I spent quite some time hunting this book down after beinghooked by all the "science-faction" hype, and thesensational reviews on Amazon.com. I love good fiction and am seriously interested in UFOlogy. Unfortunately, I was let down in all areas, and a Jackson lighter in the pocket. For starters, the writing is mediocre pulp at best.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I've read in years., April 30, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Alien Rapture: The Chosen (Paperback)
I listened to Edgar Fouche's presentation at the LA MUFON meeting and sat with about twenty other people at a restaurant for a couple of hours after the meeting. No one had a problem telling the difference between his factual experiences and technology which he talks about at his presentations. I've also listened to all his archived radio shows on Rense.com which fascinated me.

Alien Rapture on the other hand is filled with information he experienced and gathered from his career in the USAF, DoD, and as a Defense contractor. He divulges much new information on the government UFO cover-up, black programs where reverse engineering of Alien technology takes place and the ultra secret MJ-12 committee. Although the book is written as an incredibly thrilling fiction story, the facts in the book stand on their own. For instance, the factional information was copyrighted by the authors and posted on Mr. Fouche's web page in 1994. Facts about the removable black wrap-around lens covering the Alien's eyes before Corso wrote After Roswell, and before the Government Remake for Disinformation, of the Alien Autopsy was aired on TV.

Two years ago the author was talking about black programs using an advanced plasma for propulsion, whish is also in the book. Just recently NASA and the Russians revealed the same. I must confess, I bought my book from Galdepress.com. All this NEW information is woven into the best fiction story I've read in years. Looking at the other reviewers, I'm in good company. Read all of them before you pass judgement. The MJ-12 Charter and Alien Autopsy Report from Roswell are included as attachments. Fouche was the first to reveal them. GREAT fiction and a must buy!

This review is from: Alien Rapture: The Chosen (Paperback)
I spent quite some time hunting this book down after beinghooked by all the "science-faction" hype, and thesensational reviews on Amazon.com. I love good fiction and am seriously interested in UFOlogy. Unfortunately, I was let down in all areas, and a Jackson lighter in the pocket. For starters, the writing is mediocre pulp at best. Bottom line, anyone here who says this is "great writing" doesn't know great writing. The editing is suprisingly shoddy with multiple grammatical and spelling errors. The characters are a notch above stereotype. The plot line has sonar pings coming off it from ten miles out. Other than the TR-3B craft information, I found nothing new anywhere between the covers. All in all, this is the kind of book that you accidentally spill suntan oil on during your summer beach vacation. With that said, however, UFOology research does seem to reach a point of diminishing returns much like heroin addiction. You're always looking for the next "lid-blowing" revelation, the next big fix. So, for those who aren't so steeped in the field, and aren't bothered by mediocre writing this might be just the ticket. To be honest, certain books that blew me away several years ago now seem trite. It's like the comedian says to the young drunk kid in the crowd, "Yeah, I remember when I had my first beer, too. Keep drinkin', kid."

5.0 out of 5 stars TS Black Projects in this story have been rumored for years., May 10, 2002
By 
This review is from: Alien Rapture: The Chosen (Paperback)
I read this terrific book because George Filer, MUFON Eastern Director wrote: It has been rumored for years that the military's black operations have perfected incredibly advanced gravity-defying triangular super secret aerial platforms at least partially derived from ET technology.

Proof of such vehicles is in a book entitled Alien Rapture. Tonight, the world's most exotic and classified aerospace vehicle could be stealthily hovering over Phoenix, Belgium, or your city, where hundreds of sightings have been made by reputable citizens and even police officers. It is known as the TR-3B, Astra, or Flying Triangle. Pictures and witness reports on the web are numbered in the thousands.

The book reveals, through a superb fiction thriller genre, top secret information about reverse engineered alien technology from recovered alien artifacts. The triangular shaped nuclear powered aerospace platform was developed under the Aurora Program. The hypersonic reconnaissance SR-75 Penetrator replaced the USAF SR-71 spy plane and the TR-3B's (Flying Triangle) first operational flight was in the early 90s. At least three craft costing a billion dollars each were flying by 1994. The TR-3B vehicle's outer coating is reactive to electrical stimulation and can change color, reflectiveness, and radar absorptiveness.

The craft can appear as a small aircraft or a flying cylinder. It can trick radar receivers into falsely detecting a variety of aircraft, no aircraft, or aircraft at various locations. A circular, plasma filled accelerator ring called the "Magnetic Field Disrupter" (MFD) surrounds the rotatable crew compartment. Sandia and Livermore laboratories developed the reverse engineered MFD technology. The MFD generates a magnetic vortex field that disrupts or neutralizes the effects of gravity on mass within proximity by 89 percent. This effect enables the craft to outperform and outmaneuver any other aircraft.

The myriad sightings of triangular UFOs give this book credibility. MUFON and the National UFO Reporting Center alone have received thousands of sightings of the flying triangle.

I highly recommend this book. I liked the technical and secret information sprinkled throughout the book and my wife liked the human story about a man on a quest to find the truth. This story reads like a Michael Crichton novel.

2.0 out of 5 stars Two stars only because I finished it., May 19, 2004

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Alien Rapture: The Chosen (Paperback)
I have an open mind about the possibility that Earth and mankind have been the subject of visits from other civilizations. It is at least possible. It is also possible that the US Government knows more than it is telling. This is the premise of "Alien Rapture" and I had hoped that this novel would live up to its expectation: that it would constitute intelligent speculation about what might really be going on.

No such luck. First, the writing itself. The novel is written in a remarkably poor manner, almost at a sub-professional level. The storyline is jerky, the characters are cardboard, one-dimensional figures, and the book is riddled with cliche's. I won't give away the ending except to say that I found it to be laughable.

The author's speculations about US aircraft based upon alien technology were uninteresting and uninspired. So were the author's attempts to weave known historical events into his premise that various governmental figures of the past knew The Truth. It may very well be the case that the government knows more than it is telling the public. This novel, however, fails to present a convincing story or case about this to the reader. It mainly contains warmed-over speculations based upon the "Roswell Incident" and old speculations about Area 51. Nothing new here.

Overall a disappointment. I do not understand the various other glowing Amazon reviews. I gave this one two stars instead of one only because I was able to finish it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book has but one problem..., March 16, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Alien Rapture: The Chosen (Paperback)
The book has but one problem... but its a bigee!
The problem was that it had to come to an end.
What a bummer! And just when I was about ready for another two or three hundred pages.

This fictional work by Fouche and Steiger makes use of many of the major theories concerning UFO and Abduction experiences and mixes in the elements of a secret government cover up and the religious aspects of the problem. These theories are admirably and intricately woven into the story.

And so I found it difficult to put it down; most unusual in a market fraught with all manner of less than stimulating productions, many of which proclaim having "The Truth" defining the genre's mysteries. Truth indeed. Even taken as fiction, the "truth" proclaimed in these other works of "fact" bear little resemblance to the believability contained in the "Alien Rapture," And this "is" a work of fiction!

Further, there appears to be a good dose of fact in wide use in this book. And to Fouche's credit, his own aerospace and military experience and some good science, is in generous use early on, giving the plot a much higher degree of believability.

Whether one is a believer or skeptic, or just interested in a good read, Alien Rapture fits the bill. I've met Mr. Fouche and found him to be modest, truthful, amd highly intelligent. His credentials are amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book yet about aliens, UFO's, and government cover-ups!, August 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Alien Rapture: The Chosen (Paperback)
"Alien Rapture, The Chosen," by Edgar Fouche, is the best book yet about aliens, UFO's, and government cover-ups! I could not put this book down.

I would submit that Edgar Fouche has answered, if not brought closure, to the most anticipated questions of our time by adroitly weaving fictional characters around the most closely guarded, classified secrets ever! This book far surpasses the myriad others that try to claim factual revelations regarding exobiology.

I had the distinct privilege to work for Edgar Fouche. Ed was the Senior Project Manager for a critical USAF undertaking. I've never met a person so well connected in the inner circles of the defense/aerospace arena as Mr. Fouche.

Edgar Fouche has an insider's perspective that only a handful of people have, and I know he's probably on the fringe of compromising his oaths of secrecy, jeopardizing very high-level clearances granted by multiple agencies. For this reason I wish him and his loved ones a long, healthy, prosperous, and safe life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a timely and accurate book. Fun reading!, March 5, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Alien Rapture: The Chosen (Paperback)
It took five years of interviews and cross checking facts on the governments hidden agenda dealing with UFO contacts and reverse engineering of alien technology to write Alien Rapture. Brad Steiger is a noted UFO expert and researcher. Fouche's bio is posted on the web and details the black and special programs he's worked. I've seen him on TV several times.

Although written as a fiction story about several people on a quest to uncover the 'truth' about the MJ-12 committee and the Top Secret government cover-up, the facts, technology, and secret government agenda are true. Judge for yourself, the new MJ-12 Charter and the Alien Autopsy Report were all obtained and copyrighted two years before the Alien Autopsy Film surfaced. Each of these documents are included as attachments to Alien Rapture - The Chosen.

Many UFO books leave most questions unanswered and pose new questions. I assure you that after reading this book, you will have more facts and details about the cover-up and reverse engineering of Alien Technology than you could ever imagine. Pass the link on to your friends. You'll love the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hey guys, lighten up., March 27, 2005
By 
This review is from: Alien Rapture: The Chosen (Paperback)
If you buy any non-fiction or fiction work about UFOs or Aliens DON'T EXPECT it to be GREAT LITERATURE. Let me make a couple of points:

1. Don't expect a REAL INSIDER to break his secret's oaths or non-disclosure agreements. According to US AFRs and DoD Regs, such a person cannot directly relate anything that he read, worked on, or saw that was Secret or above. However, if his best friend or a trusted source tells him what he already knows, then it is second hand information. That is obviously why the authors used a fiction format to DISCLOSE information, which we would otherwise not have known.

2. If a book is not published by a major publishing company with wide ranging resources, then expect it to have an occasional error. There are web sites which post detailed lists of errors and mistakes of major movies which cost over 100 million dollars to make. A mistake is not a brick wall, it's just a mistake.

This book has a nice little story that really is entertaining, but it manages to discuss a lot of the secret methods, procedures, and happenings in the DoD's Black Budget or Deep Black programs and blend them into the story for the novice. And if you're a UFO buff like myself, I've seen the Black Triangle once outside of Tempe Arizona at night, then you will recognize that the authors information on this vehicle is more detailed than you will read anywhere else. I'd say this is one of the top five UFO books in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars pretty exciting story and information, March 15, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Alien Rapture: The Chosen (Paperback)
My dad bought me this book as I'm into anything that has to do with science, physics, UFOs and technology. He said one of the guys he worksat DARPA recommended it.

My dad is in the Special Projects Office. I read it and it shocked me that so much of what is really classified stuff is in this book. My dad said everyone knows about the author and the flying triangle he writes about, but can't talk about it in public. Besides the cool inside information on black programs I really got into the story.

I have an uncle who is a Vietnam soldier who is kinda like Joe Green the star of the story and I actually had a bad dream about Agabarr after reading the torture chapter. Red seems like he is a neat guy and I'd like to go prospecting with someone like him. What I don't understand is why the government is keeping this all secret when people on black programs know it's real. I want to be an astronaut and go to mars when I grow up. I start college in two years and can't wait to be on my on.
