Title: Not worth your time
Product review: The two stars is only for the interesting accounts of Strieber's encounters with aliens. However, his analysis of the encounters seemed insane. For example, he says that our fear of the aliens will lead to a greater communion. Huh? Strieber also says that the aliens want us to reach some sort of hyper-consciousness, whatever that is, he never said. He asserts this planet will soon be run into the ground by "exploding population", and that the aliens are here to save us from ourselves. But the Earth can stand another 14 billion people, and industrialized countries are starting to level out population-wise. And some of his descriptions seem weird, even delusional, like some growling, standing beast with a wand in its hand. The book also seems to have disturbing undertones, giving the aliens some sort of spiritual prowess (for no apparent reason), when they act evil. The aliens must have finally gotten to Strieber.
