Broke, unemployed, and alone, Mario Sasso, now Paris Tosen, volunteered to commandeer a genuine starcraft in June 2006 in order to dispel the antiquated UFO cover-up. He thought it was a simple task. By July the mission was failing badly and the CIA had tried to assassinate him-the first of many attempts on his life by clandestine agencies. Captain Starman is an honest account of a mission doomed to fail, but it also provides a rare look at the covert agencies sworn to prevent disclosure-the same agencies that deny the existence of extraterrestrial races. Tosen has written an absorbing, informative, and unflinching memoir about the illusions of national security.
