History as we know it is a lie.
Plot summary
Twentieth century history as we know it is a lie. Aliens have been among us since the late 1940s, but a government cover-up has prevented the public from such knowledge. As the series progresses, we follow John Loengard and Kim Sayers through the Sixties as they attempt to foil the plots of the alien Hive, most of which are tied to historical events and figures, including most notably the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In addition, the pair must stay one step ahead of a covert government agency with mixed motives, Majestic 12.
