hey Jingo -- thank you for this. I'd made a post-it note last night to remind myself to check on the book's release schedule. Not the first time someone on this board has served up an item which had been on my mind. <p></p><i></i>

I have it on pre-order =) May 4 is the publishing date if I remember correctly.<br><br>I read the intro chapters online at disinfo and was struck by this quote from Chapter 2 :<br><br>"Despite its interstellar pretensions, nothing about the visitor narrative suggests an extraterrestrial origin. The Grays seem to possess no inner life, no history, nothing beyond their vindictive and macabre relationship to the human species. Researchers of UFOs have noted that many, if not most, observations seem to occur along earthquake fault lines, and the caverns that abductees sometimes describe being taken to seem to be deep underground. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>The “flying saucer myth” seems a construct of these entities, a theatrical staging, to compel our belief in them</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->.<br><br>Which reminded of elements of Jeff's recent post 'What dreams may come"<br><br>Anyway... from the first two chapters, it looks like it will be an interesting read.<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
