A serious, well-argued, and very disturbing book - Rated
Far from being a crank as you might expect, Dr David Jacobs is a history professor, and uses his sober academic skills, particularly at evaluating evidence, to examine seriously the superficially unbelievable possibility that a small but growing proportion of people are abducted by aliens.

His conclusion that this is probably happening is very carefully argued and evaluated and, though incredible, follows almost inescapably from the (circumstantial but compelling) evidence.

If this sounds all too weird, please read the book. I like to think I'm an intelligent reader (university educated and all that) and though initially sceptical I was convinced by his arguments. You may also like to read his previous book Secret Life, written when the possibility of alien abduction was only starting to be taken seriously.

By the way, The Threat pieces together something not apparent when the previous book was written, namely just why the aliens might be doing what they're apparently doing, and it makes very, very disturbing reading.

This is THE book to read - Rated
After my interest in the abduction phenomenon was sparked about six months ago, I have read many books on the subject, ranging from the present day situation to how extra terrestrials have appeared throughout history back to ancient times. I find each individual story fascinating, pouring over them in search of new information allowing more insight into the meaning of it all. Other authors should certainly be celebrated for the counseling and help they have provided for abductees at the possible expense of their reputation and careers and their courage for bringing the message to the public, but they tend to leave me with more questions than I started with. This was before I read The Threat by David Jacobs. David Jacobs is a true skeptic, as all serious researchers should be, and jumps to no conclusions until he is completely convinced of its authenticity. The conclusions he does reach though tell us in no uncertain terms what IS happening now and WILL happen in the future. He only leaves the question, when will it happen?. Read this book (and you most definitely should) and make your own mind up; there is no doubt in my mind that Jacobs has hit the nail on the head. The message is not a good one and I am sure many people will dismiss it out of hand as a result, but they do so at their peril. Accepting the truth of the ETs presence is one thing, being able to accept what they are doing is something quite different. You have been warned.

Science fiction masking as scientific research - Rated
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.

book not what it is cracked up to be - Rated
Book is poorly written and does not offer facts to back up any claims by the author.

AN EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE - Rated
THE BOOK WAS EXCELLENT. IT TELLS THE WORLD THAT ABDUCTIONS ARE REAL AND WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THEM. IT COVERS REAL LIFE EXSPERIENCES AND SHOWS THE OUTCOME OF BEING AN ABDUCTEE. THE BOOK NOT ONLY TELLS OF PAST EXSPERIENCES BUT ALSO GIVES US A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE.
