Unacknowledged : an expose of the world's greatest secret
by Steven M Greer
The biggest lie in history is about to be shattered. UFOs are real. In late June 1947, three extraterrestrial craft were downed outside Roswell Air Force Base. Many more followed, revealing dozens of ET species and a Rosetta Stone to a new physics of energy generation and a propulsion system responsible for interstellar space travel. This new system could have easily replaced oil, gas, coal, nuclear plants and with them, the entire geo-political and economic order on our planet; only a cabal of bankers, the military industrial complex and Big Oil stopped it. We've been lied to. And now, 70 years after Roswell, the witnesses to that lie have come forward to testify in a MUST-READ book that will shock the world.

Brief Encounters: Conversations, Magic Moments, and Assorted Hijinks
by Dick Cavett
Drawn from former talk-show host Dick Cavett's New York Times column, this sometimes funny, sometimes reflective collection covers a variety of topics, but primarily focuses on reminiscences about Hollywood legends and American cultural icons. Fans of Cavett's years in front of the camera will relish his stories, as will those who may have missed out on his show but still love celebrity tales: Stan Laurel, Groucho Marx, Muhammad Ali, and Nora Ephron all make appearances.
