Summary

Erich von Däniken claims to have never seen a UFO. But in the fall of 1987, on a desert ride, he experienced a close encounter of a very different kind. A being materialized before his eyes, and since the "thing" had no name, von Däniken called it "Tomy". This book is the story of Tomy. Some say that Tomy is a scientific impossibility.

Yet Tomy was there, science or not. After all, Tomy had for a few weeks lived among us, and that was enough for plenty of interpersonal relationships. God knows that von Däniken was not the only one who had known Tomy; others could see him, as well. Now, after 19 years of silence, Däniken has decided to make public the incredible story of Tomy.

Here, the best-selling author of Chariots of the Gods makes his foray into the world of fiction. Tomy and the Planet of Lies is a thrilling adventure novel that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats.

Yes

I found it interesting. I recommend people recognise how much information is parroted as though it’s a fact, when it’s isn’t. That people re-iterate another’s experience without knowing the true reason isn’t logical. That importance of belief in one’s self - not superficial statements from books or individuals has mislead many into misinterpreting and falsehoods purported or supposed. I know an empty mind is better than cults of language that close out people’s feelings and labels them as wrong for speaking up for themselves.

I really didn't like this book

Would you try another book written by Erich von Däniken or narrated by Arthur Morey?

I do enjoy Erich von Daniken's books and have listened to most of them. I liked Arthur Morey as narrator.

Has Tomy and the Planet of Lies put you off other books in this genre?

It has a little but as I've listened to so many of Erich's, I've just downloaded another one of his.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I found it very negative and Erich's writings came across as quite egotistical.
The first chapter made me want to stop listening to it all together but I persevered for another 4 chapters but couldn't finish it.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Frustration that I'd wasted money on it. Disappointment from Erich as I've really enjoyed his other books.
