Summary

In 1948, an alien starship crash-landed in the New Mexico desert and brought with it the key to mankind’s future. Code-named the Rho Project, the landing was shrouded in secrecy, and only the highest-ranking US government and military personnel knew it existed. Until now.

The US president is preparing to unveil one of the nation’s greatest secrets when three students stumble across the wreckage of a second ship outside of Los Alamos. With a single touch, the alien technology the government has spent untold resources trying to unlock is uploaded into the minds of three teenagers — teenagers who now know the frightening truth about the Rho Project.The battle for humanity has begun.

The second ship

A great plot and storyline, and for a science fiction story some of the characters were almost believable. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I intend listening to the next in the series.

The Rho Agenda

The Rho agenda was a surprise find for me, having seen it on the Audible website. Not quite what I was expecting, but I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Something a little different

Not my usual scif-fi, but very enjoyable. So much so, I am already on Book 2. Certainly worth a credit.

Turned out to be quite a good sci-fi mix..

A good mix of alien ships, a trio of teen kids (and their "Brady Bunch" families in tow) political conspiracy, mystery of origin, a dash of psychopathic personalities, and just good ole sci-fi. All rolled into one. Despite the focus on the "goody two shoes, slightly irritating teenagers," I actually enjoyed it, as their parts were folded in pretty well within the story.

Very engaging audiobook series

I've now listened to all three in the Rho Agenda series and found them to be very very good in audio format and excellently narrated. Good storylines and well paced if some are a little predictable at times but I found this added to the experience and great character building too. Room for a continuance of the series - I hope so Mr Phillips...

Great book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It keeps you listening

Have you listened to any of MacLeod Andrews’s other performances? How does this one compare?

MacLeod Andrew is a great Narrator and is able to distinguish between characters very well.
