Cornered at a family gathering by a nine-year-old that asks him who he is, movie critic Andrew Collins found himself with no definite answer. In this memoir he sets out to retrace how he got to where he is today. Seventeen precarious jobs in seventeen years: from trolley collector at Sainsbury's to high-flying film critic sipping cocktails with Will Smith and Jerry Bruckheimer on a yacht in Cannes. This is Andrew's tale of rubbing shoulders with the world's biggest stars: pissing off Christina Ricci, having his hairstyle mocked by Noel Gallagher, trying not to wake Clive James from his afternoon nap, having his apple pie eaten by Bob Geldof, and somehow stumbling into the next dream job. Along the way, he's been the world's worst gossip columnist, a television presenter, a scriptwriter, and a ghost writer. The book charts a world of hedonism, the mundane, towering egos, shallow idiocy, and occasional moments of mind-blowing joy.

<p>This is the story of an ancient tribe of super-intelligent beings that lived on the Iraq-Iranian border and who, through their wisdom, created the basis for Western civilization. Unable to know what to call them, mankind gave them the name of angels. But they were not angels - they were a race unto themselves. The author, Andrew Collins, has investigated archaeological data as well as cultural and literary sources to produce an account of this lost culture. Their knowledge was such that mankind lived in fear of them as well as in awe. Mankind ascribes Pagan myths, supernatural magic, and the power of the divine to this race, and as organized religion became more powerful, it sought to eliminate all traces of this forbidden and secretive group of people.</p>

<p>LightQuest is a startling new way to embrace and investigate the UFO phenomenon. Since the modern flying saucer era began in 1947 we have been conditioned to see UFOs as interplanetary craft and their occupants either as intergalactic ambassadors or invaders from space. Tales of crashed saucers, ancient aliens, crop circles, and alien abductions dominate UFO literature and media presentations, but has this led us astray? Evidence now points to UFOs, mystery lights, and alien intelligences being far more exotic than we have ever imagined. They now can be seen as sentient energy forms and complex plasma constructs manifestations of a higher dimensional reality that has co-existed with the human race since time immemorial, and was in the past seen as the Realm of Faerie. This book embraces a new understanding of the UFO phenomenon by accepting that its existence is deeply rooted in everything from quantum entanglement to multi-dimensional experiences, strange worlds that interpenetrate our own, and psychic communications. Even the alien abduction is described, defined and clearly understood for the first time. LightQuest is also a field guide to some of Britain and the United States' top UFO hotspots: where to go, what to do, and what exactly you might expect to see there. It also includes a creative visualization to be used by light questers worldwide to commune with the light intelligences in the hope of drawing them into manifestation. Some of the locations detailed include: Roswell, NM; Piedmont. MO; Marfa, TX; Allagash, ME; Brown Mountain, NC; Indian Head Rock, NH; Yakima/Mt. Adams, WA; Avebury, UK; Alton Barnes, UK; Warminster, UK; Aveley, UK; Peak District, UK; Rendlesham, UK; and the Dove Dale Valley, UK. Heavily illustrated throughout with numerous maps, photos and illustrations and includes an 8-page 24 color photo insert. Contains an extensive Introduction by Dr. Gregory L. Little that details the first university-based scientific field study of UFOs (researching UFO manifestations in Missouri as they actually occurred). This study, conducted in the 1970s, took place over 7 years and included over 35 physical scientists, engineers, and others utilizing sophisticated instrumentation. Nearly 160 viewing stations were employed and 157 documented sightings of 178 different UFOs were made. In addition, scientific studies of the Yakima, WA UFO reports are detailed along with the UK s Ministry of Defence Project Condign Report. UFOs are real, but they are something far more intriguing than beings from other worlds. The reality of UFO experiences is undeniable-but our interpretations of them have been marred by the UFO field insisting that they must be extraterrestrial craft.</p>
