuclear holocaust, a deadlier, more
insidious alien foe hides in the shadows, waiting
for the chance to alert its kind that Earth is ripe for
conquest.
