About this ebook

What if there really are aliens and they do attack? Read what two scientists reveal in this "how-to" survival manual for the space age. Some events (such as a deliberate asteroid strike) produce such a massive setback to life, the Earth and humanity that we must understand and prepare for them, even if the chances are low that they'll come about. But where to begin? Drs. Travis S. Taylor and Bob Boan are experienced scientists, physicists with expertise in both defense and military signal intelligence and experience working with the Department of Defense and NASA.

These two intellectual heavyweights take us on an amazing journey through what we do¾and do not¾know about how to defend ourselves from space. Sure, that day may never come in our lifetimes¾but everyone should have a copy of this lying around just in case. . . .

A very good book, puts into perspective the possibility of an alien invasion, should be taken into account as any disaster and therefore generate preparation, besides as the book shows is not expensive and if enriching enough for humanity, the book is Excellent being punctual, concise and graphic in his ideas, highly recommended first to know about the true science about ET and second to make us realize in our responsibility to make humanity survive and thrive in the university. An excellent book!
