  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are not alone. Millions of people are confronting aliens that authorities say do not exist. Whitley Strieber&amp;#8212;author of the legendary, #1 bestselling book &lt;i&gt;Communion,&lt;/i&gt; which details his own close encounters&amp;#8212;now returns to the riddle of aliens with &lt;i&gt;The Grays&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A triumvirate of Grays, known as the Three Thieves, has occupied a small Kentucky town for decades--abducting its residents and manipulating fates and bloodlines in hopes of creating an ultra-intelligent human being. Nine-year-old Conner Callahan will face the ultimate terror as he struggles to understand who he has been bred to be and what he must do to save humanity.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Though the Grays have slowly begun to make themselves known, Colonel Michael Wilkes, the head of a select group of government and military officials that have been monitoring the aliens, will do anything in his power to keep them a secret. Wilkes will set in motion a sinister plan to ensure the survival of humanity, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but at what cost? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The fate of the human race lies with one woman, Lauren Glass. Her uncanny ability to communicate with the aliens and her relationship with the last remaining captive gray may be the only way to save humankind.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Grays&lt;/i&gt; is a mind-bending journey behind the curtain of secrecy that surrounds the subject of aliens, written by the field&amp;#8217;s great master. If you&amp;#8217;ve never so much as thought about the subject before, this book will make you think deeply, not only about the mystery of who the Grays are, but who exactly we are.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Entertaining with lots of real life factlets from the guy who wrote the non-fiction book on Aliens &quot;Communion.&quot;  The story-line was not so enthralling that I was very interested in the ending (everyone knows what's going to happen, I mean puh-leeze), but was surprised at a few things.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I totally didn't know that the author really belives in UFO's and stuff like that, so I thought this was just a fun story. Very &quot;DaVinci Code&quot;. I've been encouraged to read his other books, but I really have no interest in &quot;true&quot; alien stories right now.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not my favorite book. The author himself believes that what he's writing about is true, and who knows? There are some thought-provoking theories about humankind's past/genetic history. But the aliens-among-us stuff was a bit more than I really enjoy.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not a big UFO reader but was a fan of the X-Files.  This was a pretty good read.  I have liked Whitley's other books and would recommend the book.  There were some political references that I wasn't crazy but to each there own.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Loved Communion and found this disappointing.  I don't really know what he was trying to communicate in this book but I didn't get it.  <br/><br/>I'm a UFO buff and it was only that reason that kept me reading it all the way through.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A great idea - Strieber is trying to answer the question as to why aliens would be abducting us. Unfortunatley, it is not all that well written, and the character development is slim to none. Meh.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another slightly wacked out fantasy about alien abduction from the author who actually believes in it.  This one had a fairly satisfying ending, however, compared to &quot;communion.&quot;]]></body>
