The Methuselah Project (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692098684)

As Hitler rose to power in Germany, a Nazi human experimentation program designed to develop the perfect Aryan specimen began. The lead scientist of this program, Dr. Henrik Mueller soon abandoned this endeavor for ethical reasons and covertly immigrated with his family to America.

Subsequently hired by the National Health and Space Institute (NHSI) of the War Department, Mueller helped develop a medical research project designed to increase the longevity of military personnel; it involved experimenting with steroids, vitamins, and blood transfusions from captured extraterrestrials being held at Groom Lake, Nevada (Area 51).

One of the six Volunteers, selected for their blood type and intelligence, soon realized that they were being manipulated... used as human guinea pigs in a bizarre government activity. When one volunteer died after the first blood transfusion, Sergeant Jim Murphy, USMC, emerged as the leader of the remaining volunteers. This subsequently resulted in the discovery of a secure out-building where the medical research was conducted and extraterrestrials were being held. The ramifications and drama following this breach required the intervention of the under secretary of war, legal maneuvering, and the testing of nerves and will power.

This is a gripping story of covert government research, deception, and treason.
