The Alien Abduction Phenomenon of the Mid-20th Century

In 'Communion', Whitley Strieber recounts his 1985 close encounter experiences at a secluded cabin in upstate New York. The book is divided into segments where Strieber describes the events that led him to believe he was being taken by 'visitors', his attempts to understand these experiences through hypnotherapy and medical evaluations, and the gathering of witness accounts from other self-proclaimed abductees. The book remains timely, exploring the idea that something unknown is happening to people, which has not been fully studied or understood. Strieber's account is both riveting and thought-provoking, making it a significant work in the realm of UFO and alien abduction literature.

The book tells the story of Betty and Barney Hill, a married couple who claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials on September 19, 1961, while driving through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The narrative includes transcripts from their hypnosis sessions, which revealed a detailed and consistent story of their abduction, medical examination, and release. This case is one of the most well-documented and influential in UFO history, and the book remains a significant work in the field of UFO studies.

In 'Abduction,' Robin Cook weaves a tale that combines human drama and high-tech thrills.

As they delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover a phenomenon that challenges current scientific understanding, leading to a thrilling and suspenseful adventure.
