Although some of the less-than-gushing Amazon reviews of Millennial Hospitality kept me dancing around a purchase for months, discretion finally surrendered to rabid curiousity. I'm happy to report that my investment was well-rewarded. Mr. Hall is no T.E Lawrence, and that's a good thing. His writing style is refreshingly naive. Seek elsewhere for High Art, this is a fictionalized, grunt's-eye-view of an exceptionally bizarre footnote to military history. The reader is forced to experience it solely through the emotions of the story's rather vulnerable main character. Yes, Charlie "Baker" seems to need to thump his chest with great frequency but, last time I checked, that's what soldiers do. The fact that the trilogy is said to be autobiographical only adds to it's Twilight Zone strangeness. If you crave the kind of dusty exotica usually unearthed at flea markets and in the musty corners of antique bookshops, look no further than Charles James Hall's Millennial Hospitality.

I consider myself a UFO enthusiast. I believe our government is keeping very important info regarding UFO's and aliens from us. I heard a friend tell me about the 'Tall Whites' out in the desert, and did some online research, thats how I came across this book.

While reading this book it occured to me that this was NOT some story of a true event that happened 40 yrs ago on a AFB, it is the story of a very lonely man on a desolate base far out in the desert. A man that had a LOT of time to daydream and imagine strange occurances. The story of 'Range Four Harry' preceeded Airman Hall's arrival to Nellis AFB, and once planted, his mind and imagination took over.

How many times does he say how intelligent he is? That he is smarter than all the other humans? That everyone likes him and can't do enough for him because he has saved everyones life?? A man desperate for acceptance and this story 'validates' him.

I am sure he NEVER intended to publish this work of fiction, until his wife ran into his 'hobby' of making himself feel good and important.(she kept running into him typing away on a computer, he always shut it off when she came in, saying he was 'just relaxing').

I wish I had read the review by Julian's Daughter before buying, as it would have saved me $80, as I bought all 3 'Millennial' books. Instead of it being a 'true story' and charging $30, it should be a novel and sell for $6.95.
