Description
This is the incredible groundbreaking story of a brilliant psychoanalyst's struggle to unravel the strange kidnapping of Jason and Robert Steiner - two brothers who were hypnotically controlled and made to forget even the smallest detail of what had happened to them aboard an alien spaceship.
This book, possibly the first to explore the idea of alien abduction, looks at the nature of the experiments performed upon the boys by unearthly creatures, such as a robot that resembled a young woman (even to the golden warmth of her flesh), and the use of drugs and hypnosis by the weird humanoids.
This book raised a storm of excitement all over America, by challenging modern science to admit the existence of flying saucers.
Rather than deal with the facts of the case, however, the ufological mainstream tried to brand the book as "fiction," simply because they couldn't figure out who the author really was (Malcom Kent is a pseudonym).
They failed to see the obvious. Because alien abduction was a completely new idea in 1967, no publishers would publish it as nonfiction! And to write about such a thing then would have been career suicide for any writer, of any stripe.
Hence, this book was not pseudonymously written because it is fiction, but because no author in their right mind would want to be subjected to the harassment of the MIB, the media, the national security state, and the pro-ET ufological establishment.
While most of those "in the know" claim the book was written by a "George Houk," it turns out that Houk is a pseudonym, too!
Recent inquiry has brought to light that both "Malcom Kent" and "George Houk" may have both been used by John A. Keel, the most widely known ufologist of the time. All three of them roll off the tongue in the same way, and the location (in upstate NY, where Keel grew up) and details (a "freelance writer for 10 years") seem to match with Keel, along with the writing style.
Since Keel spoke of having helped "several of his friends" write such pseudonymous UFO books, we might also consider the possibility that Keel was helped on this book by his good friend, psychiatrist Berthold Eric Schwarz, and by Gray Barker, who is described in the book as "Lex" Barker.
While the names may have been changed, this book still remains gripping fact, and remains arguably the first book to explicitly deal with the abduction phenomenon. A must-have for the serious paranormal researcher.
