Alien Rapture
The Chosen

Our Review |
Opinion of the webmaster, subject to debate |
It is hard to review a book that claims to be "faction" -- truth
veiled in fiction. The author, Edgar Fouche, is a former
defense specialist who says he has worked at Area 51. He
says that security
restrictions prevent him from telling us everything he knows, so he
must give us clues embedded in fiction. A similar effort was the
torpid 1996
novel The Catchers of Heaven
which was so vague and
rambling as to be meaningless. Alien Rapture is at least
specific, full of many references to organizations and places around
Area 51 and
the Nellis Air Force Range. Unfortunately, all this extra
detail doesn't really help, since fact can be replaced
by fiction at any time and we never know which is which.
The story is centered on Area 51, stronghold of the infamous MJ-12
committee. Of course, MJ-12 will do anything to keep the facility
secure and the alien presence under wraps -- including murder, torture
and the kind of gratuitous rough stuff that fictional
baddies are known for. As fiction,
we found the book moderately interesting, mainly
because of its local Nevada setting. (This reviewer was amused to see
himself portrayed as Area 51 researcher "Wayne Newsome," who helps the
protagonist break into Area 51.)
Since
we rarely review fiction and
haven't read any other techno-thrillers,
we can't rate this book as a novel; we can only try to evaluate the
factual content.
To evaluate "faction," we tried to read it as though it were non-fiction
and see if we learned anything new. If any part of this book truly came
from inside sources, we expected to encounter
not just technical details but
some
unexpected human insight that has not been described before.
If real humans are dealing with alien technology, they must have reactions;
they must have feelings; they must have peculiar human ways of
dealing with the knowledge they are exposed to.
Unfortunately, this book conveys nothing of the kind.
The novel is a
melodramatic interpretation of the MJ-12 claims, weaving Area 51,
alien implants and Sitchin's "12th Planet" theories into a
conventional fictional format.
Although we
have no doubt that the author has worked for secret government
projects, the book gives us little insight into the black world that
couldn't have been dreamed up by a Hollywood scriptwriter.
Some of the story may be true, but it doesn't "ring true"
any more than the later Schwartzenegger flick.
The book is more approachable if you first learn about it
through Fouche's radio interviews or his public presentation,
(See our Fouche Page for links.)
Fouche claims to have a number of military sources
who have given him UFO stories, but the bigger story he has weaved
them into seems purely speculative.
We found the interviews more interesting than
the book, because they are told as fact.
We wish that Fouche had cautiously expanded
on the separate factual accounts and resisted the temptation to
tie it together with speculation.

covert technology, clandestine documents protected at any cost --
