Description
Cicely, a British school teacher, suddenly becomes afflicted with dreams of glimpses from the lives of two strangers who become entangled in a grand-scale government conspiracy. Charles and Vivian are involved in a dangerous investigation that involves locating an operative who absconded with a secret document containing priceless information.
Cicely seeks psychiatric help for her unsettling visions, but the therapy does not stop the dreams from unfolding and escalating. Are the dreams wild figments of her imagination, or are Charles and Vivian real people? If the two are, in fact, real, then Cicely has more to worry about than just bizarre dreams.
As Cicely’s dreams progress, she vicariously follows Charles and Vivian as they locate and enter a secret installation concealed in the high desert north of Los Angeles. The inhabitants of the sprawling compound are not from Earth, but that is just the beginning of a series of jaw-dropping revelations. The aliens have been secretly working with members of the government for decades, mining invaluable resources—but the real bombshell revelations deal with the mind-blowing backstory of an advanced space-faring civilization, and how their secrets, if revealed to the public, would change human civilization forever.
The Site is an impressively intricate and fast-paced science fiction thriller, with main characters facing moral issues, and whose daring search for truth and independence pits them against powerful forces and exceptional intelligences that work against their best plans.

Reviews Of The Book On BooksShelf
This book, The SIte, hooked me from the start. I liked the idea with the dreams, it was captivating. I liked the characters, they felt real and I cared for them. I love science fiction but unfortunately I've read a lot of books in that genre and now it is hard for me to like a new book. This book, however, was great. 5star rating and a recommendation from me!
The Site by Carlos Varland is a mysterious science fiction novel.
In the novel, Cicely Denfeld is a school teacher that has disturbing dreams. Those dreams are odd because she sees events happening to two unknown people to her- Charles and his partner Vivien. The team embarks on an adventure to recover a special document, taken from a firm working for the US government. In an attempt to find what is happening to her, Cicely visits a psychiatrist, but would that be enough?
What I find impressive about the book was the character development - Cicely grew from her insecurities to become stronger and confident.
To me, the story is original and intriguing because of all the unexpected twists, space travel, and cutting-edge technologies.
However, because of some sexual scenes, I would recommend the book to mature audiences.
This book is amazing down to the last page. The Site is a science-fiction novel with an intriguing storyline that is totally absorbing. Also, the characters are well developed and well described. I'd recommend it!
