While the current crop of conspiracy theories are ridiculous at best and infuriating at worst, some of the oldies are still goodies. Especially when they get co-opted by science fiction writers for their own purposes [insert evil laugh here]. Which brings me to this email interview with writer Ian Douglas (a.k.a. William H. Keith, Jr.) about his new military sci-fi novel Alien Hostiles (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), the sequel to 2020’s Alien Secrets and second book in his Solar Warden trilogy, in which the “Reptilians” of UFO conspiracies are real…and invasive.
