Review
The Catchers Of Heaven is a unique compendium of the thought and insights of Michael Wolf. Well-written and thought-provoking, The Catchers Of Heaven is an exciting new genre in the art of writing addressing the topics of art, science, and religion. Of special interest are Wolf's observations on the connection between time and space, the continuance of creation, and the impact of environmental hazards on this biosphere. The Catchers Of Heaven is an engaging, fascinating, reading experience. -- Midwest Book Review

"Catchers": National Security consultant reveals UFO secret
"The Catchers of Heaven" is a blockbuster tell-all book by a scientist on the National Security Council's secret subcommittee that manages UFO matters. From his position on the executive committee of what is popularly known as MJ-12, Dr. Michael Wolf was in a position to know virtually everything about UFOs and extraterrestrial contact with Earth over the last 50 years. In amazing first-person chapters, he talks about not only working side-by-side with extraterrestrial consultants at covert government laboratories, but of developing personal friendships with them. His account of a classified meeting in London attended by military intelligence representatives from developed countries, and including the Vatican, gives a fascinating glimpse into the day-to-day struggle to coordinate world policy on how to manage extraterrestrial contact. But this is an intensely personal book as well. In many chapters Dr. Wolf reveals his intense emotions. There is passionate love for his wife, son and unborn child, martyred by terrorists seeking retribution for Wolf's work helping Israeli Intelligence. There is sadness for humanity's folly, as we pollute our Earth with industrial waste and fratricidal wars. There is joy for the vast expansive cosmic future that is within our grasp, if we but live up to our spiritual potential. "The Catchers of Heaven" is at once a kiss-and-tell book disclosing top secrets about government-UFO contact, a lyrical and poignant biographical statement, and a message of hope to the generation of children who will live the cosmic future this book outlines. As an internationally recognized researcher into ET-human contact, I rate it the most important UFO book published to date. - Richard Boylan, Ph.D.

Worth the Effort
Having read a number of the glowing reviews, I began the book eagerly but bogged down in the 1st 30 pages with Rabbi Stone and all and was not sure it was worth it. I might have quit except that I had a dream in which Michael Wolf's son came to me and asked just what I was having trouble with in the book, expressing concern. I remember little more from the dream but it got my attention, and I determined to keep going. The beginning was difficult with so much stream of consciousness and jumping around in time. I also had difficulty following the physics lectures, and sorting out if this was just too far over my head, or it wasn't meant to be fully understood. My educational background is in biology, so when the rainforests came up, I could tell the writing was, in fact, just plain confusing, and could benefit from some additional editing, if clarity is a goal.

All said, the gems of information and insight into a multi-dimensional existence, and into government involvement were worth the effort. It is hard to believe this could be pure fiction, because it is so personal. And it is written by someone who seems to have firsthand experience of non-linear time, and of a greater existence beyond an earthly lifetime.

Here are some passages that struck me:

"This Trilogy is written only because I firmly believe that people have rights: They deserve to know! I do not seek forgiveness. I swear eternal hostility upon those who would rule the minds of men. In a so-called "free" society, the right to know must exist. If a man sees, hears, and feels, he cannot be told he did not see, he did not hear, he did not feel, for this is the 'Tyranny over the mind of man.' This tyranny must end...now."

"I am overwhelmed with the knowledge that the majority of global citizens are deliberately kept ignorant of what is happening, what has been happening since the beginning of human history."

Amen. Perhaps his story will help us toward hearings on government secrecy, with amnesty for government employees willing to talk.

I am grateful for the courage and effort it took to get this extraordinary book out. I hope Michael Wolf will stay with us a while longer, not meeting some untimely death, and that he will be able to complete the sequel his son hoped he would write. I also recommend John Mack's book, Passport to the Cosmos, a study of alien encounters which blew holes in my scientific materialist worldview and helped anchor the "Bigger Picture".

Review Of: Catchers of Heaven Dr. Michael Wolf- Dorrance Press By Paola Leopizzi Harris

I am an international correspondent for the Italian Magazines Notizario UFO and Dossier Alieni.and former collaborator ( Italian translations )and was a friend of Astronomer , Dr. J Allen Hyneck for 10 years.

The Truth is Stranger than Fiction: Unraveling the layers

After having read THE CATCHERS OF HEAVEN by Dr. Michael Wolf twice, and after having done numerous interviews with top UFO military informants, I realize that this man is telling the truth about his involvement in the UFO Cover-up. Billed as fiction, the book reveals the intricate workings of a group called the Alphacom team( first contact) and how they were used to interface with several alien visitors. One must read between the lines and one understand the phrase " official deniability" and realize why it was created. It is obvious that there is some wise element in the U.S. government that wants the "truth" to be revealed in this intimate story of the life of Dr. Wolf otherwise it could never have been published. Yes, one is challenged intellectually by this book. It appears as a story , quasi Faulkner-like in its literary style , filled with the stream of consciousness accounts and colorful poetic images , sometimes too abstract for the average reader.. What would you expect from a genius who has many PHDs , a scientist, a philosopher , a painter and an extremely sensitive man who first received a literary award at the age of seven years old.

Michael tells his story and sometimes rants and raves and at first, the reader may become discouraged in reading but those who are able to assimilate the information given will be truly rewarded in the end with a veritable mind expanding experience. The book talks about Dr. Wolf's cloning of a soldier called GI Joe as part of the government's Black Operations program called Project Sentinel. It talks about Michael's childhood and adult experiences of contact with several races of " galactic Visitors" and how he was used by the US government as an " interface" or Intergalactic Ambassador worldwide; how he was sent to Vietnam as Flight surgeon and called back by LBJ because he was too precious and was needed; how he worked at area 51( S4) on genetic research , cloning and neurotoxins ( (the King Cobra has 144 different ones); how he did undercover work for " the Company" ( CIA ) and lived in Rome; how he was used as an extra in the Fellini film 81/2; how he needed to hide his activities from his wife Sara and his son Daniel; how devastated when when he survived a "suspect" car accident that killed his wife, 17 year old son and unborn child. He has reason to rant and rave as he is like to Walt Whitman screaming in pain for lost innocence and serious regret for a life that he truly believed was " a contribution to science and humanity. It is obvious that he has some regrets but it is also obvious in the last chapter that he believes that humanity's saving grace is the ability to grasp the truth and unite together in an atmosphere of unconventional, unconditional love. I was truly moved by this book and I recommend it to all serious researchers who hope to find the truth in our lifetime.
