UFOs and alien abductions remain one of the most hotly debated and mysterious subjects of the twenty-first century. In the decades since 1960, with reports of strange encounters on the rise, thirteen million people have gone missing worldwide and never been found. The Others takes a fast-paced, unique, and moving look at the phenomenon that has fueled Jeremy Robinson's imagination since several sightings, strange happenings, and visits with renowned UFO investigator, and family friend, Raymond Fowler. TO SAVE A MISSING GIRL... Dan Delgado is a private investigator. When it comes to finding cheating spouses, corporate thieves, or runaway teenagers, he's unenthusiastic, and unmatched. As a former San Francisco detective, he misses more meaningful work, but he hasn't had the heart for it since his wife's death five years prior. That is, until a phone call from a distraught mother. An illegal immigrant who can't go to the police puts him on the hunt for a missing little girl. By the time he reaches the mother's small home, she's missing, too. The circumstances are strange, but when a team of heavily armed mercenaries arrive, Delgado is convinced there is more going on than a simple kidnapping. Joined by his elderly assistant, a gun-toting pastor, and a UFO enthusiast Uber driver, Delgado follows the clues west, to Colorado City, a town cleaved in two by the 37th parallel, also known as the UFO Highway. In a town infamous for fundamentalist Mormon cult activity, they uncover evidence of a massive child-trafficking ring, whose ringleaders might not be human. Delgado and crew are plunged into a dangerous world of corporate competition, UFO lore, and government cover-ups. While they hunt for answers, they're pursued across the Southwest by high-tech mercs, brainwashed cults, and beings whose true identity has been concealed since 1947. ...HE MUST RISK THE WORLD
Well, not my typical genre, but I was in the mood for something different. An audible original. A Private Investigator is hired to find a missing child, her mother an illegal immigrant also disappears - in the search for finding Isabelle - the unlikely team encounter "the others" - not aliens, not human -the topic is not my usual pick to read but this was interesting so much that it makes you wonder.......

The Others by Jeremy Robinson and narrated by R.C.Bray is going on my favorite list! This had me hooked immediately! I had to listen to it non-stop! The suspense, the thrills, the mysteries, the humor, wonderful characters, twist and turns, the sci-fi, the fantasy, the total awesomeness was overwhelming!!! I laughed, cringed, and even cried at the end! What a wonderful story! With R.C. Bray you know the narration was terrific! He enhances all books he narrates! Definitely a book to get! ( )
The good: the author took the well-worn meme of space alien "grays" and turned it on its head (literally), providing a plot with an unexpected explanation for UFOs. The bad: the author leaned on a tired explanation for the main character's motivations. It was so heavy-handed, in fact, that if felt thrown in just to attract the female audience. The odd: after assembling a set of improbable but oddly appealing characters at the beginning of the book, the author takes some of them in completely unexpected directions, and shuttles others off, stage left, for a significant amount time. It felt like he just couldn't figure out how to work them into the plot.
The fast pace and interesting premise of this book make it a worthwhile read, even if it feels like a little more work could have taken this book from good to great. ( )
