Synopsis: From the Back Cover of the DAW Books First Edition: From agency operatives to alien invaders - We all know that we never hear the whole truth behind the headlines, behind the bizarre, tragic, earthshaking, or mysterious events which fill the news reports, the Net, and fuel rumor mills the world around. But who is behind this suppression or distortion of information, and just what is their real agenda? These clandestine government agencies, "black ops" groups, paramilitary organizations, secret publishing empires, fringe cults, infiltrators from alien lands - and perhaps alien dimensions - and their conspiracies and cover-ups are subjects of the fascinating stories included in this volume. Fresh from the fertile minds of some of today's most imaginative writers, here are the stories that take us behind the scenes to unmask the conspirators and their plots - and who knows, some of them might even be true!
