1.0 out of 5 stars File Under Fiction, 2 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I got this book on the strength of 'Dark moon' expecting a factual book containing the hard science behind the claims made in the latter half of 'Dark Moon' - alternative propulsion systems, geometry, and gravity. It is nothing of the sort.

This really should have been sold as a science fiction book as the ideas are very good however it is written in a very tedious way often mentioning numbers to n decimal points - possibly to re-inforce that it is a "factual" account. It is asking a lot of people in this day and age to simply believe the content - more questions are raised than evidence is provided. One might as well believe in fairy tales.

If the author really wanted to "infuse" (an often used word in the text) people with these ideas would it have not been more effective and certainly more entertaining if it were written as a no-holds barred SF classic?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tour de Force!, 23 Aug 2009
By Mr. Graham Harris (Brive la Gaillarde, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Two-Thirds : A History of our Galaxy (Hardcover)
This book is an extraordinary, and enlightening, voyage through the annals of creation. It is written in a captivating, detailed and compelling format. The contents of the book emerge in what can be construed, at one level, as a science fiction story of epic dimensions. Indeed the book is a thoroughly good read on that level alone. It is, however, far more! It is in the great tradition of Swift and others who wrote on numerous levels. The reader is constantly given clues, both explicit and implicit, that engender a powerful urge to think about the deeper significance of what is disclosed and to evaluate the information and detail given in the light of historical and mythological records.

As the story unfolds, and links are made with factual sources and esoteric writings, so the reader is stimulated to embark upon a veritable tidal wave of exploration and intellectual challenge. The need is to engage with and to delve deeply into ancient texts and modern philosophical thought in order to set the unfolding tapestry of knowledge in a meaningful paradigm.

The realisation begins to dawn that what we have been taught in contemporary education as epistemological orthodoxy is not entirely derived from either Empiricism or Rationalism. Instead, the nature and purpose of the contemporary educational process is fundamentally one of obfuscation to further political and religious ends and to deny the dissemination of profound revelations.

This is a challenging book. It is an important book that should be widely read.

The authors are to be congratulated on their prodigious achievement.
