1.0 out of 5 stars A sieve-like theory on humanity's extraterrestrial origins, 26 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Martian Genesis: Extraterrestrial Origins of the Human Race (Hardcover)
Ever since 1976 and the Viking space probe's grainy images of the so called 'face' on Mars, theories have abounded on the possibility of the existence of an ancient, highly advanced civilisation somewhere within our solar system in the very distant past. The face, along with other supposed artificial Martian constructs, are physical evidence of just such a civilisation, according to the proponents of this rather controversial theory. However, what has tempered the sceptism and outright disbelief of such an outlandish subject, has been the incredibly well-researched and lucidly presented work of men such as Richard Hoagland and Graham Hancock. They make you question.

Which brings us to the latest author throwing his hat into the ever increasing pile of theorists, and 'Martian Genesis'. Unfortunately it is quickly forgotten. The initial reaction is physically how thin the book is. At 216 pages including the index, it's an incredibly short volume for one that purports to be an 'in-depth survey'. The next feature that stands out is the lack of a bibliography. Oh dear. Is the reader expected to blindly believe everything the author writes without being able to verify his source material? And it pretty much goes downhill from there. Without the aid of said source material it becomes very difficult to take anything he says without a very large pinch of salt. He jumps from one theory to the next, giving examples of ancient artifacts and ruins that he claims are far older than the general scientific consensus, and that if you put enough of these so called anomalies together it says that either man has been around on this planet far longer than is the conventional wisdom (and apparently the evidence doesn't support this), or we are evolved from an ancient civilisation that was not of this world. But where is his source material for such staggering claims?! How did he reach these amazing conclusions?! He states so-called facts, but unless the reader is already well read on the subject of ancient civilisations, he has to, for the most part, take the author at face value, which is just not acceptable for a book of this nature dealing with such a controversial subject.

Couple this with a sparse, disjointed writing style, chapters broken down into sub-chapters that vary in length from a couple of pages to a couple of lines and that have no natural progression into one another, and you have a badly written book that cynically tries to cash in on the good work of those researchers who have come before.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Clear, Concise, Step-By-Step Wonder of a Book, 10 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Martian Genesis: Extraterrestrial Origins of the Human Race (Hardcover)
An incredible read. The book takes you ste by step through all the evidence, every chapter revealing a new treasure, and finally all these ideas come together to create a marvellous, fully thought-out theory as to the origins of life and civilization on Earth.
