| The Grays Whitley Strieber Tor Forge Thriller http://www.tor-forge.com/thegrays 384 pp. Hardcover 5 Swords |
| Subtitled “They’re Already Here,” The Grays is a powerful arrow pointing straight toward the year 2012, subject of ancient prophecies such as the Mayan, the purported end of life as we know it. Yet The Grays is also grounded in the events of the last sixty years since the Roswell Crash of 1947. Whitley Strieber, who confronted his personal abduction experiences in Communion, Transformation, Breakthrough, and The Secret School, here fictionalizes his view of the true purpose of alien visitation on this planet. Yes, according to this story, aliens do exist, they do abduct, AND they are tinkering with human genetics and bloodlines. In fact, they are controlling our fate-and theirs. Eleven-year-old genius (IQ 270) Conner Callaghan grows up in a tiny Kentucky town, attending the private school system attached to the college where both parents teach. Conner is an exceptional child: quite literally he is a product of alien genetic experimentation, bred to be the savior of both aliens and humanity in the crisis year of 2012. Forthright, stimulating, and breath-stopping, The Grays is a don’t miss story for anyone concerned about the possibility of extraterrestrial sentience-and for those who believe that alien abduction scenarios are merely screen holding memories for traumatic sexual abuse events. Read simply as a thriller, the book is exciting on that level as well. I highly recommend it. |
