About this listen
From New York Times best-selling author Bob Mayer writing as Robert Doherty: Now we know what the government hid there. It's time we found out why....
Hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest is a place shrouded in mystery. It is called The Mission. And in nearby villages people are screaming in pain as they die from a virus more deadly than Ebola. They can't escape it. They can't cure it. They can't stop it from exploding into a worldwide epidemic poised to kill us all....
Scientist Lisa Duncan and Special Forces Officer Mike Turcotte suspect this new "Black Death" is actually a biological weapon in an escalating war between us...and "them".
Them? The aliens who are part of a chilling conspiracy connected to ancient riddles, a covert government agency...and Area 51. Now from the Great Wall of China to a top-secret facility beneath Antarctica's ice cap, an eclectic group of soldiers and scholars are working with Duncan and Turcotte to give humankind one last shimmering hope to survive. To stop the aliens - at least until the Pandora's box of Area 51 opens up again....

Story
Many millennia ago, humans, including us, were seeded on 15 worlds by an alien race, the Airlia. We believe we evolved, but the reality is we were bred as cannon fodder for the Airlia’s interstellar war against the Swarm, a viral race whose only mission appears to be the obliteration of sentient life wherever encountered. On some worlds humans realized the truth about their origins, uncovered their hidden alien overlords, and rebelled.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.... Nothing is as it seems and everything’s fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.

Are we done, yet?
This series, which began with such promise in Area 51, has become rather long in the alien's tooth. This is mindless fiction, of course, but the story is difficult to follow, and then you realize, why bother? The various good and bad aliens and their earth bound allies and clones have just become tedious.

waiting for war..
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to a friend. It is interesting to learn about the two sets of aliens and the history. I still feel a bit confused not knowing which are good or bad and supposed to be protecting the human race. And I have to admit I was ready for the war and it isn't in this book.
What other book might you compare Area 51: the Mission to and why?
The first 2 books within this series.. I haven't read anything else that can compare so I can only compare it to the first 2 books.
What about Jeffrey Kafer’s performance did you like?
Emotion
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The war continues..
Any additional comments?

Too many antagonists
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
We'll, it wasn't for me so I probably wouldn't recommend it. Too confusing to follow.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I couldn't get that far.
What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He does a very good job and is enjoyable to listen to.
Any additional comments?
I loved the first two books but this one was so confusing that I couldn't keep track of who were the "good guys" and who were the "bad guys'. And then he brought in the religious cult and that was the end of my desire to listen to it. I can't help but think that the author should have made the second book the ending to the series. This one isn't enjoyable because it is too complicated and not really much fun to listen to.

Getting better with both narration and suspense
The author has improved the tightness of the story and improved the writing style.
I can't believe am listening to the 3rd book. Its actually good.
Narration has improved, although not upto standards set by Ray Porter.
Sometimes find it difficult to differentiate characters since same type of narration and accent is used.
The story is now complex and contains more depth.
Well done.

An Entertaining Read/Listen
This is my first audible book and I thoroughly enjoyed the book and being able to listen or read. Some elements of the book I had read about before so they weren't new to me. I did enjoy how he incorporated them into the story. Performance? I don't know how it compares to other audible books, did seem like he talked a little slow, but that's just me.
I read this book in one day and I'm looking forward to the next one!

Adrenal Pace
Would you consider the audio edition of Area 51: the Mission to be better than the print version?
The reader's performance is competent if not excellent, considering the number of voices, male and female as well as accents that must be incorporated into the story. Well done here!
Who was your favorite character and why?
The alien "helper" characters are the best because we're not quite sure they're on our side and they have individual personalities rather than the stereotypical "submit or be absorbed" type thing.
Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not particularly, although I find any selfless sacrifice of life to be moving and there are several of those moments in this book.
Any additional comments?
Fast paced, grabs you IMMEDIATELY and does not let go... might lighten up on the grip a bit but definitely does not let go.
