Description
In his long-awaited new novel, Patrick O'Leary (Door Number Three) deftly navigates the invisible currents of secrets, age, and forgiveness. Gripping, profound, and utterly unique, 51 is sure to please fans of fans of smart paranormal nostalgia, such as the X-Files, Old Man's War, and Stranger Things.
Adam Pagnucco is just trying to help out a stranger who's down and out. He has no idea that man is Winston Koop, his exceptionally talented, ex-best friend from college. Koop and Nuke had been inseparable, but then life happened. Nuke finally quit drinking, and Koop - well, Koop disappeared into such a massive conspiracy that the government faked UFOs just to cover it up.
After removing the memories of hundreds of people, Koop is still hiding something crucial from Nuke. Time is running out for the real inhabitants of Area 51. Can Nuke find a way to forgive but not forget?
'O'Leary's 51 is literary fiction on LSD, laced with surreal dreamscapes, humour, and dark insights into the human condition.' - William C. Dietz, author of the Winds of War series
'O'Leary and his metaphysical snake slither across a hallucinogenic Alice In Wonderland/Yellow Submarine/Slaughterhouse Five narrative that is even weirder than the reality that is America.' - Mario Acevedo, author of The Nymphos of Rocky Flats
Praise for Door Number Three
'[O'Leary's] voice is fresh and funny, and he is bold enough to offer this assessment of the human condition as seen from a therapist's perspective 'The only terror that heals: the terror of being ourselves.''- New York Times
