One of the most common genres of science fiction deals with alien conspiracies — most often, conspiracies that are kept secret by the US government. In this genre, it's never quite certain who's telling the truth, why secrets are kept from mainstream people, or what the end game of the alien visitors really is.
You may have seen this genre in action when you watched X-Files as a kid, or if you've taken a look at Stranger Things on Netflix. You also might be aware of the genre thanks to hit movies like Men in Black. What you may not be aware of is how many awesome alien conspiracy theory books are out there.
If you love shadow governments, alien takeovers and clandestine affairs, these books are definitely out of this world.
Sidney Sheldon's The Doomsday Conspiracy is one of the best alien conspiracy theory books for people who want something that seems so realistic, it almost feels plausible. When a "weather balloon" crashes into the Swiss Alps, NSA agent Robert Bellamy is put in charge of tracking down witnesses.
Unfortunately, the mission goes awry, and Bellamy uncovers a massive conspiracy that has sky-high implications. It's sci-fi that builds on a number of classic conspiracy theories, and makes them all juicy enough to want to sink your teeth into.

Thomas E. Bullard's The Myth and Mystery of UFOs is all about asking why so many alien conspiracy science fiction books seem so plausible — and why so many reports continue to get quashed.

George Knapp has a strong following among conspiracy theorists, which is why this science fiction-not-fiction book has become so popular. Hunt for the Skinwalker details the true events of people who spent time on a ranch known for heavy UFO activity.
Along with chilling stories involving creatures from other worlds and potential portals to other dimensions, Hunt for the Skinwalker delves into a number of events that make you wonder how much the US government really knows about UFOs — and why they would want to keep the public unaware.
Though this technically doesn't fit among alien conspiracy science fiction books because it's actually factual, the ample speculation makes it sci-fi enough for our tastes. Ergo, you should read this since it's one of the best conspiracy theory books ever made.
