UFO sightings and alleged abductions make headlines across the world and the likelihood of visitors from other galaxies has never been stronger. Erich von Daniken puts forward the controversial proposition that we have been subject to countless visits from beyond this planet for many years. The culmination of long-term research, his masterly book argues that we are very much in the minds and eyes of other cosmic life-forms and that, as a result, many of the dramatic events and remarkable teachings of religious texts should be re-interpreted - even the idea of Judgement Day itself. Profound and persuasively argued, this remarkable book is the result of the author's painstaking research to prove that mankind's isolation is over.
