Summary: A step back from the previous novel
Comment: "The Grail", book 5 in the Area 51 series, was a bit of a letdown in comparison to the "The Sphinx". While better than the other earlier books, the author seems to be trying to incorporate too many elements and artifacts into the overall storyline.
This one, like all the others, picks up where the previous novel ended. Lisa Duncan has discovered the Ark of the Covenant, but the aliens have found her. She also finds something else within the Ark that the aliens want. Other sub-storylines exist, but none which really do much to advance the overall story, hence the 3-star rating. Mike Turcotte is on the run as usual, the Easter Island saga doesn't advance, etc.
If you want to read some truly "out there" fiction, the Area 51 series will fill that desire. However, the author has now tried to incorporate too much into the series. If you ever wondered about the connections between Easter Island, the Ark of the Covenant, Atlantis, Jesus Christ, the Grail, the pyramids and Sphinx, vampires, Noah's Ark, Mount Sinai, Excalibur, etc., you'll get a kick out of how the author tries to tie everything together. Some of the connections worked early in the series, but now some of the connections seem too disjointed. The series is supposed to be finished by book 7 (after Exclalibur). Hopefully the author will tie everything together by then in a semi-logical, quasi-fictional way. Then again, he may not as there's the rumored sequel series to Area 51 next year...

Summary: RRRRREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!
Comment: Area 51: The Grail is a military suspense novel written by Robert Doherty. In Area 51: The Grail, the fifth book out of the Area 51 series, Mike Turcotte is on a quest to save the human race from an alien civil war. Area 51 is a secret military outpost inside Groom Mountain, Nevada. The aliens, the Airlia, are from the distant past, when Atlantis was thriving. This time, Mike Turcotte and the Airlia are racing to find the Holy Grail. The Grail was said to have mythical powers. Anyone who drinks from it becomes immortal. As Mike gets close to finding the Grail, Lisa Duncan, his love, finds it first, inside the Ark of the Covenant. Lisa opens the Ark and takes a drink from the Grail and becomes immortal.
Mike's travels lead him to Mount Sinai, but the Airlia is already there. Mike gets inside the mountain and finds Lisa hostage by the Airlia leader. One of the soldiers shoots Lisa to kill the leader. Lisa is brought back to Area 51, where she is presumed dead, but she sits up on the table with a hole in her stomach. The Airlia escape with the Grail.
I liked this book because it suggests that the some of the items thought to be mythical, such as King Arthur's Excalibur, could actually be real, just waiting to be found. This gives hope to some people who have none.
