Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Vocally, Lang and Vincent Price have a lot in common. While Price reveled in the spooky and sinister, Lang, though he packs a similar, possibly more extensive arsenal, does not hyperbolize, instead using his creep factor to corral the listener into the den of the writer and lets Strieber do the scaring. Strieber, who claimed in 1987's Communion to have been abducted by aliens (or "Grays"), parlays that experience into a yarn about the Grays' ultimate plan, to save themselves and mankind by breeding a human savior: nine-year-old Connor Callahan. The small hitch is that all humans, like Callahan, will be the subject of genetic manipulation. Enter Col. Michael Wilkes, steely government spook willing to kill most of mankind in order to eliminate the Grays. Lang shows great range, conveying each character's anxieties and emotion with élan. Even as the action and horror intensify, and the characters fight for the survival of mankind, Lang is cool as a cucumber-and that makes it all the scarier.

From AudioFile
The author of this novel claims to have been abducted by aliens (the grays) in 1985. Journeying from afar in the universe, the grays are about to descend on Earth again for the purpose of saving us from ourselves. The focus of their plan is 9-year-old Conner, whom they view as a potential savior. Their plan also involves genetically manipulating all of humankind. Stephen Langs narration is intense, and the suspense is unrelenting. Lang captures the essence of the precocious Conner, the kids who torment him, and the father who is intimidated by him. No story of an encounter with aliens is complete without a government conspiracy, and Lang makes the conspiracy in this book believable beyond a doubt.
