Fastwalker

Rating:
Summary: Interesting
Review: Basically, Vallee takes his own theories on what UFOs are all about and slots them into a "fictional" account. (Like that other "fiction" book ALIEN RAPTURE). Vallee is big on deception, the idea that aliens aren't really alien at all but something else and are tricking us into thinking so.

The ideas are interesting, but as a story, the book is kind of lame.

Summary: Fast Walker
Review: The fact that Vallee decided to write (cooperate) on a 'fiction novel' (not seen from Vallee since his youth) is a curious note in and of itself. Fast Walker is a somewhat focused story while thinly woven around a 'balanced' set of characters, representing the UFO genre, more prevalent in the Eighties. The lives of an abductee; a UFO writer/researcher; a military 'working group' and a fanatical UFO cult leader all converge toward a climax as the plot thickens. The book is quite useful for contrasting various elements of the UFO scene while creating a sense of 'being there.' The outlook portrayed in the end raises a battery of questions and an alternate theory for the UFO question when compared to recent, mainstream thought. Entertaining.
