Synopsis

We are not alone. Millions of people are confronting aliens that authorities say do not exist.

Meet the Three Thieves, a group of Grays assigned to duty in a small Kentucky town. They have been preparing a child for generations. Innocent Conner Callaghan will face the ultimate terror as he struggles to understand who he has been bred to be, and what he must do to save humanity. Colonel Michael Morax strives to keep the secret of the Grays from the public for reasons so sinister, yet believable, that they read like truth. And Lauren Glass, government "empath" to the last surviving captive Gray, known only as B for Bob, has a unique ability to communicate with this captive Gray. But when B for Bob suddenly escapes the highly secure underground Air Force facility that he's been captive in for years, a frantic race begins, as the government must outmaneuver the Grays to keep the secret of their presence intact.

The Grays is a mind-bending journey behind the curtain of secrecy that surrounds the subject of aliens, written by the field's great master, Whitley Strieber. If you've never so much as thought about the subject before, this book will make you think deeply, not only about the mystery of who the Grays are, but who exactly we are.

The bad guys are Very, Very bad, The 11 year old genius and his family are Very, Very good. In some repects, the aliens are the most nuanced characters in the story. The plot gets unnecessarily complicated. But despite all that, its a fun story that will keep your attention all the way through. Stephen Lang reads well although all the milary males sounded the same to me. On long drive these disks will make the miles fly by.

Goodreads review by Erik on June 10, 2013

If I were to rate books solely on the basis of enjoyment, The Grays would get four stars. Personally, I found it a page-turner, finishing the thing in two nights as a bedtime book. But then I've reading UFO material since elementary school and so could recognize and appreciate the themes Strieber st......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on February 07, 2018

By the end of this one I was completely disinterested. It's perfectly possible that I missed some hidden message or "bigger" point to the story, but it was a little too "Ancient Aliens" fan-fiction for my liking. There were "twists" that did not seem to actually impact the story. The biggest example......more
