Hi there.
Am desperately looking for a book written by Erich Von Daniken which has a fictional story at the beginning. I know it's not Chariots of the Gods... I read it about 5 years ago and can't remember which one it is. I am looking to adapt the short-story into a short screenplay.
If anyone has any advice on which particular book it is I am looking for it would be greatly appreciated.
I have been searching second hand bookstores but not having any luck.
Best regards,
Kamala (Sydney, Australia)

Eye's of the Sphinx perhaps? http://www.ufoevidence.org/books/book60.htm
That's a toughie, most of Daniken's work was fiction. 
You'll need to be a bit more specific as to the premise of his 'story', all of his theories have some sort of imaginative and sensationalistic scenario behind them.

Däniken is interesting IMO. I'm not saying he's 100% correct, but there are some good points. Specially concerning simular images/buildings/beliefs all across the world when there was no known contact between the different civilizations.

Excuse me, why would his works be ficticious? In fact they are based on archeological-scientific proof..in my opinion he is a great researcher.
The particular story I am after is fictional - any of EVD's other work is research attempting to establish fact.
I found the book via a query on EVD's website - it's Return of The Gods.
The 'fictional' story is at the beginning - well worth a read!

Apparently you are not aware of EVD's previous ties with forgery and fraud?
Quoted from his Wikipedia article:
QUOTE
Von Däniken first appeared before a magistrate while still a boy, charged with stealing money from the Boy Scouts. In the early 1960s, in his mid-20s, he was convicted of defrauding the hotel where he worked and also petty theft, for which he was fined.
In 1967, at the age of 32, Von Däniken was convicted of a large scale embezzlement, forgery and tax evasion, and spent three and half years in prison. During his time in prison he wrote his second book, Gods from Outer Space (published in 1970).
Von Däniken personally denies any accusation of wrongdoing, claiming for example that the conviction leading to his imprisonment was the result of a conspiracy against him by members of the Catholic hierarchy in Switzerland, intended to discredit his theories.
Von Däniken has also used photographs of pottery depicting UFOs, claiming that the pottery came from an archaeological dig and dated to biblical times. The television series Nova determined that this was a fraud and located the potter who actually made the pots in question. When confronted with this evidence, Von Däniken argued that the deception was justified because some people would only believe his theories if they saw proof.

Trustworthy fellow. It sure doesn't seem like he'd make things up for money or anything.
He even has his own theme park, for crying out loud.
Hi, Kamala. My name is Eduardo. I am writing you from Brazil. Sorry for my poor english. I am close friend of Erich (von Daniken) since 1970. He wrote more than 30 books. Can't remember which one you are talking about. Did you try his own site www.daniken.com ?
Well, he wrote the preface of my first book (just stated the third) and it's about an amazing mistery in RIO DE JANEIRO. I can PROOF that. I am also looking for someone who can make a "movie" about it, I mean, a screenplay is welcome too. All this in order I can follow with my third book. Take a look on the cover of my first book (www.mensagemdosdeuses.com.br) and you will understand what I mean, if you ever have heard about a rock names SUGAR LOAF in Rio de Janeiro. I know I did not help but we can keep on trying to find the book you are looking for if you are not interested in Rio's ancient history.
