Beyond the light barrier [Unknown Binding]

Elizabeth Klarer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1980

Beyond the Light Barrier is the autobiographical story of Elizabeth Klarer, a South African woman, and Akon, an astrophysicist from Meton, a planet of Proxima Centauri, which at a distance of about 4.3 light years, is our nearest stellar neighbor. Elizabeth was taken in his spaceship to Meton where she lived with his family for four months, and where their son was born. Her life on Meton is fascinatingly described. He brought Elizabeth back to Earth and continued to visit her. Akon explained how the light-propulsion system used in the spaceship operated, which is explained in detail in the book. Elizabeth was given a standing ovation at the 11th International Congress of UFO Research Groups at Wiesbaden in 1975 and her speech as guest of honor was applauded by scientists of 22 nations. This is the long-awaited reprint of the original 1980 edition in English.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've ever read., April 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Beyond the light barrier

Beyond the Light Barrier is probably the best book I've read in a long time. The love Elizabeth and Akon shared, and still share, is beaituful.

The information Akon relayed to Elizabeth regarding space travel, etc., is highly interesting.

I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who believes that we are not alone in this universe, and have never been alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book about friendly abduction & Alpha Centauri, November 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beyond the light barrier

A friend of mine from North Carolina had a copy of this rare, unavailable, out of print book. I really enjoyed it, especially the details given about the Alpha Centauri star system and their world around the star Proxima Centauri. The detailed descriptions of the world, including detailed scientific descriptions were excellently done, except that they could have referred to what specific types of TREES grow on that world. I am glad to know that humans in other star systems have evolved to the point of being peaceful, loving people with a positive minded technology to care for the planet, not pollute it, and be able to control its weather to prevent it from being violent. Maybe we Earthlings will eventually achieve the same. As far as Elizabeth and Akon's love was concerned, it was great and genuine and everything, but Elizabeth was already married to an Earth husband, even though at the end of the story she finally writes that she was divorced from her husband. It's just that Akon assumed that Elizabeth was his and that they belonged together. Akon never asked her if it was all right if he mate with her. He just did it, and while she happily went along with it, he should have asked her first, out of courtesy. While it was great that the people from Proxima Centauri studied plants and collected specimens, I still wish the author had listed the types of TREES on Proxima Centauri. Great book otherwise. Anyone interested in space travel needs to read this book.

This review is from: Beyond the light barrier

The book came immediately and in the condition it said it was in.

This story is so outrageous its hard to put down! The story is very well written and sometimes excruciating in the scientific details. The only problem is that the author sees so much romance and personality in the mountains near her home and her old car that it leads one to wonder about the validity of her story. Otherwise, its worth the read.
