 So much-So little August 29, 2008
1 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've been reading this book for awhile now I have to say the author says a great deal but what he writes is empty. Many passages with references to ancient texts and myths and yet for a volume filled with speculation about cosmic war and epic battles, it fails to spark my interest, like opening a box of tastey cookies only to find they are horribly stale.
 interplanetary war in our solar system May 4, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
In this book, Farrell turns his considerable investigative talents to the problem of the Cosmic War in ancient texts, and what impact it had on our planet and history.
He approaches the subject with his usual depth of detail, meticulous methods, and logic. He examines ancient myths and legends from many lands in connection with current knowledge of space science and physics, in the context of his previous books and research into the pyramids, the Exploded Planet hypothesis, and advanced alternative physics. He investigates anomalies on Mars, our Moon (and other moons and planets), revelations from research into hidden aspects of the space program, and other related topics.
This book is rich with research and citations, as are all his books, and he makes a strong case for his hypothesis that there was once a great war in our solar system, and our planet and ancient myths and legends preserve the story of that time (albeit in a confusing, severely degraded and distorted form). Our understanding of our history, and even who we are, is greatly changed by this knowledge.
It is a fascinating read, full of interesting information, well cited as usual for Farrell. Although not my favorite of his books, it is filled with tremendous insight and is very much worth having.
I recommend all of Farrell's books.
Plenty of Juice for the Serious Researcher May 3, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
A rich conpemdium for both the scientific mind and lovers of history. Abundance of facts, useful chronology, intelligent analyses, plenty of material to sink your teeth in. A serious work, no question asked. Will this remarkable book convince the ordinary minds? No. But it will incite them to question many vital things surrounding their world. Highly recommended! Buy a copy for sure!

In this book you will visit the two ends of the spectrum. The past and the present, even the future. A very important analogy study in depth. Read this book, you will learn something. I enjoyed reading it.
 Well argued content; shame about the editing April 30, 2008
37 out of 42 found this review helpful
Everyone else before me has rated this 5 stars and to be honest, the content is good enough to warrant a top rating. The author has built a reasoned argument using earlier work by such non-conformist, alternative-knowledge and unconventional writers like Velikovsky (Worlds in Collision) Bruce Rux (Architects of the Underworld) and Zecharia Sitchin (Earth Chronicles)to present a theory about how the solar system evolved, the origin of the moon as possibly an artificial satellite and the planetary-scale wars between "gods'' that led to planets being destroyed. All maybe far-fetched if you're not used to this sort of thing but if you keep an open mind, it's all good stuff. The science might be difficult for some to follow, especially since it involves knowledge of physics. Still, even if you aren't scientifically inclined, you'd still be able to learn something from this thought-provoking book. But what annoyed me continuously throughout was the poor editing - this book is filled with spelling and punctuation errors. Worse, the author relies heavily on a seminal work on ancient knowledge and precession called Hamlet's Mill by De Santillana and Von Dechend but mis-spells the latter's name in more than a dozen mentions as Von Dechind. I wonder how he would feel if another researcher were to use his texts as a springboard for their own work and consistently mis-spelled his name as Farel or Faril or Furell. Yes I know I'm being picky but "suppose you red a book in which some words were often wrongly speled or ifthe spacings or punctuations were omitted, wouldn't it irritate you? Minus two stars then for the annoyance factor.
