         Comments on an UFO book
	 
	 Title       : The UFO Abductors
	 Author      : Brad Steiger
	 ISBN        : 0-425-11165-2
	 -------------------------------------------------------------
	 
	 While there are many UFO or similar type books on the subject, 
	 I found the book "The UFO Abductors", expanding on the recent
	 knowledge gained from abductees a real "humdinger".
	 
	 Let's clear the air and say that "I don't approve or
	 disapprove of the book's contents". However, I find it
	 grasping evidence with weak support or explanation(s). Even
	 though the book's subject lending itself to that type of
	 structure, since concrete evidence is hard to come-by. I find
	 the book interleaving the paranormal with extraterrestrial
	 visitations something hard to swallow. Also that Earth is the
	 stage for a future battle between good and evil or something 
	 along those lines where "MAN" is pitted against those that wish 
	 to do harm. There just seems to be a weak connection from the
	 subject of abduction to Armageddon. While the book makes for
	 impressive reading, it doesn't concentrate solely on its' 
	 subject matter. 
	 
	 There are loose connections, but important ones as Mr.
	 Steiger explains thoughout the book. The author also lends
	 his experience with extraterrestrial contact that there are 
	 such encounters(Chapter 7, pg.145). While the "startling proof"
	 I wanted to read about just doesn't seem to be there in an
	 impecable context. The book is good reading for an open mind,
	 but not for an inquistive one seeking answers. It would
	 appear that the author is capitializing on the recent
	 abduction knowledge that is the "HOT" thing to have written
	 about. While the whole topic of UFO's is debated, this book
	 doesn't weaken or lessen the evidence for UFO's, it just
	 doesn't add to it, which is the big disappointment.
