To My Readers:
 It's always exciting to launch a new book, and on June 6 my 16th thriller, UNDISCLOSED will debut in stores. Be sure to call your local store first - there may be a 3-4 day delay in some areas. If you enjoyed DOMAIN & The SHELL GAME, you'll love UNDISCLOSED. Both books are what I call a "Trojan Horse," they come off as fiction but written into the storyline are the real FACTS... in this case dealing with UFOs, extraterrestrials, and super top-secret programs called Unacknowledged Special Access Projects that have black shelved incredible energy technologies ...and, in some cases, murdered eyewitnesses threatening to reveal these forbidden truths. My guide in this dangerous arena has been Dr. Steven M. Greer, a former emergency room doctor who, over the last 30 years, has become the foremost authority on the subject. Dr. Greer has briefed two sitting presidents, CIA directors, members of congress, the Joints Chiefs. He has also interviewed hundreds of eyewitnesses in the military, intelligence agencies, and private defense contractors. Dr. Greer made all of these testimonials available to me as the editor on his non-fiction book, UNACKNOWLEDGED, allowing me to use what I needed to pen UNDISCLOSED.
UNACKNOWLEDGED debuted on April 25.
UNDISCLOSED debuts on June 6.
PLEASE buy a copy for yourself and... heck, if there's a birthday coming up, grab multiple copies (if you email me their name, I'll sign a Happy Birthday bookplate for you). After you read the book, please post a review on amazon.
I promise you'll love the book.
As always, your support means the world to me. Thank you.
--Steve Alten

Did you sign up to be a V.I.P. Member?
|
For the last twenty years and sixteen thrillers, I've had the privilege and honor of being in direct contact with my readers. By personally answering every email at [email protected] I've gotten to know many of you, and through monthly newsletters I've offered character contests where my fans can become part of my next book. As the MEG movie approaches, I realize that millions of new fans will be introduced to the MEG series and my other works, and that I may not have the time to answer every email. Before that happens, I want to ensure that my superfans (MEGheads) always have direct access to reach me and that their years of loyalty are duly rewarded. And so, I've decided to offer something special - a
Steve Alten V.I.P. access pass. Membership is free (simply sign-up), but future access will be limited prior to the movie release on August 10, 2018.
Steve Alten V.I.P.'s receive:
- A private email address to reach Steve Alten (in case I get swamped when the movie hits theaters).
- Special "behind-the scenes" access to the MEG Movie & future Steve Alten projects.
- Future Character Contests will only be open to V.I.P.s.
- FABs.

Fan Appreciation Books
First edition hardbacks are considered collector editions. A signed first edition from a NY Times best-selling author is valuable; a personalized and signed first edition happens only when the author participates in a special book signing event. Because of Parkinson's, my appearances at bookstores are becoming even more rare.
However, prior to each new release, I will set aside a limited number of first edition hardbacks and spend 2 days signing these FABs.
SILVER FAB: A SIGNED collector's FIRST EDITION hardback. RETAIL PRICE plus S&H.
 GOLD FAB: A SIGNED & PERSONALIZED collector's FIRST EDITION hardback, sealed in a PROTECTIVE PLASTIC COVER with a stamped FAB Gold Seal. RETAIL PRICE plus $9.99 & S&H.
Books will be shipped ON or BEFORE the official publication date. Only GOLD FABs will be personalized.
If you already ordered your GOLD FAB, I am signing your book and shipping them THIS WEEK. Same for SILVER FABs.
I expect to have about 70-80 extra signed silver books. If you would like one, they will be made available at the V.I.P. link at
www.SteveAlten.com on a first come - first served basis starting JUNE 2, 2017.
Again, a silver is a signed hardback. The price is the retail list price of $27.95, plus S&H.

Joke of the Month:
|
 A guy walks into a sperm bank wearing a ski mask and holding a gun. He approaches the nurse on duty and demands she open the vault. "But sir, it's a sperm bank... there's no money inside." "I don't care, open it now!" She opens it, revealing vials of containers holding sperm. "Now, I want you to take a few of those samples... and drink it." "Drink it?" "Yes! Do it now." So the nurse drinks two of the samples. When she finishes, he removes his mask. "See honey, it wasn't so bad."
