This novel is written from the point of view of the Main Character who experiences all the events presented in the book. There is a "inner fact book" contained within the fiction novel. The reader reads the fact book right along with the fictitious Main Character. The presentation of UFO related facts in the "inner fact book" will make clear to the reader what is real information related to UFOs and what is fictitious material which provides the story presented in the novel. (There is a bibliography at the end of the book which lists the references used in the "inner fact book.")

Brisk, informative and comprehensive,
By
This review is from: Abduction In My Life: A Novel of Alien Encounters (Paperback)
Dr. Bruce Maccabee's "Abduction in My Life" is a part-fiction, part-fact overview of the UFO phenomenon written from the perspective of an incredulous science fiction writer. While Maccabee's treatise-written-as-a-novel may fail somewhat as a piece of literature (the characters are basically props on which to erect the author's ufological insights), "Abduction in My Life" succeeds wonderfully in introducing the reader to the bizarre world of UFO sightings and the implications of contact with nonhuman intelligence. A crisply written nonfiction book is interwoven in Maccabee's narrative, nicely complimenting the fictional abduction investigated by the protaganist. Maccabee saves the best for the final chapter, in which Maccabee's alter-ego (?) Dr. Mac Sargent takes us on a first-rate ontological crash-course, framing the UFO/alien problem in its cosmic and societal contexts. Do we dare admit the presence of alien craft in our skies? What does the UFO phenomenon tell us about our species' past? Will homo sapiens survive the next millennium? Such questions form the heart of this book. Maccabee's speculations are sanely presented and mentally invigorating. "Abduction in My Life" is a brisk yet erudite introduction to the subject of alien contact.

A Major Contribution to the Literature on Alien Abductions,
By C. Scott Littleton (Pasadena, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Abduction In My Life: A Novel of Alien Encounters (Paperback)
Sometimes a well-researched and well-written novel is worth a hundred learned treatises. This is especially true when it comes to making sense out of elusive phenomena such as UFOs, alien abductions, and the paranormal, all of which lie far outside our ordinary experiential framework. Bruce Maccabee, a highly respected UFO researcher, has produced a work of fiction that cuts to the heart of the matters in question. Indeed, his book-within-a-book, written by "Mac Sargent, Ph.D.," does a beautiful job of synthesizing the essential elements of ufology against the background of a set of fictional but extremely realistic and well-drawn alien abductions. Maccabee writes with great authority, and those who read this book will come away from it with a vastly better understanding not only of ufology, but also of the impact of what I've come to call the "Alien Raj" on the denizens of this planet, human and otherwise. As one who has attempted something similar in a recent novel, my hat is off to him. ABDUCTION IN MY LIFE has a secure place on that short-list of books that I sincerely wish I'd written! (And yes, with "Dr. Mac Sargent," I surely do "hope they're friendly!")

Typos galore; At times too preachy,

This review is from: Abduction In My Life: A Novel of Alien Encounters (Paperback)
Numerous typos obviously not the author's fault (Even the title is screwed up from the getgo--note that the main page and sidebar titles don't match), but the author must claim the preachiness of some of the fictional characters...nearly 3/5 of the way into the novel there are portions of dialogue that run on and on and on, without needful paragraph breaks. This really wearied this reader!
Overall subject and characterization quite good.
