Summary: DO NOT PASS THIS UP!
Review: The most objective book I have read on the subject. With all the facts.

Summary: I must have missed the boat (or UFO)
Review: Since all the other reviews rate this book a 10, potential buyers should know this book is not exactly convincing. I was very excited to get this book and read a critical examination of UFO evidence. This book is NOT a critical examination of anything. It starts with a few false arguments then bases the rest of the book on these same arguments. For example: Eduard Meier (the man who claimed multiple contacts, hoaxed hundreds of photos and movies) is admitted to be a con man by the author then in the next paragraph will be used as an example of proof of alien visitation to our planet. This entire book is statements of: This has been shown to be false, but what if 1% of it is true? Apparently that 1% of doubt that anything could be true then makes it true in the author's eyes. I started this book with a interest in UFOs and ended with an embarassing feeling of how gullible humans are. I do not rate the book a one because many of the theories put forth are worth the entertainment value of reading them and laughing (alternative 3 is my favorite!)

Summary: One Line Cannot Possibly Sum It Up
Review: This book is incredibly well-researched, intelligent, at times, unnerving. The doggedly thorough (and fair) journalism will convince even the greatest skeptic (formerly, me). I'd say this is one of the most important new books out there.

Summary: One of the best UFO books I've read.
Review: This book, along with "Above Top Secret," and"Alien Contact," both by Timothy Good, are must-reads foranyone interested in UFO's. I would recommend reading Mr. Good's two books first (in the order listed), then this one. Some of the information in this book stretches the boundaries of belief, but it is well-researched and presented in an intelligent and rational manner, as are Mr. Good's books. This is a quality book on the UFO subject.

Summary: Well worth it...
Review: Great book. Next time you're at the bookstore (or here at Amazon, :) ) staring at the endless supply of new UFO books, wondering if everybody but you has written one, take heart and pick this book up. It's a definite cut above all the other cheap paperback "noise", and if nothing else, provides a fascinating new way of looking at our moon.

Summary: Winner of Excellence in UFO Reporting
Review: Winner of Excellence in UFO Reporting goes to Jim Marrs for his search for answers to the alien agenda. The Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter doesn't take the subject lightly but digs and finds details not seen elsewhere. Like any in-depth investigation, you'll not be able to read the book in an afternoon. A book that keeps on giving, it's a real value for the price. I only wonder why Marrs' counterparts who call themselves journalists could have been asleep when this was released. WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION! ALIEN AGENDA should sit on your bookshelf along with ABOVE TOP SECRET and DAY AFTER ROSWELL. Is the alien agenda, theirs, ours or both? Read this book and find out.

Summary: Excellent, well-researched book!
Review: A well-researched book and a "must read" for students of Ufology, debunkers and skeptics alike. For those of you who have been avoiding this issue it is time to become informed. The author sums it all up in his introduction: "To get beyond..a restrictive mindset, one must be open to all possibilities-to seriously consider alternative theories and explanations". If you had a restrictive mindset when you started this read you won't when you're finished!

Summary: Alien Agenda is a must read - and a great read!
Review: Whether you believe in UFOs, ancient astronauts and government coverups or not, "Alien Agenda" should be on your reading agenda.
Marrs is a consummate storyteller, and has gone to great lengths to research the lore of Ufology. Unlike some of the more spaced-out UFO authors, Marrs does not shy away from pointing out inconsistencies and hoaxes. That only made him more believable when he addressed some of the more troubling ET encounters.
All in all, a balanced and well-written account which I do not hesitate to recommend to believers and unbelievers alike.

Summary: Excellent reading & great information. Still Timely
Review:
I thought Alien Agenda was well worth reading with some really new information. The research, writing and organization of material by the Author are way above average.
If you haven't bought a general review of UFOs, Alien Contact, and Secret Government Conspiracy, then I'd say this is a 'must read.' Also, Dr. Paul Hill's "Unconvential Flying Objects" has lenghty details about the crafts and sightings that will please both the novice and scientist.
And of course Brad Steiger's "Alien Rapture" is in a category all by itself in combining an exciting novel with newly released documents and detailed description of the flying triangle as well as why the government(s) have kept the secret and what is at stake. I've read all three of these selections from Amazon and I suggest you read all the reviews before buying. For the first timer, this is an excellent general guide to read.
I highly recommend you check out all of Jim Marrs books on Amazon. This is just one example of his amazing writing and research.
And, suggest you ignore ColdFusion Elf's one star review. Seems like he spends all his time reading and rating the Harry Potter books and the Left Behind series by Tim Lahaye.

Summary: This is the Best UFO Book that I have ever read!
Review: OK, sounds kind of hokey. But it really is a fantastic book. If you want a most comprehensive study into the entire UFO "world", this is the book for you. It reads well. It is written in an enjoyable style. It is thought provoking, and lends itself to other areas of investigation. If there is one book that I would recommend for the study of UFO's, then this is the book. I can't see how anyone wouldn't enjoy this book. Whether or not you believe in the alien UFO lore, you have to admit, this book puts it all out there. I would say that this is the kind of book that you would grab with both hands and gobble it down in a weekend. What a wonderful read!
