"John Mack explores evidence of nonhuman intelligence like an attorney preparing for the 'trial of the century'--interviewing witnesses, examining physical evidence, consulting with experts in related fields, constantly questioning his own assumptions...As a story of one man's determination to bear witness to cosmic mysteries with extraordinary implications for the human future, Abduction is bound to become a modern classic" (Keith Thompson, author of Angels and Aliens)
