Publisher's summary

A Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, John E. Mack, the author of A Prince of Our Disorder, presents accounts of alien abduction taken from the more than 60 cases he has investigated, and examines the implications for our identity as a species. Mack's Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens is a fascinating investigation of real-world alien encounters, and explores how extraterrestrial encounters affected the way people regarded the world—including heightening their sense of spirituality and their environmental concern.

John E. Mack was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and focused his career on the connections between different cultures and individuals. His book is masterfully narrated by Audible listener favorite, Brian Arens.

Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Gripping recounts of abduction experiences

Loved this book. The abduction experiences recounted are so interesting to listen to. I also appreciate the authors views and additional information of explanations of the events. Clearly something is happening that defies our usual explanations of reality

Fascinating book on the phenomenon.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in the abduction phenomenon. Regardless of your opinion on the "reality" of the experiences recounted in this book, the trauma of these people is very real. Abduction is an unsung classic of abduction literature and may very well be the definitive book on the subject. Brian Arens does a great job narrating. I found his voice comforting and sincere.

A challenging and fascinating read

Mack’s book is an exploration of the abduction phenomenon that will turn your world upside down, challenging the reality and consciousness we live in. Regardless of where you fall in accepting what’s presented, you will, in the least, be enthralled.

Enjoyable Read

This is one of those books I enjoyed having on in the evening before going to bed. The narrator was good and stories were interesting. Could have used about another hours worth.

Best ufo book ever

This books covers the often missing link in ufo literature, the relationship between ufo and human race. Even if you don’t believe in ufo it’s a great and scary read

The encounters make you believe

I have this memory I can’t quite get all the information I need to remember certain aspects are more certain then others and listening to this book and certain things that were said from the many person encounters makes me believe that it could be possible something happened to me when I was a child that the vivid memories of specific details that I can’t quite comprehend and put into words just maybe real. It makes you want to dive deeper into those deep rooted memories from long ago just like these people did. They’re brave and their stories are so interesting and yet scary because it’s not familiar it’s unknown. This is a good read and truly made me more open then ever that were are NOT alone.

Serious researches understand

Serious researchers understand this is far stranger than "men from Mars", or another star in a strict materialist sense. As an experiencer I have come to understand this is spiritual. I dont trust the researches who maintain this is some secret space invasion, it's much much stranger and closer to home than that! Life on Earth is much stranger than we've been told, and has a greater depth of experience than we can imagine!
Great book by Dr Mack.

This was a good book

I enjoyed listening to it, other than the pace at which the narrator reads at had to keep it at 1.2x the entire time.
