The Watchers

What am I looking at? 
Neil Spring's The Watchers.

Whassit about? 
Well... it starts off as a straight forward alien conspiracy thriller before morphing into a horror / occult nightmare.

Okay? 
There are reports of UFOs and aliens showing up in Wales doing terrible things to the locals and their children. It's mostly dismissed as a hoax until a government official turns up to investigate after receiving some classified documents hinting at military involvement. Could these peculiar happenings be some sort of unofficial weapon testing? As the story develops the protagonist starts to experience some of these peculiar happenings first hand. At first he is sceptical but begins to question his own sanity the more these occurrences happen. Are these events triggering some repressed memory or is he just becoming increasingly delusional? Who are these strange men in black suits? Military officials, aliens in disguise or could some other covert force be at hand?

Sounds a bit epic. 
It is and gets increasingly so as the tale goes on. By the the end we were completely wiped out.

Cool. So it's good then? 
Yes.

Great. Thanks. Bye.
