In Jeffrey Roswell McCord's book, Undocumented Visitors in a Pirate Sea, mystery and intrigue intersect in a dramatic and befuddling documentation of extraterrestrial activity in the Caribbean. A historian working for the US Government discovers the startling news that there have been aliens sighted and documented for more than 50 years in the same areas of the Caribbean. Now politics collide with the country's best interests and an unsolved mystery has everyone on a dangerous edge.

Even I, with an extensive reading background that encompasses almost every genre, am at a loss as to where to place this book on the spectrum of genres. It's got a little bit of everything and I believe that will make it appealing to many different literary seekers. I chose to read this book because pirates are SO my thing. Even before Captain Jack Sparrow made them cool again, I thought pirates were the best thing since sliced bread...or maybe before that...not really sure on the time frame. So imagine my surprise when the book wasn't really all that much about pirates...but about aliens. Cool concept, I mean Cowboys and Aliens had its moments, why not pirates as well? In addition to all that, you can also inject a little political conspiracy theory (I mean...the author's middle name is Roswell...coincidence? I think not!). Undocumented Visitors is a really cool and unique story that is worth a read. I'm pretty sure there is a little bit of substance to entice readers of every genre, and McCord has mastered the art of the plot twist. This book was clearly researched extensively and that really shows in the fine detail of the piece. An excellent read for anyone at all, in my opinion.

In Undocumented Visitors in a Pirate Sea, a sci-fi novel by Jeffrey Roswell McCord, Dr. Thayer Harris is a professor living on the Virgin Islands with his family. He's soon jerked out of the idyllic island life when he's asked to investigate a mysterious death. But he isn't investigating your average mysterious death - with contact from U.S. Naval Intelligence he's investigating an extraterrestrial angle. Already harboring a mild interest in UFO and other extraterrestrial phenomena, his research leads him from figures such as John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan to events as disparate as the European invasion of the New World, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. As he gets deeper into his research, he is soon visited by outside intelligence; the terrestrial and not so terrestrial, the benign and not so benign.

Undocumented Visitors in a Pirate Sea is a very entertaining read and it's filled with notes so that curious readers can do more research on their own. Perhaps because of Mr. McCord's long journalistic background, Undocumented Visitors in a Pirate Sea reads more like a super-long news article or college dissertation - albeit a very entertaining and engaging one - but the heavy use of annotations, quotes from outside source material, and even the way the dialogue is formatted doesn't lend itself to a sci-fi novel feel. If it wasn't for the addition of aliens, this could almost be mistaken for a non-fiction book. Even so, I found the book to be very interesting and informative, and if the ending is anything to go by, then a sequel is in the works.

Being washed ashore with his zipper closed was certainly an unusual occurrence when the body of former Marine gunnery sergeant Roger Baskins, an undocumented visitor on the British Virgin Island of Norman Island, was discovered on St. John’s East End. It was an indicator that the gunny hadn’t been intoxicated and relieving himself which was the usual reason for a Marine to fall off of a boat. However, the tattoos on his body, and one in particular, gave the U.S. Navy enough of an excuse to draw maritime historian Thayer Harris, PhD, into a secret investigation of the possibility of extraterrestrial involvement in the incident; also undocumented visitors to the Islands. Mixed within the intrigue of the mysterious drowning and subsequent investigation are the extreme levels of dishonesty and conspiracy surrounding UFO and USO sightings on the part of U.S. security agencies.
