The Grays

De: Whitley Strieber

Narrado por: Stephen Lang

Millions of people are confronting aliens that authorities say do not exist. Now Whitley Strieber, author of the #1 best seller Communion, which detailed his own close encounters, returns with The Grays, a mind-bending journey behind the curtain of secrecy that surrounds the subject of aliens. This audiobook will make you think deeply, not only about the mystery of who the Grays are, but who exactly we are.

Meet the Three Thieves: a group of Grays assigned to duty in a small Kentucky town. They've been occupying this town for decades, abducting its residents and manipulating bloodlines in an attempt to create an ultra-intelligent human being. Nine-year-old Conner Callahan 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.

Meet Colonel Michael Wilkes, a government official who has monitored the Grays' presence for years. He's done everything in his power to keep the secret of the Grays from reaching the public, but when the Grays begin to reveal themselves, Wilkes' fear of ultimate occupation forces him to set in motion a sinister plan to ensure the survival of humanity. But at what cost?

The fate of the human race lies in one woman, Lauren Glass. Her father was the only man to communicate with the Grays. His untimely death leaves Lauren the unique ability to communicate with the last remaining captive Gray, known as A for Adam, and she may be the only one to truly unravel the Grays' ultimate plan.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A terrific read." (Booklist)
"It goes without saying that [Strieber's] abduction scenarios have a disturbing authenticity that even skeptical readers will find provocative." (Publishers Weekly)

I have read quite a few science fiction books....

I have read quite a few science fiction books lately and so I was hoping this one would be a bit different from the others and that I would feel okay about the ending and book in general.

Well....this book didn't let me down.

I enjoyed The Grays because it had a very human side to it and you felt for the characters both alien and human....there were times when I was actually a bit afraid to go on...not wanting to know what would happen next but not being able to stop listening. There were a couple of slow parts which I just daydreamed through but overall I was particularly enthralled with this book and the idea of the human race being saved by a little boy. I couldn't help but wonder what would it be like to be his mother and how would I react to all the craziness that came my way. I was particularly happy with the ending for most of the science fiction books I have read lately have been such a downer.....but this book gave me hope and was filled with hope in the midst of danger....and I felt relief in finding a book that would end on a high note.

Thanks to this little novel my hope in science fiction reads has been restored again.

Amazing

Simply amazing and captures the essence of what holds true in the hidden world of the Grays.

The Grays , felt more real than fake. I recommend

A wonderful book,a must read through to the end. So much action packed moments as well.

great book

very good book especially if you are interested in extraterrestrials. I really enjoyed it and it kept my attention

Most of it was a stretch

I felt like he was stretching the truth in many cases in order to sell the book. A lot of it was interesting, though.

Captivating story

Narrated beautifully. Takes you out of your life and into their world. Just a wonderful book

Riveting Storytelling

Loved everything about this book! The characters are believable, the story line, narrative and narration, are excellent. This is my second Whitley Strieber book and it just makes me want to read everything he’s written.

Extraordinary read/listen...

This is my first book by Strieber, I’ve sort of shied away from him because I really don’t know what to make of him personally. Something about a fiction writer making extraordinary claims that turns me off.

Taking this book as a work of fiction, it is absolutely excellent. In fact, so much of it touches on what many people commonly believe to be true aspects of modern day abduction, as well as the Gray “agenda” that you almost want to believe that Strieber has the total inside scoop and that this story is what is happening.

At the end of the day I believe this to be just a story, who knows how close to the truth it might be? We may never know, though I believe there are those out there who do. At least I hope there’s someone out there with the full picture.

Anyway give this a listen/read. It’s great if you like this subject. Very compelling and immersive. Didn’t want to put it down.

Fast-Paced and Enjoyable

Truthfully, I didn't believe I would enjoy this book. I am not a big fan of Sci-fi, but since this book made it The Best of Audible list, I decided to give it a try. Am I ever glad I did. I finished the book in one weekend! I didn't want to stop listening...the story was fast-paced. It kept me guessing all the way to the end. Try this book. You won't be disappointed.

A bit formulaic

But quite well written. If you like Ufo lore you'll like this book too! Buy it.
