Summary

Communion is the iconic classic in which Whitley Strieber describes his 1985 close encounter experiences. This book, which fundamentally changed the way we understand close encounters and alien abductions, is presented here with a new introduction by the author.

The message of Communion, that something unknown is really happening to people but that we have not studied it enough to understand it, remains as timely now as it was in 1987 when the book was first published. And Whitley Strieber's riveting account of what he experienced, along with his relentless and expert pursuit of the reality behind the experience, is to this day the greatest such account ever published. 

Do not miss this great classic and the powerful introduction that explores the situation as it stands today—even more provocative and important now, as official sources are admitting that UFOs are real unknowns and that they seem to have something to do with close encounters.

Utter Nonsense

I bought this book with the intention of seeing if I could work out whether the author was actively lying or simply delusional.
For the first half of the book, I was undecided. For most of the second half, I was leaning towards delusional. But then the last part degenerates into a word salad of new age mystical woo, taking in the “ancient wisdom” of the Aztecs, the ancient Egyptians with the pyramids and Sphinx, tarot cards, and inevitably the deployment of the word quantum.
Much of the author’s argument is structured like the pitch of a skilled conman, but it all leads to an agenda of the most ridiculous mystical nonsense it has ever been my misfortune to encounter.
It’s been entertaining, but sadly for all the wrong reasons, hence the low rating.

A Ufology Classic

This is a must for every ufologist, and everyone interested in the subject of alien abductions.

However, there is a buzzing noise in the background of this production which makes it very hard to listen to through headphones, or at any great volume. It sounds like it was recorded on a microphone which wasn't grounded properly. I tried on two separate devices and got the same noise.

Deeply fascinating

Fascinating account of what must have been a strange and continuing set of circumstances. My gratitude to the man.

The theme and way it is written.

Excellent audiobook by Whitley. Gripping from start to finish. A must read for anybody that is interested in the UFO phenomenon and ufology in general.

strange story

I am a firm believer in Alien abductions but i think Whitley may genuinely be suffering from mental health issues. i dont think he is intentionally lying. it gets really weird toward the end of the book.

Something to listen to while working

Read this years ago but thought I would revisit as I always have to listen to something that is not too distracting while I am working. The one piece of advice I would give is to listen to this at 1.2 x speed.
