BOOK REVIEW

UFONET I
MAJESTIC

Don't expect to read a continuation of the Communion or
Transformation books because "Majestic" is not that. What Whitley
does is take the material of the Roswell Incident and the material
on MJ-12 and spins it into a worthwhile novel. The book starts out
strong but has a weak finish. In fact little is resolved in the
end. However the first 1/2 of the book is worth the price of
admission as they say.
The book is the story of a reporter who tells the story of
Wilfred Stone (aka Walker) the head of the Majestic group that
was charged with the EBE coverup. Wilfred is now dying and wants
to clear his conscience of the greatest mistake in the history
of mankind, the EBE coverup. The first half of the book sticks
closely to the material in "THE ROSWELL INCIDENT" by Moore. It
does a good job filling in the gaps and relating the feelings
of the participants. The book is not as advertised on the dust
jacket a gripping thriller. It is predicatable almost to a fault
to anyone familiar with the material by Lear, Cooper or Moore.
I must say that I enjoyed it better than Communion or Transformation
but less than WarDay. I would give it a 6.5 on a scale of 1 to 10.
