“Matera’s latest mystery is a hoot. It will drive the Pentagon non-UFO believers crazy and probably end up being the inspiration for an X-Files episode… . This fast-moving tale is peppered with eccentric characters, snappy dialogue and a creative plot. ” —San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle

“Matera has proved more than once that she is the master when it comes to dabbling in Northern California flakiness for her mystery plots. This time she focuses on alien abduction… . Matera cleverly walks the line here between milking the material for humor and taking it all too seriously… . Mystery fans can’t fail to be entertained. ” —San Jose Mercury News
