Book Reviews of The Grays

Book Review: Whitley lets us share his theory
Summary: 4 Stars

Most UFO 'believers' start off as so-called 'skeptics', but generally find their viewpoints changing as their knowledge of the evidence grows. Once you get past the fact that some UFOs are probably ASCs (alien spacecraft - thanks to Stanton Friedman (Flying Saucers and Science: A Scientist Investigates the Mysteries of UFOs: Interstellar Travel, Crashes, and Government Cover-Ups) you get to an even more interesting question - who are they and why are they here?

Among Mr. Strieber's previous books are several that deal with his own purported experience with 'alien abduction' in the 1980s. A contentious and controversial topic, but one that Mr. Strieber certainly has first hand knowledge of, whether or not he truly was abducted by aliens, or suffered some other sort of phenomenon, or was just telling tall tales. Mr. Strieber's book 'The Grays' lays out his ideas (at least some of them) to explain the 'why are they here' question. Although it is couched as fiction, it is as cogent and sensible an explanation as any available in the 'non-fiction' books on the subject.

Mr. Strieber's story deals with two abductee children, now grown and trying to make sense of their own experiences while raising their genius son in a small town in Kentucky. It seems that their boy is the culmination of generations of experiments carried out by our gray-hued visitors, working for the common good of themselves and humanity. Along the way they run afoul of a mysterious and evil US Government conspiracy working to counter the Grays' plans. The story is an intense thriller and for those not familiar with the UFO world is as good a primer on the subject as any of the more serious books. Its a good yarn strictly as a thriller, well characterised with hot babes, stalwart heroes, dastardly villains, hi-tech suspense and interesting aliens and mutant humans. But it's more than just a good yarn.

Under the guise of plot details, Mr. Strieber slyly includes references and allusions to many historic and well provenanced UFO cases, both famous and obscure and to a number of prevailing theories to explain the undeniable fact of a real US Government cover-up on the subject (UFOs and the National Security State: Chronology of a Coverup, 1941-1973). Roswell is, of course, featured, along with many other incidents including the Cash-Landrum encounter in the early 80s (probably a secret US experimental craft) as well as the untimely and poorly explained death of Defense Secretary James Forrestal in 1949, rumored to be the result of his contact with captured Grays.

The story is a good read, a good thriller and maybe Mr. Strieber has actually got the right idea? We'll have to wait for the Grays to let us know.

Summary of The Grays

We are not alone. Millions of people are confronting aliens that authorities say do not exist. Whitley Strieber-author of the legendary, #1 bestselling book Communion, which details his own close encounters-now returns to the riddle of aliens with The Grays.
?
A triumvirate of Grays, known as the Three Thieves, has occupied a small Kentucky town for decades--abducting its residents and manipulating fates and bloodlines in hopes of creating an ultra-intelligent human being. Nine-year-old Conner Callahan will face the ultimate terror as he struggles to understand who he has been bred to be and what he must do to save humanity.
Though the Grays have slowly begun to make themselves known, Colonel Michael Wilkes, the head of a select group of government and military officials that have been monitoring the aliens, will do anything in his power to keep them a secret. Wilkes will set in motion a sinister plan to ensure the survival of humanity,
but at what cost?
?
The fate of the human race lies with one woman, Lauren Glass. Her uncanny ability to communicate with the aliens and her relationship with the last remaining captive gray may be the only way to save humankind.

The Grays is a mind-bending journey behind the curtain of secrecy that surrounds the subject of aliens, written by the field's great master. If you've never so much as thought about the subject before, this book will make you think deeply, not only about the mystery of who the Grays are, but who exactly we are.
