Years before the Heaven's Gate cult erupted into global notoriety through mass suicide, cult researcher William Alnor had documented the absurdities of its beginnings in UFO Cults in the New Age. Now in UFO Cults and the New Millennium Alnor comprehensively describes the rise and fall of the Heaven's Gate cult and its founders, Marshall H. Applewhite and Bonnie L. Trusdale Nettles. He goes on to detail the beliefs and activities of numerous similar cults -- the Solar Temple cult, Aum Shinri Kyo, the Raelian Movement, and others bent on mass suicide or worldwide destruction.
