About the author
Charles James Hall
11 books39 followersCharles James Hall was born and raised in rural Wisconsin, USA, near Madison. He enlisted in the United States Air Force on July 20, 1964. He was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base outside Las Vegas, Nevada, for over two years. While there, he served for extensive periods of time as a weather observer in the desert on the Gunnery ranges at Indian Springs, Nevada. Following this, he served a year in Vietnam in the Mekong Delta. Charles received an award for surviving more than 35 communist attacks. A year after receiving an honorable discharge in May 1968, Charles married Marie, on the condition that he would go to college. In record time, he earned both a Bachelor's Degree in Thermal Physics and a Masters degree in Applied Nuclear Physics at San Diego State University in San Diego California. Charles did Ph.D. level post graduate work at the University of Maine at Bangor. Later, he earned a Masters in Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University at Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
When Charles and Marie had been married about three months, Charles decided to risk telling her about the extraterrestrials he had encountered at Indian Springs. Marie wasn't terribly interested in whether or not ETs existed. She only said that if she met one, she hoped she would behave properly. That might just be another way to describe the current buzzword, 'Exopolitics'.
Raising a family pushed memories of the terror and unprecedented experiences on the Indian Springs gunnery ranges into the background, but they couldn't be forgotten. In his spare time, Charles began writing his memoirs for his children and grandchildren. Eighteen years later, when Marie discovered what he had been doing, she convinced him to publish them. She found it easy to come up with a title, cover design and helped edit what eventually became the Millennial Hospitality series, which is now four books. Marie particularly liked Charles' memoirs because they did not attempt to prove the existence of extraterrestrials, but rather, could be read and enjoyed by anyone. They read like a novel and the reader can learn about how to be a better human being. Because of the nature of the material, and to protect the innocent, it seemed prudent to change the names of friends, places, a few distances and directions. The Millennial Hospitality series is without precedent, a truly groundbreaking account of one man's actual experiences with extraterrestrials in the Nevada desert. It is already being hailed as a classic.

The most frustrating book I've ever read. The relentless repetition of self character appraisal combined with mind-numbing repeats of apparent first experience encounters was completely unnecessary, honestly this story would have served much better in a short story format.

I Love Charles' books. I have read three of the five so far.

I read this book, second part of a series, to get more information that wasn't provided in his many interviews. Charles Hall is a friendly gentleman and what he says about the Tall Whites seems honest enough. Fact or fiction, I believe every word he said!
The second part of book two was better in the last half of the book. Charles' story was finally adding some "meat" to it.
The editing was a "little" better, but not by much. The continuous use of the same adverbs over and over. For example, "I cautiously walked," "I quietly walked," and the word "very". Sometimes they were used in two sentences in a row. It drove me a little crazy, but if you can get past the lack-of editing (I'm no editor, just a reader), then you'll be pulled into Charles' story. About half of the book could've been edited out, in my opinion. Also, the audio part that includes the reading of the chapters, the ISBN, the copyright, all those non-chapters are not supposed to be read.
In the end, I enjoyed this book, but it could've used a professional editor.

I read the first book and this was similar but with different story events that occurred. Very interesting. If you are into UFOs and aliens, I would recommend this book.

A great sequel to a book series that captivates me
This sequel is a great edition to the first book, if the story isn't true then its still a great tale.

A great book for all UFO and alien enthusiasts! Completely realistic and told in a very open and honest manner.

mediocre plot Bad editing
The number of misspellings and missing words was disconcerting. Thin plot line with Lots of repetition. Made myself finish it and never saw improvement

First book I ever quit.
Too much redundancy and long unnecessary description.

Second in a series
I am stuck between believing the to be a true story or one of complete hogwash. It is written in a rambling manner, much like the random episodes put pen as if remembering them and then jotting them down and moving on to the next anecdote. Yeah, I will read the next one too. They may not be real... but they are very entertaining.

What I liked in this book was the taking of the protagonist of the first book, who (as an
intellectual McGoo-like character) was shackled by his belief systems, and escorted him through a paradigm shift into a new world. In the process, he seemed to get along just fine with the
EBEs that zipped around his weather shack and the other sectors of the Nellis Range. I thought that his partial descriptions of the things that his newfound friends could do fascinating and was only disappointed that he was not a curious as some of their children. Were I there, I would have had
his friends help me make a florescent suit for myself along with a personal scout transport in return for some assistance with extra shopping trips for the women. Although I disagree with his interpretation of the Project Mogul explaining the Roswell Crashes, I enjoy Hall's presentations and find them clearly educational. A more detailed explanation of the new physics would have been good for the more technically inclined, if only in an appendix. Nonetheless, it was a goodnatured and enjoyable read.

It is repetitive and is largely the same as the first book until you get to about 80% through, then it gets really interesting as he starts to actually interact with the aliens and believe his eyes and speak with them. It would have been better if this was just tacked onto the end of the first book though with that 80% removed.
Still a fascinating read all the same.

I’ve read all four books 📚 and believe me when I tell you they were hard to put down...there is so much my eyes could take...but I finished them, and they were all outstanding...what a writer...never a dull moment...but I felt for him, I would have never made it...brave or crazy, I really don’t know what to think👽maybe he’s an alien himself😉

I thought the book was better than the first book, less grammatical errors. It pinpointed the isolationism of Charles Hall to handle the Tall White Aliens and how the other soldiers were not able to deal with them. More informative than the first too. Looking for the third one to read.

Very believable but I am also hearing that people are paid by the govt to confuse the public. I am interested in Charlie's challenges....and I believe there were aliens at Area 51 and thereabouts. However, I am not sure if the Tall Whites took road trips to Vegas.

Charles Hall might now be a physicist, but as an author, not so much!

More stories from Dreamland. These books are short, so I was naturally hungry for more stories after finishing the first book.

Wow. Really good. So crazy that all of it might really be true.

I don't always read stories, but when I do, they are about aliens :D

Wish it was true
I think this story is probably true. At least for the most part. I like how candid and naive Charlie is.
