The continuation of the series that has sold over two million copies, screenplay written by the man who penned Alien and Total Recall and produced Minority Report and is Cool Gus approved.

Do we deserve a second chance?

Mike Turcotte, the Special Forces officer who led the fight against the Airlia, which ruled our planet from the shadows for over 10 millennia, has returned to Area 51. Earth has freed itself from the shackles of alien domination but at high cost while winning World War III. He has learned what he believes is the truth about human origins.

A truth so devastating he insists it cannot be made public.

But the thing no one on Earth knows is that in winning the war they’ve initiated the seeds of their own doom.

Something worse than World War III.

Something worse than the Airlia.

Something that means the end of all life in the solar system.

But there is one who might have a solution...except she’s not human.

If you're new to this series, you're doing a disservice to yourself, if you don't read the full series. It's that good. I would strongly recommend starting with Book 1 to fully enjoy the experience. That said, it's been so many years, I couldn't remember everything but as I read, it came back. Even for veterans of this series, rereading it wouldn't be too bad if you have the time.

Bob gets into some details/technicalities that some readers won't like or will gloss over but that doesn't take away from the fast-pace I enjoy in his writing. The characters are not really delved into or fleshed out here if you're a newbie as he's done that in previous books. Outside of Nyx you don't get too in-depth with the new characters but because of how Bob writes, you get attached to them regardless. As he fleshes them out (as he's done in other series and this one in previous books) in greater detail, they become characters you truly care about even more. It's why I'm thrilled he re-started this series. You really hate the bad guys and always want the good guys to win and at times you root for the not-so-bad guys. He also doesn't hesitate to kill off a character you may like, providing the unpredictability that makes his books and this one a great read.

Bob's strength is his ability to stretch the imagination of mixing truths, myths, and legends into great science fiction work to tie them into a fantastic storyline. He continues that with this. This series has really taken a turn toward the unexpected in what's happening to Earth and the devastation. It's what makes the book so enjoyable as you know there will be a way out but only Bob's imagination knows how that will happen along with the "Ohh," he just killed that character off to go with the enjoyment of another character's success! I guess we'll have to wait for the next one to figure that out.

That's what I like about Bob's writing. He's quick without losing quality as you see in many writers under tight deadlines (Charlaine Harris comes to mind). You never have to wait long for the next one (at least that's the case with his Night Stalker/Time Patrol series). I can't wait for the next one and for the record. This is the first book in a long while where I read it from beginning to end in a few days. It made me remember the days before the Internet where a great book was how we passed time versus Netflix or video games. Good stuff and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Strange edition, although enjoyable.

Tesla is not an unknown man. I know the universe of Area 51 is fictional but as it draws inspiration from real history is strange, without an explanation, that Tesla is not as famous. Some characters seem out of character, for example the Airlia Nyx, she doesn't seem an Airlia as so far they consider humans barely above animals. There are Nosferatu and Nekhbet, the two Undead and their lust for blood... but I recall they already had the nanomachines of the Airlia that makes them immortal, is strange that they behave like there has been no change. About the edition: is terrible, there is a seal of Area 51 cutting almost in a random way the chapters, as it appears in each chapter is repetitive, it was better in the previous books when it was the new chapter, there are some imaged added but they seem inserted rather as a homework than the presentation of a book. In the description of the book it says "screenplay written by the man who penned Alien, Total Recall and produced Minority Report" but there is no indication in the book of such person, or if it refers to Bob Mayer. These are the things I did not like much.

Turcotte path to save humanity from the Swarm that is inbound to Earth is what I loved. I would lie if I would say I didn't get excited by reading and flying over the pages. The rogue group from the Watchers, the ones that take action, are implementing a strategy while the Swarm is getting closer to Earth. There are combats and strategies put in march, which are the specialty of the author, there are multiple threats and so little time to combat. Is unavoidable to mention what happens without committing spoilers, but although it is different from the first books I still enjoyed it.

I love this series! Great story telling, fun plots, great use of history. The only issue I had, which was very frustrating was that there were a ton of typos in this book. Whoever edited it did a very poor job. I really hope the next book doesn't have this same issue!

The area 51 series was by far one of the best storylines I have ever read. I have reread the entire series no less than a dozen times, it is my “go to” read, and have recommended it to many friends. Bob is an incredible author.

However, I felt redemption ended a little bit too quickly. Somewhat of a tease for fans who wanted the series to continue. Looking forward to the next installment

Excellent installment of the Area 51 series! I've been a fan for a very long time and have read most everything Mr. Mayer puts out. He writes some of the best science fiction out there. The Nightstalkers is another awesome series to check out.

Pure like whole way through. This story draws you in and doesn't let go. Just finished this instalment and I'm just about to start the next, 'Invasion'. Trepidation abounds because it looks as if many main characters may have to give their lives for humanity to survive.
Who would like this? Hmm... I would suggest almost anyone but especially sci-fi enthusiasts, military minded groups and people who just enjoy a series of novels with an engaging story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impossible to put down. Fast paces and well written.

Bob Mayer is my favorite author. Area 51: Redemption is a fast paced thrilling book. I have read all the others in the series and recognized several of my favorite characters in this novel. At the same time the story fully makes sense as a free standing sci-fi thriller. It is hard to say more without inserting spoilers! It is very clear that Bob Mayer is very well read in ancient history as well as mythology as well as up to date on current world issues. I am from Norway but didn’t know until reading this book that Norway has a global seed bank in Svalbard.
On a personal level, I have to say that I thought I recognized the characters of Cool Gus and Becca in the book. Now I have that sad and lost feeling you get when a great read is over!

Like all of Bobs books they could quite possibly be true. The amazing part of the story is the way we (humans) react is so similar to the way we react now which makes you wonder are we really worth saving.

Mayer is a master of his craft. I always want more. Hope is as much a part of the human psyche as is our belicose nature, to fight for what we perceive as our rightful due. Mayer understands this and has my attention. I will read his next book as I have the pervious ones.
