Well, 'The Sheikh's Kidnapped Bride' can be considered among the best. It's a classic in the abduction romance genre, with a lot of passion and cultural elements thrown in. 'Abducted by the Highland Laird' is also a wonderful choice. The abduction in this novel leads to a story full of adventure and deepening love between the characters. And don't forget 'Taken by the Cowboy', where the cowboy's act of abduction (in a rather non - traditional sense) sparks a sweet and steamy romance.
There are indeed such books. 'A Stolen Life' by Jaycee Dugard is a memoir, which is a true story about her own abduction and years in captivity. It gives a very personal and harrowing account of what she went through.
One of the well - known ones is 'The Taking' by Dean Koontz. It's a gripping tale where strange abductions occur and the mystery unfolds in a very suspenseful way.
In my opinion, books on alien abduction true stories are not very reliable. The so - called 'true stories' often lack corroborating evidence. There are no scientific studies that can prove the authenticity of these abduction claims. It could be that people are misinterpreting dreams or other psychological phenomena as alien abductions.
One common theme is the power dynamic. The abductor usually has some form of power over the abducted at first, but as the story progresses, the power balance shifts as love develops. Another theme is redemption. The abductor may be initially seen as a villain, but through the love story, they seek redemption. And there's also the theme of forbidden love, as the relationship starts in an unorthodox and often illegal way.
In 'Under the Dome' by Stephen King, although not a traditional abduction in the sense of aliens taking people away, the town is 'abducted' in a way, cut off from the rest of the world by an invisible dome. It has elements of fantasy as the townspeople face strange phenomena within the dome and it can be seen as a form of abduction into a strange new world.
I think 'Communion' is extremely popular. It was one of the first books to really bring the concept of alien abduction into the mainstream. People were intrigued by Strieber's account of his experiences.
One common theme is the search for the missing child. In many of these books, the family or the authorities are constantly looking for the abducted child, which creates a sense of urgency and suspense. Another theme is the psychological impact on the victims and their families. The abducted child may suffer from trauma, and the family goes through a lot of emotional turmoil. For example, in 'The Lovely Bones', the family is shattered by the abduction and murder of the girl. Also, the identity of the abductor is often a major theme. Uncovering who is behind the abduction and their motives is what drives much of the plot in these books.
Another one could be 'Taken' by Dean Koontz. It has elements of abduction within its fictional plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat with mystery and suspense.
The most popular one might be 'Communion' as it received a lot of media attention. It really made people start thinking more about the concept of alien abduction in a fictional and also somewhat semi - believable way.
