Song of the Greys is an interesting, albeit very difficult to read. It covers the usual Government conspiracy subject and has a heap of Whitley Streiber thrown in. If Mr Kerner is correct then we have all been duped and our outlook is a bit depressing.
It contains science that will make your head spin and I found myself being sidetracked and searching other material as reference. One main criticism would be the making up of 'new words' the book is already complicated enough I feel. The author presents his case that we ie, 'mankind, did not evolve from apes as the Darwinian theorists would suggest. No, we actually evolved (apparently) from another and more highly evolved type of 'being' of which at this point in time, no one has found and fossilised record of their existence although the author believes that may happen one day. The main thrust of the book is the telling that the 'aliens' known as the 'Greys', are in point of fact some type of Robot that has been sent out throughout the universe to seek a threat to them and their creators an interesting concept but one which is still as yet debateable. Nigel extends this by saying that not only are the 'Greys' looking for 'hostiles' (so to speak) their main agenda and one which these reviewers feel is quite alluring, is the fact that the greys are on a mission not only to seek out sperm and ova from their unfortunate victims, but in reality they are in point of fact searching from us humans, the 'soul factor'. Kerner explains that as they 'the greys' were manufactured rather than being born, they are on a mission to seek from us where our soul lies and essentially how they can incorporate 'our' soul into their own persona of 'being'. Moreover, as they currently don't have a 'soul' of their own, they view humankind as a threat to their existence should we ever physically meet on a world wide scale rather than their numerous intrusions that are currently ongoing just now. Apparently they are also aware of the survival of humans after physical material death, and that to them is the crux of their search, the soul and the continuity of life. (Albeit in a different condition)
Kerner goes into great detail in his book about this concept and how difficult it will be for the greys to accomplish this feat. The main concept and arguments that Kerner puts over in this book is more than this little review can cover. At times this can be a heavy read but if one sticks with it one can clearly see the concept and argument that Kerner puts over evolve. Of course Kerner's concepts have been said before, but I would state here that it's Kerner's ability to weave historical and recent incidents together along with some surprising revelations of his own, that makes this book a worthy collector's piece which will sit easily on the book case of any UFOlogist.
This is a well written, informative but hard read, not recommended for the reader with only a casual interest in the subject. If you stay the course with this book through all the chapters that weave Nigel's theories together, then come the end it all ties up and makes sense.
A thought provoking book different from all the rest which deserves a wider audience than sadly the target audience that it may fall to.
