A Must Read for the Open-Minded Reader

If what is written in this book is true, than this will be one of the most important books you read in your life. I personally believe Phillip Krapf, but that is my personal belief after conducting my own research. Even if you do not believe his story, you can still take away wonderful insights that what is happening in our world is awful and we are on the wrong path as a species if we don't change our ways soon. The below is directed at the author of the book; Mr. Krapf. Sir, if you are reading this, thank you for sharing your story. If none of this would have happened, I am sure you would have been very happy to live out your life with a comfortable ease. You were chosen to write this book and I for one listened. Don't ever forget that this was truly a gift to you; even if it does cause great pain at times in your life. You know the truth and have witnessed it first hand. I am sure that many reporters would be willing to endure personal pain in order to get the full truth of a story. You were selected (probably mostly on the fact that you are a VERY skeptical person and a good writer) to begin to tell the greatest story we have ever known. That is a gift and please don't forget that you represent all of us who want to know the truth and want to live in a better world that is at peace. I fail to understand why most of the world believes in God and the stories of the bible, but yet can't for one moment believe that there are more advanced life forms out there that have far greater scientific knowledge than us and have mastered space travel. And of course any truly advanced species would want peace in the universe. Every modern scientist that I have read and listened to that has broached the subject of "is it possible that there is other life in our universe?" give it a 100% chance. Where there is life, evolution will lead to eventual intelligent life if the circumstances are right. So the question is really, have these other life forms (which are far older than the human race) mastered space travel? Einstein was a brilliant man, but he didn't understand the universe as a whole. He spent his last years trying to come up with a theory of everything which he died without being able to complete. My point is that WE DON'T KNOW IT ALL. History has proven time and time again that what we believe is true isn't always. Just ask Copernicus or Darwin. I hope our species can survive long enough to make contact with these peaceful, helpful and wonderful aliens who want nothing more than to help us obtain peace, share what they know and VASTLY improve all of our lives. Hopefully the people of the world will finally get to hear the truth before the crazy and insane leaders of this world who keep starting wars (which they don't fight in) kill us all. If people would simply use their logic they would quickly understand that any species that has mastered time travel would have no problem easily taking over Earth if that was their intentions. Clearly when it co

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THEY BEAMED YOU UP?

I've read several of the reviews here and some people need to lighten up! This book is Great! It IS well written because it holds your interest and you can finish it in one sitting. His description of his first few moments aboard the ship are sublime in their ordinary surreality. I could imagine myself in his shoes (slippers?) as he walked along the corridors behind the E.T.'s and noted NOT how did they circumnavigate the universe or what was the source of their propulsion system, but rather how their legs moved in relation to their upper body so that they seemed to glide instead of stepping forward. His style is simple, wry and forthright. He offers plausible explanations on the section of Heaven and the 12 Gates of Pearl. And, wow, what I wouldn't give to view the cosmos from the giant, transparent observation bubble that overlooked the ship. He describes the aftermath of this event in his Epilouge; the reactions of his wife, his colleagues, his religious beliefs and even his doubts as to whether the incident was real or imagined. Plus, he does reveal somewhat of a timeline of events to come. Please understand, he's a minor player in this endeavor. The "Ambassadors" are the ones to watch for and since I live in Arizona, the next few years may prove to be quite interesting. I highly recommend this book and if you get the chance, listen to an interview with him. He was so engaging and amusing in the telling of this incredible story! That's what made me buy the book in the first place.

There isn't just one answer out there.

I read this book in July of 1999. I found Mr Krapf's account interesting and encouraging and I admire his courage in following through and writing this book. I thought he told his story in an honest, direct, and non-sensational way. Like many other readers, I sincerely hope this account is true. I don't believe he is perpetrating a hoax and I don't think he is crazy. Also, I hope we don't "flunk" as a species and get bound to this planet for who knows how long. I'm 42 years old and I would love to see major, peaceful changes occur on this planet. I am a psychologist and I have read extensively about the abduction experience because I believe something real is happening and I want to understand it's impact on people. I just read through all the other reviews. I suspect we will never know the whole complex truth about the various species visiting our planet from other worlds. Verdants don't seem to interfere with the work of other groups, so similar looking humanoid beings may be doing genetic research, or all kinds of things the Verdants don't feel responsible to address. This is only the very tip of the iceberg in terms of the information Mr. Krapf said would be released. I'm waiting, right along with the rest of you.

Read This Book With An Open Mind

Dear Reader, I enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it. I believe there are different extraterrestrial species out there besides the Verdants and they all have a different agenda. No one knows who is telling the truth these days so read this book with an open mind and remember it. This is one human among many who was contacted by extraterrestrials to prepare humankind for contact. If what he says is true ---and we will all know in 2002--- IT WILL BE ONE OF THE GREATEST EVENTS FOR HUMANKIND. Since the publication of his book, Phillip Krapf has written a 53,000-word document titled "The Verdant Agenda: An Update" that I also highly recommend. Peace, Tom

Time will tell!

In view of Y2K and rumors of martial law, roaming hoards of looters and societal collapse, this book provides a diversion from concerning ourselves with such events. Instead we are led to believe that the Verdants, who have allegedly been watching us for 1,000 years, with their "absolute intelligence" and benevolent motives, wish to offer humanity an opportunity to join the "Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets." Mr. Krapf even outlines a timetable for these events to occur in the relatively near future. Announcements will be made by prominent world leaders already recruited by the Verdants in the first few months of 2002 and by 2010, with the Verdants sharing their technology, we'll be building our own starships and probing nearby stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. But why is it taking three years to compile the plans of the world leaders for their beginning announcements? Oh, because the "work must be done at home on evening and weekends." Such a monumental event should take absolute priority! If true, think of the millions of lives that could be saved by an earlier announcement and the Verdants sharing their medicinal and technological achievements that much sooner. Was Mr. Krapfs transportation aboard the 200,000 year old star cruiser named "Goodwill" a CIA neural implant, or did the event actually occur? There is no hard evidence. Had he the foresight to regurgitate the meals he was fed or submit his stool and urine for analysis after he returned, that may have supplied us something concrete to backup his story since all of his food was synthesized from plant matter unlike that grown on Earth. Or the boxer shorts that they supplied him with - did they have special detergent residue unlike that on our planet? Too bad Mr. Krapf didn't return with a souvenir - from soap, razor, after-shave lotion, toothbrush, or toothpaste, to the "softest and most comfortable" slippers he had ever worn. Will these events unfold as told by Mr. Krapf? Will the Earth finally reach our rightful place in the universe as a laughing and loving society? Or will the Verdants end their contact by giving up on us due to the "20% incorrigibles" that they choose to withhold space technology from? That could be a reason (excuse) if the foregoing events do not take place. But I'm willing to give Mr. Krapf the benefit of the doubt and see what unfolds over the next few years
