Summary

Them is the first book ever to examine the intent of the presence known as "aliens" or "visitors" from the perspective of what both civilian and military close encounter witnesses report happening to them.

Mitch Horowitz says in his preface that it's "among the most important interpretations of visitor phenomena since Jacques Valle's Passport to Magonia appeared in 1969."

Jacques Vallee, in the foreword, states that "This book cites fact after fact to build the case for in-depth realignment of public policy with public need."

In part one of the book, Whitley Strieber analyzes the experiences of eleven close encounter witnesses and from that derives the first in-depth picture of what this extremely strange experience may mean, and what our visitors' intentions may be.

In part two, he turns to the military experience, showing how the visitors themselves have forced governments to keep their reality secret, and what the effects of conflict with them has had on public policy as well as the lives of military personnel who have confronted them. Strieber also discusses why conflict situations occurred in the past and why this may be continuing.

He then explores the enormous difficulty of communication between species with differently structured brains, and how these issues can be recognized and addressed.There has never been a book written like Them. It is as much a first as Mr. Strieber's groundbreaking volume about his own close encounter, Communion. While, with the exception of a final, riveting chapter, it does not deal with his own experiences, in it he takes advantage of over three decades of study and research to create a vision of contact that may prove foundational to useful understanding of what is now a confused, sometimes violent, and fraught relationship.

Disappointing

Incoherent and dull.
Some passages passages are repeated by the author, and once in a while you can hear an alarm going off in the background. Also the narration is monotone and boring.
Unfortunately i can not recommend this book for anyone.

Uninspiring & disappointing

I'm struggling with this & have already had to fast forward a few times which I never normally do. Whitley's narration is rather monotone & seems to go over and rehash material to the point where I suspect it's just packing out another book. I wouldn't recommend it even for enthusiasts & I suspect I won't finish it.

THE RAMBLINGS OF A BROKEN MAN

I found this book to be a fairy tale of sorts. Not in a good way. Whitley seems to have lost objectivity and seems to be wandering around in his own make believe world. I had to stop reading this because I could feel my historical admiration for Whitley dwindling, and I was starting to question everything I have read from Whitley. I believe it's time for him to put down the pen and grieve properly and perhaps a bit of counselling. Many words in this book come from a broken man who appears lost in this world and trying desperately to fill a void, that can't be filled. I am moving on now to another author, but I do hope that Whitley gets the help he needs and spends his last few years in a happy place.
