Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:We are not alone. Millions of people are confronting aliens that authorities say do not exist. Whitley Strieber — author of the legendary, #1 bestselling book Communion, which detailed his own close encounters — now returns to the riddle of aliens with The Grays. Drawing from a lifetime of research and his own experiences, Strieber offers up a fictional account of the conspiracy behind the alien presence on Earth while also giving us a startling look inside the alien mind that will astound, frighten, and enthrall readers.
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 breed to become, and what he must do to save humanity. Meet Colonel Michael Morax, who strives to keep the secret of the Grays from the public for reasons so sinister, yet believable, that they read like truth...and very well may be. And then there's Lauren Glass, government "empath" to the last surviving captive Gray, known only as B for Bob. Her unique talent to communicate with this captive Gray may be the only way humans can unravel their ultimate plan. But when B for Bob suddenly escapes the highly secure underground Air Force facility that he's been captive in for years, it triggers a mass undertaking in that small Kentucky town. A frantic race begins, as the government must outmaneuver the Grays to keep the secret of the 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. Review:"Fact into fiction? In bestseller Strieber's engrossing SF thriller, which draws heavily from Communion (1987), the author's controversial account of his personal contact with aliens, Danny and Katelyn Callaghan are a happily married couple oblivious that both took a saucer ride as kids — until a UFO sighting in their Indiana town awakens subliminal memories and excites their genius teenage son, Conner. Meanwhile, in a secret facility in Colorado, Air Force Lt. Lauren Glass learns that the Roswell incident really happened, and that for decades the surviving ETs have been sharing their advanced science with us. In exchange, these 'Grays' have sought to rejuvenate their dying species by genetically manipulating human receptacles for their DNA. But some military hard-liners see this as a betrayal of humanity, and they launch a manhunt that brings them to Indiana and the Callaghans' doorstep. Though Strieber's human characters are sometimes as stiff and unbelievable as his Grays, his depiction of black ops intrigue and military espionage is a first-rate exercise in literary paranoia. It goes without saying that his abduction scenarios have a disturbing authenticity that even skeptical readers will find provocative." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"The Grays will freeze your marrow. As with all of Whitley's books, you are in for the ride of your life." Douglas Preston, author of Tyrannosaur Canyon
Review:"It is suspense, intrigue and violence...that turn the pages in this book. The characters are secondary to the global-disaster-based plot that consumes them and their motivations." San Antonio Express-News
Review:""The Grays is a quantum leap back to [Strieber's] fictional form....It's a terrific read, already blocked out like a screenplay for the major movie now in the works..." Booklist
Review:"In The Grays, Whitley does for alien occupation what he and Art Bell did for global warming and planet-wide disaster in The Coming Global Superstorm....He has written the definitive alien occupation novel." William J. Birnes, co-author of The Day After Roswell
Review:"Strieber's aliens and their blood-curdling plot to commandeer our very souls come shockingly alive in this utterly unique thriller. Whitley Strieber crams more thrills and chills into a novel than any other writer I know." David Hagberg, author of Soldier of God
