  What has the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the supposed hoaxed Moon landings have in common? Is there a connection between the infamous Watergate scandal and the supposed Aurora super aircraft project? Project Ares is America's most secret project, beyond even the security of the Manhattan Project that developed the first atomic bomb. Spanning several decades, the project has unlimited and, more importantly, unaccountable funding and resources. So when the project is threatened the leaders fight back with deadly force, even when the threat comes from the highest levels of their own government and the struggle is likely to lead to nuclear war. This is Brian Phillipson's third book.  His second book entitled "Pharaoh's Treasure" was shortlisted in the USA Best Book of the Year Awards 2008.
