[Gods from Outer Space] reads like a transcript of dictation; the author leaps suddenly from one topic to another. This fault is somewhat redeemed by the content—much of his archaeological evidence is unknown outside professional circles. Von Däniken gives us his answers to questions for which there will probably never be enough evidence to find the truth. His book may be interesting reading for some, but one must have faith to believe.
