"After reading 'The Atlantis Blueprint', 'Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings', 'When the Sky Fell' and 'The Giza Power Plant', I was really (and I mean really) disappointed by this book. It starts out by giving an adequate summary of the data presented by others so far, and then goes into overdrive by throwing a fit of uncontrolled imagination. Going from here to there in gigantic leaps (of faith) and misrepresenting basic knowledge of physics and biology (I mean the author really doesn't understand evolution at all - and he would do very good to read the wonderful 'The Ancestors Tale' by Richard Dawkins). It was a frustrating read, leaving me to wonder wether I should contact the author and tell him that he has formally "gone over the edge" and in my opinion is an official part of the "lunatic fringe". But on the other hand..., why bother... Do yourself a favor, don't buy this book..."
"Not bad, but not great either. It seems to me most all of the book was repetitive. There were some good parts that I enjoyed, but overall somewhat disappointing."
