CONSUMER ALERT
An unauthorized PDF version of The Gods of Eden has been posted on the internet in violation of the copyright. This PDF is apparently a photocopy of the authorized Avon paperback edition and has missing pages and pieces of text. Someone calling him or herself "Sunlight Publishing" had taken this PDF and made an unauthorized Kindle version from it that was sold at Amazon, although it has since been removed.
There is also an unauthorized Spanish-language edition of The Gods of Eden that has been made available as a PDF on the internet. I do not know who translated it, and I cannot vouch for its quality or accuracy.
I am flattered that there has been so much interest in The Gods of Eden and that some people feel passionately that it should be shared with the world. However, illegal publication of this kind actually harms the author because quality and accuracy cannot be controlled, and what the author wishes to share may be distorted.
The authorized English-language version of The Gods of Eden is the Avon Books mass-market paperback. I am pleased that Avon has made it very inexpensive and easily available, and I am proud to be published by them. For people on a tight budget, the second-hand market makes the book practically free. German, Japanese, Polish, and Estonian language editions were also authorized years ago, but I do not know if they are still in print.
Please support writers and authors by acquiring only the authorized editions of their works.

Questions & Answers
Q: Two decades have passed since you first published The Gods of Eden. Do you still take the theory seriously?
A: My biggest surprise is that the theory is still holding up. When I first started giving talks about the book in late 1989-1990, the Cold War was ending and the Berlin Wall was coming down. It seemed like we were about to enter the Age of Aquarius. But I noticed that some localized conflicts were being triggered by radical Islamists. I said to one audience at the time that if the theory is true, and if nothing has changed, then we will see radical Islam replace the communist bloc as the next big faction to breed non-stop war and strife. Sadly, the prediction proved to be true. Although there are some details in the book that I would change today, the core theory continues to hold up in light of current events, and it continues to have predictive qualities.
Q: Are you a member of any religious, spiritual, or fraternal organizations?
A: No, I am not. I am interested in "scientific spirituality" such as studies into the near-death phenomenon, and the role of consciousness in the formation and perception of reality, but there are no groups or organized practices that I am a member of. I just read books, have chats with people over coffee, and peruse New Scientist magazine. There are also no religions or organizations that I support or recommend that people join--these are very personal decisions that I leave up to the reader.
Q: As a result of writing The Gods of Eden, what is your prognosis for humanity's future?
A: Change is always possible, and the problems discussed in my book are capable of being solved: it is simply a question of if they will be solved. Since writing The Gods of Eden, I have read a little more of the UFO abduction literature. The evidence of a large-scale ET-human hybrid breeding program suggests that a big change, possibly an elimination-and-replacement scenario, is being planned for humanity's future. I recommend Dr. David Jacob's two books The Threat and Walking Among Us for a recent discussion of some of the possible implications.
Q: In light of what you have written and said in interviews, what can people do?
A: Pray that the debunkers are right, and that there is no alien presence on Earth. If the debunkers are wrong, then humanity may be facing a big challenge. The biggest obstacle to meeting that challenge is that too many people can be persuaded to do objectively harmful things in a sincere belief that they are doing good for the world. Keep exploring, communicating, and living a good life. Every person's thoughts and ideas are important, and together a solution becomes possible.
A NOTE ABOUT THE TITLE
There has been a little confusion between my book and two other works with a similar title. My book, The Gods of Eden was first published in 1989. In 2002, Andrew Collins published a book that he titled Gods of Eden which is on a different topic. In 2007, a set of lectures was released on CD titled Gods of Eden by Ramtha (J.Z. Knight). Each is a separate work by unaffiliated authors. I have not read Mr. Collins' book or heard the CDs, but I am happy if I was able to provide any inspiration to these or any other writers.
