Books: Looking For Orthon
The following is a book I've read and reviewed. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not selling books. Knowing four languages, I have access to quite a large amount of books that have never been translated in English, which is the strong point of this list: to give a broader look to what's published.

Description: Bennett merges into the epic tale of George Adamski, the first modern man to claim continuing contact with aliens. Despite the popular belief that people of the 1950s had closed minds, they at least were willing to pay to hear Adamski speak about his contact with Venusians. Although many readers are too young to have attended Adamski's lectures, readers will be amazed at the large audiences he attracted.
Thr most compelling treatments of the George Adamski case, readers will appreciate the know-how contained in this book as well as the number of references to known and unknown people. Bennett probes the innards of 20th century society with an intellectual and literary dexterity seldom encountered in popular works on UFOs. Bennett treats Adamski's bizarre story as the multilayered mythological enigma that it is, recreating the circumstances in which Adamski, good-natured opportunist and hobbyist astronomer, supposedly met a man from Venus.He writes how Adamdki's claimed contact rattled Western society's ontological bedrock, regardless if it actually happened.
Bennet, honestly, is the most innovative UFO researcher I've ever seen. A brilliant book. Pity the front cover design isn't as good.
