Aaron Conners (Author)

Book Description

Series: A Tex Murphy novel | Publication Date: August 9, 1995

It’s the year 2043 and post World War III Old San Francisco is a seedy, radioactive dive, but P.I. Tex Murphy calls it home. The women in Tex’s life are either washed up or shipping out, and this private dick is singing the lonesome gumshoe blues. Jack Daniels seems more like family everyday. Until one night at the Brew & Stew . . .

Project Bluebook was the official government investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects that examined, among other things, the "incident" at Roswell, New Mexico. The official story has been told: The Roswell crash was a balloon, nothing more. Project Bluebook was closed. But the real story is that Project Bluebook became Project Blueprint and helped start World War III.

How does Tex get involved? Well, he meets an old Cubana-smoking gent who’s looking for a missing friend. It doesn’t seem like much of a case at first, but then Tex Murphy has never been very good at staying out of trouble . . . and this time he’s in for lots of trouble!

5.0 out of 5 stars Who is Tex Murphy, you ask?, August 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pandora Directive: A Tex Murphy Novel (Paperback)

Tex Murphy, the San Francisco P.I. born a hundred years too late from the game Under a Killing Moon has his sequel in the game The Pandora Directive. Both games are excellent, and the book is even better. Conners did a fantastic job on the book and should please mystery fans, sci-fi fans, and Private Eye fans. This book has something for everything, grab it before it's gone. Wait, it already is, well, good luck on finding a copy. (I found one, you can too)

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant surprise, July 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pandora Directive: A Tex Murphy Novel (Paperback)

When the novelized version of Pandora Directive arrived at my house, I couldn't help but feel nervous that it would be very poor. I read it in 2 days. It was awesome. It was exciting, detailed, funny, and better then the game[which is excellent, by the way] in many ways. I reccomend it to anyone who liked the game and for anyone who wants to read a good PI story
