[Dan Zarfati · Rating 5 out of 5]

Magnificent book, well researched, well written, full of interesting information, and great understanding of the period, the author was there and took part in the whole situation. One can feel the man breathing while reading this magnificent book. Great understanding of the Condon Committee, blue book, and the whole UFO intrigue and also on the duplicity of Hynek's fake hero.

[Sharon Zink · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a biography of Dr. James McDonald, an American scientist who studied UFOs, among other things. It is a good biography, although I got tired of the author's use of the words always, never, only, ever, every; and her incessant use of exclamation marks showed her to be an amateur.
