Surely Better Material Elsewhere,
By ~LEON~ (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Underground Alien Bases (Paperback)
How could I not be intrigued by a book entitled "Underground Alien Bases" by a man calling himself "Commander X"? Well I was, and I bought it.
The intrigue stopped there. As far as so called conspiracy theorists go, I am willing to pass a critical eye over most things, no matter how apparently outlandish, with an open and reasonable mind. This book sorely lacked in terms of depth of content, and for someone who claims to be privy to highly sensetive gov't and military intelligence I wonder why our boy X draws so heavily on other people's books and writings? A good question is: why does it take a top secret, super-duper, risking-it-all-to-bring-us-the-truth, Fox Mulder type intelligence officer to present us with a book that is essentially little more than a compendium of other people's writings on the subject; mixed with a liberal sprinkling of "I have been told, but cannot verify..." and "According to one man, who shall remain nameless..." - even admitting in a later section of the book that the content thereafter is questionable at best??? He never delves into the "juicy" heart of a matter, merely whetting your appetite with a tale of some sort of underground alien base in one part of the world before closing and jetting off to another part of the world to tell you briefly and in the same style about an underground alien base there. Needless to say, due to a number of reasons, not least the name of the author and the high-school-magazine paperback quality of the book itself, most of what is being relayed is simply too incredible to swallow, even for a person who has an open mind regarding so called underground alien bases. As I said I have no problem with the idea of "underground alien bases", it certainly isn't an idea original to "our boy X to the Z" and too much has been made of it over the years to merely scoff at the entire concept. I do however have a problem with this book. After reading through this book I get the distinct impression that Commander X is a sweaty, basement-bound recluse resembling Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons and not a high-level intelligence officer as we are led to believe. As the title implies, there must be better material elsewhere and I for one advise you to keep looking for it.

Commander X = RIPOFF. Find it ALL for free instead,
By
This review is from: Underground Alien Bases (Paperback)
I've read the reviews of all his books, and going by the reviewers that give his books 5 stars (and the blind-sheep reviewers that agree), here's some free money-saving info:
In your search for "intelligence", try being intelligent enough to download a p2p file sharing program, and exercise your brain to come up with some keywords for your downloads. If that's too beyond your reach, just stay with the relative comfort of the Web, and use Google - and be sure to use that brain for your search phrase! LOL. Seriously people, everything in Commansder X's skimpy books can be had, along with much, much more for free on the Internet - yes, that not only includes the Web (which is only part of the Internet, contrary to what the 5-star reviewers have yet discovered), but ALL users of the Internet that happen to use p2p programs - which, by the way, are free too: LimeWire, BearShare, etc. etc. etc.

WORLD BELOW OUR FEET,
By A Customer
This review is from: Underground Alien Bases (Paperback)
Many years ago I used to listen to the Long John Nebel radio show and he would have on guest like Ray Palmer then editor of FLYING SAUCERS FROM OTHER WORLDS. Palmer would discuss his theory that the world was actually layered and that an entire civilization lived inside vast caverns tunneled out by the people from Atlantis who had help in building these tunnels from Extraterrestrials they were in contact with on a regular basis. I havent read much in recent years on the subject except THE SMOKY GODS and a book or two by Timothy Green Beckley. SO it was refreshing to find something of recent vintage on the subject of underground structues, bases and the like. Commander X comes at the subject from a military point of view -- more or less claiming that he knows where the greys -- those small, nasty, aliens -- have made their homes. Some of their underground bases are located in the vast tunnel system, while others are side by side with the underground facilities being shared with the New World Order or Secret Government. This is a very well researched and very well written addition to the library of material on subsurface activity.

Much closer to the truth than you think!,

This review is from: Underground Alien Bases (Paperback)
The tales Commander X tells are very similar to what my father used to tell us as kids in the early 1960s. He was attached to the CIA and stationed at the Pentagon. The idea of underground alien bases may seem wild to most people, but dad told the very same stories as Commander X. We had our mail censored, phones tapped and guys in suits following us around taking pictures. I was floored when I read Underground Alien Bases as it was the same stuff I heard as a kid. Not a book to be just blown off.

Just a little whacky,
By "titan2160" (Bolingbrook, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Underground Alien Bases (Paperback)
Just a little to hard too believe.This book did served it's purpose to entertain me. This is the firt Commander X book I've read, why the Commander X name, just use your real name please. No proof in what this guy is saying, there's always something when it comes to getting real proof. This guy might be nuts and I like books on U.F.O's, or this guy is on the level, not likely but maybe.

Excellent Intro into the great unknown beneath our feet!,

This review is from: Underground Alien Bases (Paperback)
Underground Alien Bases by Commander X is the first book that I read on subterranean complexes. It was so unbelieveable that I enjoyed it the first time as fiction. Since reading Underground Alien Bases and several other books of similar content I have since realized that there is more than popular theory to the existence of underground worlds.

This book is the best book in the topic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Underground Alien Bases (Paperback)
Do aliens really live unnderground in bases made by the government? Some say it is so. In this book, there is evidence and facts about this statement, and for anyone that believes in "U.F.O.s" or "Aliens" This is an excellent source of info, and for anyone who loves science fiction, this book is for you

A laugh riot,
By A Customer
This review is from: Underground Alien Bases (Paperback)
this book is absolute trash, but it is a very funny read. But if you try to take a seriously, you will put it down after a few pages, then go out in your back yard, start a roaring fire and then toss it in. And the name commander X is very corny. What is he commanding? the wallets of paranormal believers?
