Capture, Amanda Lohrey’s 10th book, is an odd beast. It follows sexagenarian Dr James “Jim” Mather, a clinical psychiatrist who is persuaded by a colleague to take on a new cohort of patients. The commonality between them all is that each one claims to have been abducted by aliens. Mather is tasked with finding a behavioural pattern among these disparate individuals to provide a psychological assessment of the “experiencers”, as he calls them.
