“The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets” Gen. Douglas MacArthur,1955

This Alien Invasion Survival Handbook was written to prepare you for the battle of your life. A battle with an adversary so ruthlessly cunning that he largely stays off the front pages of your newspapers and media broadcasts. Despite wreaking havoc in the lives of countless people around the globe, his name is not on the lips of those you pass in the street. His insidious work goes on night after night, plucking hapless sleepers from their beds and whisking unwary travellers into the night sky.

Forever vigilant, always elusive.

We speak, of course, of aliens, the extraterrestrial scourge that has mercilessly tormented humanity for generations.

Whether you have yet to have an alien encounter or have been the victim of repeated abductions, the book promises to provide you with practical, hands-on solutions to the ever-present alien threat.

Don't wait until you feel their gangly fingers round your throat. You owe it to yourself, your family and humanity to prepare for the inevitable intergalactic showdown.

The Alien Invasion Survival Handbook: A Defense Manual for the Coming Extraterrestrial Apocalypse is presented as a highly illustrated government manual from the 1950’s or 60's. At times it feels like you are reading one of those strange government “How to survive a nuclear attack” booklets but this one focuses on the very present menace of alien abduction.

The book itself is divided into Know Your Enemy, Defense, Escape, Attack and Invasion with appendices on the History of the Resistance, References and Resources and an Alien Encounter Log Book – very practical stuff.

There are also rip roaring funny sub- chapter headings such as “Protection from Alien Paralysis", "Commandeering and Piloting an Alien Spacecraft", "Locating and Removing Alien Implants” and very practical advice on dealing with an alien attack. We also learn everything about aliens from their various organs and physical abilities to their sexual habits.

It is illustrated with some of the funniest UFO cartoons I have seen in a long time as well as photos, excerpts from “UFO manuals” and more.

It examines why the aliens would come here in the first place (Resources, Resettlement or looking for a Food Source) and how to detect an alien intrusion from the weeks leading up to attack right until the last 5 minutes.

It explains in graphic detail what you can do to protect yourself from hand to hand combat to alien traps, it even includes music to block alien mind control - Jimi Hendrix and AC/DC are high on the list !

Ever wonder where you can hit an alien to achieve maximum damage ? Practicing on an eggplant will give you the right feel if you need to squeeze an alien’s neck. But is can take 20 minutes so be ready to take your time ! They are also “alien-traps” you can use to demobilize them, but you must be prepared.

This is a superbly published, well presented and incredibly amusing guide to the Alien Invasion. It is not cheaply published, indeed includes an alien embossed on the cover and three colour (black, white and red) printing inside. The cartoons, photos and fact files are nicely reproduced (as well as being very funny) and the way in which the whole book is presented like a government “self defense” manual is marvellous.

I loved this book and laughed from beginning to end…at least until the alien came in my window with a large probe in hand…
