What a refreshing read, a very good book indeed. A must for all those interested in the more peculiar aspects of the world!!! The author writes in an easily digestible way that engages with a diverse amount of topics. I cite the authors knowledge on UFO mythology and his interviews with respected UFOlogists such as Timothy Good and Richard Dolan stand out.

We simply cannot have enough writers like Richard Thomas. As this book demonstrates, Thomas keeps tabs on the "para" world. His interest in the paranormal is Fortean--not just cataloging all the strange critters that science denies exists but putting them in the context deliberately defiant of that denial. And he understands the link to the parapolitical, that is the conspiracy "theorists", in reality the students of things that do not neatly fit into the standard political paradigm, things like assassinations, cover ups and real conspiracies. He does this through interviews with many of the more interesting personalities putting forth such "theories", including the prolific and formidable Nick Redfern and Richard Dolan, the great documentarian of the national security state. The reader cpmes away with the hope that Thomas produces more volumes of Para News, and that he keeps up with his blog work and newspaper reporting. There's a lot to cover...

A good read for anyone interested in UFOs, the paranormal, mystery animals and conspiracy theories. The author has written for some of my sci-fi fanzines, what makes his book Para-News stand out from others is his in-depth knowledge about science fiction as well as the paranormal field. Richard Thomas is able to bring the two together in a way few other writers can. Highly recommended, 5 stars easy!

Really enjoyed Richard Thomas's interviews with Nick Pope, Timothy Good, and Nick Redfern, who incidentally also wrote the foreword for this fantastic E-book.
