The Threat was published by Simon & Schuster in January 1998.  It contains the first comprehensive evidence-driven hypothesis about the meaning and goals of the UFO and abduction phenomenon.  No other hypothesis has included all of the evidence as we have learned it since the mid-20th century.  This book is a logical extension of Secret Life and answers many of the "why" questions that have puzzled UFO researchers for decades.
