Majestic [Strieber, Whitley] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Majestic Review: A really great read - Wow! I just finished this book. What a great read, it was terrifying and beautiful all at once. Space craft, mind control, are these beings here to help or hurt? Should we be terrified or grateful? Is it all in our imagination or are we only now beginning to see reality? I've never read anything like this before but I think that this is only the beginning of some great reading experiences for me. We are all wondering what strange things are going on in our world. I think that Whitley is on track here about what is actually going on. Review: Worthy Read Parts 1 - 3 - I've read most of Strieber's non-fiction and find it frustrating that the author persistently relies on emotion as a gauge for truth; if it feels good, it must BE good. Decided to give this "fictional" work of Strieber a try because Bill Cooper mentions it in his book, Behold a Pale Horse, where Cooper calls out Strieber as a paid purveyor of false-narrative, with this book being a psyop piece. Majestic does not disappoint! Having just finished all of Majestic, I wish I'd skipped Part 4. Parts 1 - 3 of Majestic are narritive and grounded in "reality". There are some astonishing, not pleasant, ideas / hypotheses introduced here that have stayed with me. Strieber demonstrates his incredible gift as an author in these first three parts of Majestic. But Part 4. Oh, my. Part 4 is an all-too-familiar repeat of Strieber's "raise your frequency" message. Part 4 almost completely ruined the book for me. What is telling, however, is the stark contrast between Parts 1-3 (intelligent discussion of novel ideas) and Part 4 (detailed description of a bad acid trip). Perhaps Strieber gave us Part 4 as a clue and a warning to ignore new age B.S. and pay attention to the ideas layed out in Parts 1-3. This book is definitely a worthy read. Parts 1 - 3 really scared me and I can't shake it.

Worthy Read Parts 1 - 3

This is probably my favorite piece of writing ever
This is probably my favorite piece of writing ever. It is an incredibly exciting and brilliantly written hyper-suspenseful novelization of the best research available to explain the Roswell New Mexico UFO incident in 1947. You don't have to believe one tiny bit in the UFO phenomena to be thrilled and stunned by the story and quality of writing. I find the creative power of the writing to be just amazing and I keep a copy of this book for that reason. I tend to give copies away so this is my latest restock. Read the Introduction and you will be hooked and on your way to the most intense and unpredictable thrill ride of your life. It is also an incredibly detailed period-piece that takes you deep inside the mind and heart of the darkest parts of the US spy and espionage program that helped the Allies win WWII, including the style and attitudes by which Truman, Eisenhower, top military brass, and others managed the secrets of the US.

Essential Roswell reading
With vast witness testimony many people believe that something extraordinary crashed in Roswell NM, but the picture is far from complete. This book is fiction, but whatever you believe, this is an amazing literary work. It presents some of the most important elements to understanding what would have led to the formation of MJ-12, Majestic It is hard for most people to understand the terror of the torturous Gestapo and the cost of freedom which America paid during WW2. There was a dark side to the happenings and those in power, in whose hands the protection of the common people lay, were strained to their wits end in dealing with these events around the most secure site in the world, the only air base with nuclear bombing capability. Deeper questions are dealt with. Was the crash intentional and did they thus trick our government into instituting policies which have enforced secrecy and excluded mainstream intellectual and scientific wisdom from coming to bear on the issues? Has the official denial and ridicule policies allowed the others to operate in secrecy without any significant public awareness to thwart their activities? Regardless if you believe in the Roswell crash of not, this novel is a page turner with insightful thinking. It makes it clear that in the case of contact, then or in the future, the ethical nature of our conduct is essential. The ability for humans to underestimate the level of advancement of the others in a contact situation, coupled with an attitude that one knows the truth, is a guaranteed formula for disaster. A book which is worth re-reading.

Ein Roman darüber, wie es tatsächlich sein könnte. Sehr spannend, sehr informativ. Man muß es nicht glauben, es ist ja nur ein Roman, und einiges dürfte sich der Autor zurechtgedacht haben, wie er sich so etwas vorstellt. Aber etliches findet man beim Studieren ernsthafter UFO-Literatur wieder. Unbedingt zu empfehlen! Ein wunderbarer Einstieg in die Thematik und eine wunderbare Basis für ein Gespräch mit Skeptikern!
