-
- It's late in the evening when a sudden and bizarre compulsion comes over
- you to get some junk food at the local fast service establishment. Donning
- attire sufficient to make you presentable at the local Seven-Eleven you
- slip into your auto and begin your trek to satiate your hunger. And trek
- it becomes! Not two miles from you home, along a dark segment of the
- roadway you spot strange lights in the sky - headed on a direct intercept
- path with your car. Your engine dies and the car glides to a halt. Mist
- surrounds the car but you can dimly see some movement as a short form
- approaches. Then you see it. A non-human creature with large "compelling"
- eyes, huge head and little or no mouth gestures in your direction. You
- attempt to scream but try as you might you cannot summon any movement from
- your own body. You are somehow extracted from the car and teleported into
- the hovering craft....
-
- And so begins a typical scenario reported in the best-selling book by
- author/artist Budd Hopkins. If you are into fantasy and science fiction
- then this book is NOT for you. Yes, I said NOT as Budd Hopkins is relating
- an account of a life experience. An experience very real to Kathy Davis,
- the subject of his work "Intruders."
-
- "Intruders" reports one bizarre account after another of the intrusion of
- intelligent alien beings into the life of Kathy Davis. Her case began in
- early childhood and continues into the future of herself and her children.
- Even, it seems, to a child which is a hybrid between herself and the
- alien beings. Only recently made aware of the experiences through the aid
- of hypnotic regression, Kathy's story is perhaps one of the best documented
- case events of this type. These happenings were first seriously reported
- in the mid/late sixties by John G. Fuller in "The Interrupted Journey" and
- most recently by Whitley Strieber in "Communion." Hopkins' new work
- contributes much to the investigative reputation of the whole Abduction
- Phenomenon. While Mr. Hopkin's literary style is not as polished and
- refined as that of Whitley Strieber, this work is the first of its kind to
- couple good investigative reporting technique with a sense of drama
- that keeps the book in your hands and your eyes on its pages until it is
- consumed. "Intruders" will intrude on your imagination and have you
- looking over your shoulder any time you find yourself alone ... and in the
- dark. "Intruders" will both scare you and infuriate you as you consider
- the possibilities of a race of creatures taking liberties with humans not
- seen since the days of Hitler.
-
- Intruders. Get it. Read it. But be don't be surprised if you find that
- this book conjures up strange and elusive memories. You wouldn't be the
- first to have this book awaken memories, here-to-fore hidden from your
- conscious mind, of a night of terror.
