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

By	Roger J. Buffington (Huntington Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars LONG WAY, SHORT DRINK WATER., December 25, 1999

By	DOC BARHAM "FULL SPECTRUM COACHING docbarham@... (LOS ANGELES, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 The best book I've read in years., April 30, 2002

By A Customer

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!
