"A heart-warming story of discovery underneath the stars."
A small town in Colorado is swept up in flying saucer fever and two young reporters are at the heart of the story. Set in 1947 and amid the spike of UFO sightings and claims, cub reporters Dean and Sam have a career making opportunity to report on the events taking place over Two-Mile Mesa. Sam, our narrator, is married with a wife, child and baby on the way, but the long, cold nightly stakeouts, plus the close proximity to the handsome Dean and the two reporters are drawn together, finding their own exciting story beneath the stars. I’m not overly fond of the title, I didn't feel like it matched the tone of the book. it felt a bit crass compared to the sweeter / gentler tone I got from the narrative. However, I think that this is an entertaining and quick to read novella that intrigued me from the beginning. I liked the additional historic touches from the reference to the end of sugar rationing to the undercurrents of the cold war when speculating on the origins of the night sky sightings. I was hooked as the story unfolded, thinking each time we had the inside scoop before the narrative took us in a different direction. The relationship between Sam and Dean was the front page story for me, it was sweet and developed with ease. Sam’s final speech at the end broke my heart a little. A heart-warming story of discovery underneath the stars.

When cub reporters Dean and Sam of the Sinai, Colorado Sentinel investigate UFOs seen over Two-Mile Mesa, they have no idea of what they’re about to face—or of what they’ll end up doing. The time is July 1947—the great flying-saucer scare, when thousands of Americans suddenly report seeing UFOs over every part of the country. Dean is gay, but Sam (our narrator) is decidedly not! But as they interview witnesses and maintain high-altitude stakeouts, Sam begins to fall in love with Dean. Are the UFOs to blame? Is Dean merely the handsomest man Sam’s ever seen, or a space alien? And are the UFOs actually Russian aircraft out to steal U.S. atomic secrets? The Air Force sends P-51 Mustang fighters to shoot down Sinai’s aerial invaders, even as the Government insists people are just seeing weather balloons. But one night, after a veritable supersonic phallus streaks overhead, Dean and Sam risk everything to let the world know the truth.
