Publisher Description
Alien Hunter: The White House is the electrifying third installment in Whitley Strieber's Alien Hunter series
The aliens have seen many worlds, but they know that Earth in particular is a jewel. They lust for its soaring mountains, its shining seas, its gorgeous forests, and majestic deserts. There is just one part of the planet that they don't want: us.
Flynn Carroll knows that the aliens are a race of brilliance and extraordinary cruelty. And he knows that they have found a way to eliminate humanity: capture the mind of the president of the United States. Control him, and you control the most powerful man in the world.
Though Carroll is determined to stop the aliens from achieving their goal, the president remains ignorant of the danger that he and the rest of the planet are in. With doomsday coming ever closer, Carroll might be the only hope for the survival of the human race.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An unthinkable crime the murder of an aide in the middle of the day at the White House catalyzes the plot of Strieber's unwieldy third Alien Hunter novel (after Alien Hunter: Underworld). Steel-willed operative Flynn Carroll reprises his role as an agent extraordinaire in Detail 242, the CIA's secret task force assigned to counter Aeon, a planet whose aliens clandestinely invaded Earth years earlier. When Carroll uncovers a plot by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence to collaborate with Aeon and provoke nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia, he's thrust into a series of adventures that he barely survives. Though exciting in spots, Strieber's thriller is punctuated with lengthy generic action sequences, and his caricature of the deliriously dysfunctional First Family at the center of the intrigues approaches the comic absurd. Portentous prose ("Time does not eradicate the madness of men") further magnifies the novel's shortcomings.
