Review: Well written with a disappointing and incomprehensible ending

For UFO and mystery/thriller buffs, this story is, at least for about 2/3 of it, gripping and very well written.  There were only a small handful of errors and so the manuscript must have been proof-read and cleaned since it was last published on Amazon.  You can disregard any previous comments about spelling and grammatical errors and typos if you don't mind just a few.The book starts out well.  It begins as a fictionalized version of the history of Ufology and is, if this is to be believed, very accurate, although there are some insights and 'facts' never before heard in mainstream accounts.  This keeps it interesting, since many who arrive at this novel, are usually steeped in UFO history.  It really was gripping; however, then the story begins to fade and then turn silly, as if an experienced and excellent writer wrote the first half or so, and then, having had no more UFO history to base the novel on, imagination had to be relied upon, and it falls flat and eventually into a confusing muddled mess.I won't give away the (silly) ending - it really isn't an ending because the reason for the events taking place are never explained and the reader is left dangling - It's as if he's channeling Whitley Strieber when he wrote the awful "Orenda" story and reading Stephen King's Firestarter while doing it.  It's a disappointing mess of a conclusion for what started out as a compelling novel.  Still, for the author's writing ability in the first part of the novel, I am assigning it three stars.  I hope he keeps writing and hones his craft.
