Getting to know UFOs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is the first novel I have read by Watson and likely not the last because Miracle Visitors does what the best sf does, which is make the reader think. That might be an understatement, considering what Watson is taking on, which begins with the mysteries of UFOs and alien abductions, MIBs, etc and takes a startling turn I wont spoil here. The story goes from England to Egypt to the Moon (in two very interesting scenes) and finally to the US. Suffice to say, I thought it worked brilliantly.
A true mind-bender
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This, along Watson's first novel THE EMBEDDING, was listed on the top 100 SF books of all time by Interzone editor David Pringle. Here, Watson represents obsession with UFOs as a legitimate religious impulse leading to a "UFO state" of consciousness. Overt allusions to William Blake and Carl Jung help put this work in context as an attempt to mythologize (through science-fictional motifs) the eternal quest for unity of awareness. The aliens in this book, however, do not, as they do so often in conventional SF, represent the most expanded potential of higher knowledge. This responsibility is placed on the human mind and imagination.
