Summary: Science fiction masking as scientific research
Review: There is really no proof given of the author's assertions. Somehow, abductees are able to breathe and breed no matter where they are in the universe, presumably without life-giving oxygen. People who want to believe this nonsense probably will.

Summary: Trash
Review: This book is the only one I ever read that I considered -- seriously -- ripping up and throwing in the trash. Usually, I'd just give away books I didn't like, but I consider this one dangerous to the gullible. It's pure hysteria, designed to foster panic. I believe in the abduction phenomenon myself but this book presents no evidence of it, even circumstantial. What it does present is the author's nightmare theories. Those theories may or may not be true -- but he presents them as solid fact while giving absolutely nothing to support them with, absolutely nothing to believe he's any more reliable a source than the supermarket tabloids. (My edition of the book didn't even say what he was a doctor of -- if it was anything relevant, it's a pretty safe bet it would have been mentioned.) At least the tabloids are meant as harmless entertainment -- this book is trying to stir up panic, and because it's _packaged_ as a Reliable Source, it can do a very good job of terrorizing folks who don't know the difference between theory and fact, who don't think to ask for logical consistency and supportive evidence for a theory. And unfortunately, there are far too many of those folks out there. It's books like this that keep UFOlogy from being taken seriously.

Summary: Very Realistic
Review: This book takes you in the mind of people who claim to have been in contact with extraterrestrial beings. You get in the mind of these people with hypnotic regression performed on them. The stories they have to tell are very scary, if true.

Summary: Hybrids Gone Wild!
Review: This has got to be one of the most ominous UFO books I've read in a long time, maybe ever in fact. If it was written by anyone else (with the exclusion of Budd Hopkins), I would've shrugged my shoulders, said, "sure, right," and threw some text up on my alien webpage out of context to mock it. There is a decent amount of new material in it that I haven't seen in any other books on abduction, most notably something called "Independent Hybrid Activity" (IHA). Allegedly the "Nordics" in past accounts are really fourth or fifth generation hybrids who are now able to conduct abductions without assistance. The really interesting parts in the book were concerned with hybrid dysfunction and house the stories about women being violently and sexually assaulted by late-generation (newer) hybrids. How about forced oral sex and having unlit candles rammed into vaginas while being subjected to staging procedures and/or mindscan? Yup. Or how about gang rape in the presence of a "switched off" husband while the kids are watching helplessly? Sure thing. The sperm/egg extraction stories in other books pale in comparison to the lurid accounts of the abusive hybrids in "The Threat." Some parts seem like reading about what would happen if the vampire Lestat decided to go on a sexual rampage because he knows of his impunity: "You have no will. You're powerless. I can do whatever I want, can make you completely forget about it all, and do it all over again next time..." But that wasn't the most disturbing part of the book. The chapter "Accepting The Unacceptable" lists the author's conclusions which go *way* past the breeding program and really are on the order of him validating an impending (or imperceptibly ongoing) invasion/assimilation along the lines of what Mulder and Scully would poke around in on the X-Files. Jacobs doesn't even try to play Chicken Little. Instead, he concedes that it's probably too late to play messenger to the scientific community, so why even try. In order to keep from undermining his credibility, he wisely keeps his opinions confined to the very last chapter. To say that the author is a broken man is an understatement. As he says, "I desperately wish it not to be true." I find it very disheartening seeing a researcher despise his conclusions so much that he wishes that 30 years of work was nothing more than a grandiose trompe l'oeil, "See you in St. Louie, Screwy," as Bugs Bunny would say. A moving and powerful page turner about the alien apocalypse. So engrossing I read it in one sitting. Definitely not for the weak.

Summary: Great book, but not long enough.
Review: This is a great book. Any UFO buff that reads it will be impressed. Unfortuately, the book is extremely short. I was able to finish half of it in one sitting at a local bookstore. There needed to be more transcripts of interviews by Jacobs with abudctess. There needed to be more of everything! It's just plain ridiculous how short this book is.

Summary: Good reading.
Review: This is part two by Jacobs on alien abduction and gets to the heart of the alien agenda. Jacobs has all the credentials and intellectual honesty required by non-believers; it is time to believe. After reading the first part, I do believe he takes too many of these accounts at face value and jumps to conclusions that other scientists would not make. However he is a very intelligent man with an interesting viewpoint. The treat is that aliens want planet earth and know how to take it, by infiltrating humanity with their own hybrids. Some believe, as Jacobs appears too, that a Breading Program has been taking place for decades and the level of alien hybrids is now indistinguishable from your neighbor next door, except he has full allegiance to the alien agenda. Jacobs includes many abduction accounts with new insights about the threat that no one wants to take seriously. For textbooks, I read Unconvential Flying Objects by Dr. Paul Hill and Alien Agenda by Jim Marrs. For the best fiction which includes inside information on the cover-up, the black technology, and government dirty tricks, I highly recommend Brad Steiger's new book, Alien Rapture.

Summary: Jacobs gets to the heart of alien abductions with conviction
Review: This second book by Jacobs on alien abduction goes to the heart of the alien agenda. Jacobs has all the credentials and intellectual honesty required by non-believers; it is time to believe. The treat is that aliens want planet earth and know how to take it, by infiltrating humanity with their own hybrids. This Breading Program has been taking place for decades and the level of alien hybrids is now indistinguishable from your neighbor next door, except he has full allegiance to the alien agenda. Jacobs includes many abduction accounts with new insights about the threat that no one wants to take seriously. Given the worlds disbelief, only one more step is needed: surrender.

Summary: A Walk On The Darkside
Review: What disturbs me most about the Jacobs book is his single-minded pursuit of a single theory to explain all aspects of the alien abduction phenomenon. He glibly excludes the many reported descriptions of alien abductors collected worldwide which don't conform to his template model of what aliens are supposed to look like and act like. I kept hoping to read somewhere in this fear reactive tome about his own doubts concerning this thesis, as most balanced objective authors would include, but there was nothing like that, only his firm unshakeable faith in his own conclusions of gloom and doom.Try reading a book like COSMIC TEST TUBE, which traces the origins of all theories relating to alien visitation, and you will be able to view David Jacobs and his ideas in a historical context which makes his paranoia a logical outgrowth of 40 years worth of increasingly bizarre abduction reports.
