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 wise-cracking 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.

UFOs and alien abductions remain some of the most hotly debated and mysterious subjects of the 21st century. In the decades since 1960, with reports of strange encounters on the rise, 13 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.

As with Jeremy Robinson books the characters are extremely likeable and you buy into them from the start, couple this with Brays narration and you have perfection. The only reason it isn’t a 5 star rating is that I feel it could have been longer, but that’s only for selfish reasons. I would have like to have read more interaction with the characters, there are journeys that could have carried that out perfectly, but instead they get skipped. It’s not detrimental to the story though. A great listen and had me wanting more and adding more of Robinson’s books to my wish list.

Really good book. Told in the first person, which was a little off putting to start with. However it actually enhanced the story telling.

Outstanding!

An easy listen overall and enjoyable characters though some needed beefing up a bit. R C Bray does the business yet again with fantastic narration! Thoroughly enjoyed!

A nice twist on little grey men

A young girl goes missing: her mother, an illegal, appeals to Private Eye, Dan Delgardo, for help, not daring to call the police. And from the moment he and his elderly assisstant, Winnie, make their first call to the trailer which had been the girl's home, the investigating couple are plunged into the increasingly strange and dangerous unfolding world of space ships, little grey men, conspiracy theories and government collusion. But this is not just another alien invasion story, not an extra terrestrial abduction tale: it is far more intriguing.
Told in the first person from the perspective of Delgardo, the action is fast paced, the scenes visual in an Audible 'Technicolor' way which absorbs the reader into it's picture and propel him or her forward with enthousiasm. The characters, also, are clearly drawn but tend to become almost cartoons of real people as the book progresses, especially the faithful but obnoxious Winnie, the main comedy turn fhe story. A great pity as, for this reader, the final stages of the book were verging on the ridiculous which destroyed the potentially more terrifying concepts.

Narration is by R.C.Bray: his performance, as always, is excellent. Jeremy Robinson.is a fine wordsmith and with The Others, he delivers an enjoyable story. But whether this was supposed to be an alien abduction expose horror, or a comedy satire, I'm uncertain. Still definitely worth reading, however.

Lies serve a purpose - to hide the truth.
