Cheers mate. - By: J. H. Van Veen, 29 Sep 2008 
If the situation is like Dr Jacobs says it is WHY BOTHER to tell us?? There is nothing we can do to stop this agenda so do we need to know so we can live out the rest of our supposed short livesin fear & dread? I do not see the point of this book, other than to fear monger. There is a lot happening on planet earth & I sense a lot of it is positive, there's hope people, do not bother with books etc that frighten you like this, it is all part of the agenda...
Don't Believe the Hype - By: Mr. J. P. Dooley, 15 Sep 2008 
Having just finished reading the book, a few thoughts occurred to me. Why would aliens go to so much trouble to breed hybrids, that would carry out a plan for world domination? The planet hasn't many centuries left, so why go to all the bother? What would the aliens gain anyway? If it was natural resources they were after then why not just use their 'advanced technology' & take the planet over for crying out loud!!!? If it was to enslave humanity, then why not just enslave their hybrids & the job is done!
Although interestingin subject matter, the book doesn't really offer anything tangible as to why the aliens are looking at world domination. As for the abductees, are they just frustrated, bored & seeking attention? Sorry Dr.Jacobs, this book doesn't offer anything that challenges our 'rational' scientific minds anything.
Everyone really must read this book! - By: , 23 Dec 2001 
I am not the worlds biggest reader but I read this bookin one day.It terrified me & i found it very hard to sleep that night. I believe that all humans should read this book,from reading just the back of the book you could say it was laughable but the actaul contents of the book are backed up with evidence that you will not findin any other ufo type book.Ive tried to get family & friends to read it but once again ignorance & narrow mindedness prevent them from getting past the cover.This is a book not just for ufo enthusiasts but a book for mankind although a bit of initial reading may ease the highly sceptic into it, i reccommend Alien Liason by T.Good as a good introductory book.
I feel great sympathy for the author David Jacobs who must be subject to much ridicule but has produced outstanding results from research.I only wonder how much the government knows & whether they are maybein the dark to the true nature of whats going on.
After reading this I recommend some of the chapters from Nigel kerner's (the song of the greys) which provides some very interesting ideas although some chapters were very complex & hard to understand. Now only time will tell as we sit back defenseless to our own future.The Threat is amazing yet terrifying & will change the way you look at yourself & earth forever!
Extremely disturbing - By: , 31 Aug 2001 In this serious & disturbing book, Dr David Jacobs, a sober & respected history professor, carefully evaluates the evidence for a seemingly ludicrous possibility. Namely that people are regularly being abducted by aliens & subjected to genetic experimentation.
You will no doubt read this review & approach the book thinking that it's basically ridiculous & the author must be some kind of nutter.
Before you dismiss it, though, consider for a start that the leading researchersin this field are not New Age freaks but respected academics. E.g. one of the others is Dr John Mack, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. (In fact he came to the subject when he was overwhelmed with psychiatric referrals from people claiming to be abducted by aliens, & upon further investigation decided that whatever the explanation was, it couldn't be psychiatric.)
In a nutshell, the evidence consists of extraordinary corroboration between the accounts of hundreds of abductees worldwide, obtained both by conscious recall & hypnotic regression. There seems to be no possible explanation for the consistency of these accounts (hoaxes, delusions, hallucinations & unconscious influence from books/films can all be ruled out). There is also significant physical evidence for the abductions.
Dr Jacobs is himself profoundly disturbed by the conclusion, reluctantly reached, that the accounts of these abductees must be largely accurate. Indeed, sufficient information has been gleaned over the last decade or so for it to be possible to piece together what the aliens seem to be doing & what it's all leading up to, apparentlyin the near future, which if true will have devastating implications for us all.
I urge you to take this book seriously & read it.
A serious, well-argued, and very disturbing book - By: , 15 Apr 2001 Far from being a crank as you might expect, Dr David Jacobs is a history professor, & uses his sober academic skills, particularly at evaluating evidence, to examine seriously the superficially unbelievable possibility that a small but growing proportion of people are abducted by aliens.
His conclusion that this is probably happening is very carefully argued & evaluated and, though incredible, follows almost inescapably from the (circumstantial but compelling) evidence.
If this sounds all too weird, please read the book. I like to think I'm an intelligent reader (university educated & all that) & though initially sceptical I was convinced by his arguments. You may also like to read his previous book Secret Life, written when the possibility of alien abduction was only starting to be taken seriously.
By the way, The Threat pieces together something not apparent when the previous book was written, namely just why the aliens might be doing what they're apparently doing, & it makes very, very disturbing reading.
