Redfern, You Rotten SOB!!! Update
Nick met my challenge---what more can I say?I read his book on the MIBs and chuckled. "Get off it, man!" said I to him said I. "Do you really think I'm gonna fall for this paranoid BS? You'll have to do better than THIS to scare me!"OK. I am officially scared to death.This book has totally freaked me out!I know about "melting men". I have seen X THE UNKNOWN] ]with Dean Jagger (forever beloved to MY generation as the school Principal on MR. NOVAK). I have watched [[ASIN:B00LTMHXNA The Blob and Caltiki, the Immortal Monster [Region 2 ] in action.I refuse to even DISCUSS the other chapters in the book.The fates of Uncle Morrie Jessup (a regular on Long John Nebel's show and the man who introduced us to that experiment in Philadelphia) or what the dangers of Bosco The Original Bosco Chocolate Syrup - 22 oz Squeeze Bottle all nature REALLY are.No...I won't talk about those things....I will say that we have known about Nina Kulagina's power to kill with psychic force since the 1960s anyway. This information formed the inspiration for the beloved film THE POWER The Power (Remaster) starring George Hamilton and Michael Rennie.Where you been, Nick?Nick, I am afraid to go to sleep thanks to you!(GREAT BOOK, Dude!)

Buy this book!
I REALLY enjoyed this book! Very well written and very easy to follow. I say that because I read another book recently that dealt with some of the cases Mr. Redfern covered and I just could not stay with the book. It was just a confusing jumble of information. But this book was clear and concise and laid out the details and facts in a way that kept me reading. I was already familiar with many of the cases covered, but learned new information and other theories. There were some typos which seems to be more and more common today but that didn't take away from what appears to be a well researched book.

Hazards of Research
This is another great book from author Nick Redfern. It was extensively researched and contained a number of issues that conspiracy theorists would love. Many little known facts are included. I read this book using immersion reading, while listening to the audiobook. Narrator Shaun Grindell handles the narration beautifully.

Nice read
My husband really enjoyed this book. The descriptions that we read led us to believe this was a source of scary UFO stories and that is certainly not the case. However, it was a nice collection that brought up some interesting questions.

Thanks for scaring me! (Kidding)
This book hit a little too close to home. I have read over 4000 UFO books so this book fascinated me. I am a ufo believer 100% and reading this, it appears they drop like flies. I love Nick Redfern's writing style. Those unfamiliar with ufo history will learn about all the weird goings on that happens to ufo researchers. If your a seasoned ufologist, stay in on June 24. This book is destined to be a classic that can be handed to anyone interested in studying ufology. Think twice! (Ps I bought all my ufo books using cash growing up) I knew my ufology history at a young age. (Jessup)

Good Ol' Redfern
It's a good ol' Nick Redfern book. Written in his usual style that you would come to expect. Lots of material in here that you may not have heard from anyone else. Add this to your library, it's a good one

Details About Well Known Incidents In The UFO Field That Involved Fatalities
Covers some well-known incidents that proved fatal on occasion. The author provides details I didn't know about. He sticks to the facts he can glean from newspaper accounts, government sources without conjecture about the source or sources of the phenomena. Its about time for speculation, isn't it? A good read, nevertheless, if you like the paranormal.

This book grabs you and holds you
I learned a lot that I had not heard before. The operative word or words are, "Not heard before". This does not mean that these things are true. For that matter doesn't mean they are not true. Some things sounded extraordinary where they are difficult to believe. I feel compelled to sight specific examples then explain my thoughts but I don't want to ruin the book for those who have not read it yet. Better for each person to draw there own conclusions. I will say the book keeps you and absorbed and is thought provoking. If the things written in the book are indeed true then it's a rather frightening book. One thing I will reveal is this. The author speaks of researchers and other authors as well as people in government or government contractors as being silenced by foul play. My question is, with all the revealing information in this book, has this author ever felt threatened ? Why have we not seen threats against well known people like Bob Lazar ? Overall the book will hold your interest and keep you coming back for more.

Getting the facts together
A collection of cases which have frequented UFO literature for decades. Anyone who has read extensively in this field will be aware of most cases. What Nick has done is collect them and put them under one cover. It is thought provoking to read just how many fatalities there are in people who 'got in the way' or caused ripples by wishing to expose materials relating to this mystery. It is apparent that there are many facts to be uncovered, but even US Presidents don't seem able to demand disclosure. Some speculation here as to whether JFK's death was because of his insistence on knowing too much and wanting to tell the people. Who knows? I don't think we will be able to sort this out in a hundred years. Makes an interesting read though.

UFO or Knowledge of can be fatal
I have read about most of the cases in this book,in other books etc. But Nick Redfern has done well to get them into one book. So if you are a hard core read of this type of book,it may not be for you. But I enjoyed reading it. Mr Redfern shows the conspiracies or supposed conspiracies behind some of the deaths in this book. When all the cases are put together in this book, It makes you realise how many deaths had occurred because of UFO'S, or being connect to the subject in some way. Also Mr Redfern has introduce me to another shadow organisation called Octopus. All in all a good read.

Sorry,but another of the boring books on the subject. Yet another TV 'personality' jumping on the bandwagon !
Personalities who appear on the TV regarding UFOs seem to feel that, like the rest,they have to write books which are just repeated examples of cases touched upon by so many others.This is just one more boring book. It adds nothing to the subject.
