Near end and he covers a lot, the last few chapters are post 2013 when he wrote the first 5/8ths of the book. He doesn't seem to cast venom or talk crap about anybody and does leave out Doty and his specific deeds for some reason. He does mention that the intelligence agencies Basically infiltrated and took over NICAP, MUFON, and all the other attempts to join and then create a split with the typical divide/disperse methods they use on internet forums seen everywhere today on social media. He doesn't go into the tactics too deeply though.
He does cover how the biggest plausible roadblock is the Energy Industry. It's literally what the world economic system is based on, and releasing any info about anti-gravity and the energy sources used to create enough power in electro-gravitic systems as Lazar describes are phenomenal in power density and lack of emissions/signature. He spends a good deal of time covering why the intelligence agencies could be hiding it and mostly the reasons make sense though we don't like them (every EV could easily be made into a huge bomb, for example).
The amount of time he spends on "Breakaway Civilizations" is curious to me, as it's a fringe topic, but when he mentions that 40 years ago the intelligence agencies had computers faster than 600Mhz which mainstream didn't reach until y2k, if they also took off with that power and the computing/AI Advances made would make them a century or more ahead of us now ("Eons ahead of us" according to one highly placed source) and we are being managed by some maybe not benevolent guidance into a One World Fascist government system that rules by all the spy/data harvesting we see going on now. They can control everybody by being able to ruin them socially and with employers if they get in the way of talking about something they don't want them talking about. That jives with the smearing of rumors and discrediting anybody that comes out with leaks or details like Lazar. The sheer amount of money, in the Billions, spent on keeping this entire thing a secret says a lot about how important it is for many reasons.
So, overall, he gives an excellent overview of some events from 1940s to nearly present, but skips over a few and I don't know why but he does cover some I wasn't very familiar with, like the Aurora, TX incident. There are other books that cover all the 'usual stories' that have pretty solid and extensive documentation (he suggests two of them by author, both pre-2013 though) and states it is impossible to put them all into one book but he gave it a good try with this book. The ones he doesn't mention aren't that major I suppose. He spends a while in a few different spots about telepathy and Remote Viewing and entanglement concepts since some Remote Viewing has been scientifically shown as "Real And Accurate" in a few cases, and many people may have the ability but are told it doesn't exist so they never try to exercise it. Things like Deja Vu often and sometimes getting ideas "out of thin air" that later prove real are something that needs more investigation which the CIA/NSA are doing extensively but are trying to keep it too fringe for mainstream science/funding.
It is a GREAT summary of the state of things and how it has morphed and been viewed, how it was killed every decade and somehow reborn each new decade with additional info, and then buried, rinse and repeat. We're in a cycle now but the pendulum is swinging pretty far now and if there is another intelligence sharing the world with us and living with a breakaway civilization, I don't think it would be disclosed anytime soon. It isn't an excellent expose catalog of all the sightings, but more of a description of the phenomenon and groups that tracked it and how successful they were through the decades, eventually having it dumped into global private sector and the visible .mil/.gov side has no control over it anymore - Presidents aren't even fully briefed. Essentially covers the same problems The "Wilson Memo" described, but from different sources, still verifying the Wilson Memo and that the majority of UAP/UFO/NHI is in the private and black sectors.
He doesn't point out exactly all the bad deeds particular people have done, but he does mention who had ties to intelligence and how the organizations fell apart without naming names which I was sort of hoping for but we already know of the history on some of them. He didn't point out who was a disinfo/manipulating agent but did mention that those types of agents were and are everywhere to try and keep the whole phenomenon a "crackpot conspiracy". He states that all the mainstream news from PBS to Fox are told to not speak about UFOs without sarcasm/mocking if they cover something at all. States that 90% of the media is controlled by just a few companies, which was a revelation in 2013 but now it's pretty obvious.
So a lot of it is kind of a "ok, I know this" but it isn't until the end that he reveals the majority was written prior to 2013 and he didn't update the entire book but added a few chapters at the end. Essentially, most of the hints and potentials for future changes he mentions as possibilities (from 2013 perspective) have proven to be true though, so listening to it and not realizing when it was written can throw you off a bit.
Narrator does a great job as well, which is important to me as I can't hear so good and some of them don't enunciate fully or seem to narrate after lunch and you sometimes hear tongue/ saliva / mouth sounds which drives me nuts.
