Fiction. Science Fiction. HTML:

We are not alone. Millions of people are confronting aliens that authorities say do not exist.
Meet the Three Thieves, a group of Grays assigned to duty in a small Kentucky town. They have been preparing a child for generations. Innocent Conner Callaghan 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. Colonel Michael Morax strives to keep the secret of the Grays from the public for reasons so sinister, yet believable, that they read like truth. And Lauren Glass, government "empath" to the last surviving captive Gray, known only as B for Bob, has a unique ability to communicate with this captive Gray. But when B for Bob suddenly escapes the highly secure underground Air Force facility that he's been captive in for years, a frantic race begins, as the government must outmaneuver the Grays to keep the secret of their presence intact.
The Grays is a mind-bending journey behind the curtain of secrecy that surrounds the subject of aliens, written by the field's great master, Whitley Strieber. If you'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.

The book was an OK read, but I was left wanting more. Hopefully 2012 will resolve things. ( )

This book took me forever to read because I expected it to suck. To my surprise it really didn't. I was under the impression that this book was written to "prove" that Grays are here -- that it was "nonfiction". It is anything but -- it's a great work of fiction and really enjoyable! Course, I have been really enjoying SciFi stories of late.

Well, what started out promising didn't really cash in. I have seriously mixed feelings about this review. On one hand, I feel like it was probably better than 2 stars, but it's simply too hokey to be a solid 3. We'll call it a 2.5.

The writing is good. I enjoy Strieber's style in this book enough that I'll probably try more of his work later. The reader is very good too, Stephen Lang. I've listened to him before and I've always been pleased with him.

As I said, Strieber does carry a story along pretty well. But despite that, some of his ideas are out there. I can deal with alien abduction theories, and I can even deal with the fact that the man believes that he's experienced it himself. Whatever. This is a story and I can suspend disbelief.

If the author does his job. Some of the crap was just too cheesy and unbelievable. Some of it straight out didn't make any sense. And it got to the point that I didn't care about most of the characters.

They started out interesting, but wore thin by the end. The main couple were very intriguing in the prologue but by the end of the book I wanted something to abduct them and never bring them back.

Like I said, the idea was interesting and I think Strieber has a talent for writing. This just fell short of what could have been. ( )

Fabulous storyline makes up for the bland-ish writing style. Characters a bit flat, too... but all in all a very entertaining and fascinating read. ( )

The content of this book was quite interesting, but the book still seemed to act like a double dose of Tylenol PM. I think this is largely due to the fact that this novel is very poorly written. The structure of the book is just awful. ( )

This book is dedicated to those millions of people around the world who, like me, have faced the enigma of the grays and are also left with the certain knowledge that they represent a genuine and spectacularly provocative unknown. It is my hope that this work of fiction will penetrate into that unknown and draw its secrets into discovering light.
Incipit

Because we know it is there, danger in an obvious place--on a battlefield, say--is often far less of a threat than it is on a quiet street in a small town.
