BEYOND THE WORLD by T.J. Wolf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Una Waters and General Ashcroft go to Yosemite National Park for their honeymoon however it doesn't work out quite how they intended. He received a coded distress call so gets pulled away, then Una uncovers a UFO mystery and pulls in Jack Howser for help. Una and Jack are joined by members of the Explorers Club as they search for answers via abandoned campsites and ancient caves. They uncover an alien conspiracy that threatens the whole of humanity as they encounter pterosaurs and the military trying to stop them. Can they change perceptions and get to the bottom of the mystery?

This was a complex mystery that had many layers in the story as it built into a final conclusion. It was a little slow to start but I soon became addicted to the story and found myself reading faster as I needed to know what happened next. This is a great trilogy that will keep your attention to the very end. Well written and easy to understand.

The Dragon's Glare by T.J. Wolf
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story starts in 2019 - three years after Una Waters found the Hopi artefact in the previous book. She is sent on a special assignment from DC to New York - specifically Chinatown in the city - when there is a cuber breach at the NYPD and she comes back into the realm of General Ashcroft who now works in US Cyber Security. Then Jack Howser arrives to investigate a UFO sighting and Una connects it to an incident where some time was missed during the Chinese New Year parade. After an encounter Una feels closer to the Sky People from her Hopi childhood and she she realises that the humans on Earth need to start to accept that they are not alone.

This was a fast moving and complex story that needs your full attention so you can appreciate the skill that the story was woven together by the author. It tied together Hopi and Chinese folklore and that added a great deal to the story. Well written and very enjoyable it was the kind of read that you need to take your time with to absorb everything. This is the second book in the trilogy and although I think it could make sense to just start at this book I believe to truly appreciate the story and the relationships between some of the characters you should read the first book before this one. Very enjoyable and starting to build up nicely for the next book which is the last one in the trilogy.

A GLEAM OF LIGHT by T.J. Wolf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Una Waters experienced an encounter at 30,000 feet on a flight when she was eight and it changed her from that point forward. 21 years later she returns to the Hopi Reservation she grew up on to answer a plea for help from a childhood friend. It appears that the US Army has become interested in a cave on their tribal grounds. She finds she has to try to prevent violence, deal with the General in charge and produce proof to register it for protection as an ancient site. As part of doing that she has to revisit the past and retrieve whatever the US Army is really there to find.

There are many layers in this story that are seamlessly woven together to build a story that chronicles the traditional clash between Native American culture, progress with a hint of something not of this world mixed in. A dramatic story that will pull you in so that you have a need to read the next story to find out what happens next. Well written and very enjoyable.
