Toronto-based Rakuten Kobo Inc., one of the world’s fastest-growing eReading services, offering more than 5 million eBooks and magazines to millions of users across the world has added to its listing the books of NASA/Area 51 veteran, TD Barnes.

The Secret Genesis of Area 51 was a favorite Father’s Day gift at the Costco store book signing by TD Barnes. Barnes reported that many of those purchased were for former or present workers at Area 51. Only now and after recent declassifications are it known that the CIA formed and ran Area 51 from 1955 to 1979 when the Air Force took over. The book is published by Arcadia/History Press and is available at book outlets worldwide.

While the original printing of The Angels contained a treasure trove of personal accounts of those who built and flew the CIA’s U-2 reconnaissance plane at Area 51, the reprint includes much more that families of those involved have subsequently contributed to the author. The revised reprint reveals much for the first time about crucial participants such as the CIA’s Dick Bissell, his deputy, BGen Jack Gibbs, Wilburn Rose, killed in the crash of his U-2 plane, and the Black Cats, the Republic of Korea U-2 pilots flying for the CIA. The Angels and its successors in the series, The Archangels and The Company Business are available in ebook and paperback at near all book outlets worldwide.

Selecting a place called Area 51 in Nevada and beneath a shroud of secrecy, the Central Intelligence Agency first flew the U-2, the Angel knowing at the time that the Russians would most likely shoot it down within 18 months. To replace the U-2, the CIA designed America’s first stealth plane, using the slide rule to produce what today remains the highest flying and fastest manned, air-breathing aircraft ever flown, the A-12 Archangel. The agency named it the Oxcart, the first of a family of four Blackbird planes. At Area 51, the CIA flew the Oxcart on 2,850 sorties, some faster than a rifle bullet and up to 90,000 feet that remained unknown to the world for decades to come. Now, after over 50 years the story can be told about Project OXCART at Area 51.

For five years the four had trained together for the first manned flight to Mars. All, two men and two women, an American, a Canadian, a Japanese American, and an African-Australian were astronauts, having spent one tour on the International Space Station during training and another four months as they prepared an orbital launch of the SpaceCorp-owned spaceship Explorer. An over-burn of its rockets due to sabotage during departure dooms the Mars mission and leaves the Explorer and crew no choice but look for a new planet or asteroid to colonize. That’s what the US military and intelligence agencies wants everyone on Earth to think. In truth, the Explorer was on a dual mission, one to prepare a venue for colonization and the other a militarized mission to test a new device in space. There was no going back after they found what they were seeking.
