Author Grady Lee Bryant astonished me with his surprise novel of the year. Roswell One is the best fasten-your-seatbelts action thriller I've read in at least several years. Instead of reviving the often-repeated stories of a crashed spaceship, Mr. Bryant wraps the plot of this epic around the tales recounted by the Native Americans, the Apaches, whose reservation is adjactent to White Sands and not far from the crash site. Get it, read it. Excellent fiction, based at least in part on fact.

I was spellbound by the information. Mr. Bryant has catpured the essences of Rowell. His insight into the tribal history and the events that take place are uncanny. I hope to see more of his work on the market soon. His talent as a writer is so refreshing. I would just like to say thanks for this history lesson Grady.

This has to be one of the worst books ever written.

The author has no command of grammar, and especially punctuation. He has a lot of trouble properly quoting people, especially when they are asking questions.

The story is a jumbled mish-mash of conspiracy theories, alien lore, and secret agent tales.

I recognized this book was bad by approximately page 5, but I plowed through it anyway, because it was a very simple-minded story, and I was curious to see how bad it could really get. After I finished the book, my mind had not changed about the quality of both the writing, and the plot.

Even the most die-hard George Noori fan will be disappointed. Don't waste your time with this stinker.

Worldwide public awareness of UFO/ET phenomena and government suppression of facts behind them seems to never have been greater than now. I perceive the inspiration for Grady Lee Bryant to write this exciting, fast-paced, truth-conceived adventure to be almost visionary. He is to be commended, also, for assessing certain rumors or beliefs of the Mescalero Apache which were utilized credibly to relate their involvement in the Roswell, New Mexico 1940's ongoing UFO mystery....a feat in itself, since it seems many aspects of Native American cultures are closed to outsiders and are somewhat allusive. I enjoyed reading this most entertaining book.

An exciting fiction story in Southeastern New Mexico that follows the alien incident in Roswell, New Mexico.

This book has a good story and an interesting angle. I liked the involvement of the Indian characters, although the Indian aspects of the story were very superficial. It is a fun read, although lacking in any real depth. The characters are all very one-dimentional. Changes in attitude are sudden and un-supported by the story.

I found the writing style to be rather annoying. The verb tense switches repeatedly from past to present tense and back again. Sometimes in the same paragraph. It feels very sloppy.

In general, the book reads like a pre-teen chapter book, although the subject matter (government conspiracies and assasination plots) would preclude that particular audience. It's a shame, because this could have been a really terrific story.
