We talk with Mack Maloney about his latest book, Beyond Area 51, and also touch upon his previous book, UFOs in Wartime: What They Didn't Want You To Know.

Mack Maloney grew up in the Dorchester section of Boston and was taught to read and write by the nuns at St. Ann's School.

| 0:34.5 | And I am your host, Saraya, and tonight on Where Did the Road Go, we have as our guest, Mack Maloney, author of a couple books on UFOs, UFOs in wartime, and his latest Beyond Area 51. How you doing, Mac? I'm doing great tonight. Thanks for having me on. And you said you've also written a bunch of novels prior to these two books on UFOs. That's right. I've spent the past 20 years writing military adventure novels, |
| 0:57.3 | and I just happened to have a chance a few years ago to write a nonfiction book called UFOs in wartime, |
