5.0 out of 5 stars
This book set the standard for Rosewell stories, April 16, 2003
Don't listen to the negative reviews of this book. I've read this book as a skeptic and came out stunned by the content inside. No other book has effected me, EVER, so don't think I'm a Jim Jones lost soul looking for the answers to the universe. I am a scientist first and foremost and I found this riveting. I gave away my first copy to friend who made me look like a UFO fanatic. He didn't believe anything suspicious and came out with wide eyes and a whole new perspective on things. It's not that this book is a literal translation of one man's journey, but the facts that are true that are embedded in the story match nearly all published information about the crash. Whitley does an amazing job bringing all the known facts under one roof. This non-fiction book will blow your proverbial mind into little tiny not-so-skeptical pieces. READ THIS BOOK, if you're the slightest fan of this information. Otherwise, know that you have skipped the best book ever written on the subject.

Imagine the X-Files...from the Government's side, July 21, 1998
By A Customer
This is one of the most compulsively readable books I've chewed through in quite a while. In seamlessly blending fact and fiction, Streiber creates a book much more compelling his treacly personal accounts of the aliens. In his hands the concept a government conspiracy to cover up the truth of a UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico does more than make sense--it seems downright logical.

Read it. Love it. Dream of it., August 15, 2000
This book completely transfixed me! It's a truly engrosing read that you're sure not forget. I read it first years ago from the library and have been looking everywhere to buy a copy for myself! Only now have I found it. I was stuck to this book the moment I picked it up and even now, years later, I still find myself thingking of it! He deftly belnds what little fact is known of the Roswell crach and blends it with his own extrapolations. What makes the book so remarkable are those extrapolations. They seem completely plausible and realistic and are meticulously thought out. Every detail seems to make sense and drawns you further into the world he has created. Wether any of his extrapolations are correct is what keeps you thinking about the book. Trying to figure out if there was something he forgot or something that just doesn't add up. If you want an engaging read, one that presents a puzzle to be solved andtold in the most entertaining and engaging ways, then this book is for you!
