This is a pretty interesting book. The author, whom I know from my childhood (he is a friend of my mother and gave me his Soldier of Fortune mags when I was a wee lad) has some interesting explanations for the state of affairs today. He believes that he has been a UFO abductee and that the world is run by a conspiracy (or dark brotherhood) of people descended from Atlantean nobility. I don't know if his case is airtight, but it is definitely well presented and argued.

The author has some unconventional beliefs, but he is definitely a sane and intelligent person. Just because I have not experienced paranormal encounters, like the author claims he has, doesn't neccesarily mean that some people do. Even if you don't agree with any of the author's conclusions, you will probably get a kick out of some of his theories. I sure did!

This is one very interesting book. Mr. Stoecker is very ambitious, tracing contemporary illuminati all the way back to legendary Atlantis. Fortunately the author's concise organized style manages to tie all the material together in just under two hundred pages. The author begins with the argument that the global conspiracy began in prehistoric empire that we now call Atlantis. He argues that the elite lie, and have lied to us about the basic nature of reality itself. That UFOs come, not from a distant star system but from basis on Mars, from a civilization originating here on earth long before our history was recorded. The author, Mr. Stoecker, tries, with some success to tie all the ruling classes thru history to one continuing group determined to hang on to power at any cost. It really resonates with me.

This very short, concise book is easy to read. Some of what the author says could be true but unproven. Academically accepted archaeology leaves too many stones unturned and too many holes wide open. I agreed wholeheartedly with this author when he disputed the idea that modern Native American ancestors came across the Bering Sea while it was frozen during one of the ice ages. In fact, his humorous treatment of this was refreshing. The author agrees with many others that ancient people were more sea-faring than academics will consider. His discussion of "Chi" and enlightenment was interesting but naive.

Unfortunately, too much of the book was either paranoid diatribe or deliberate disinformation. His obsession with Clinton grew tedious. Rehashing the Kennedys wore on too long as well. His rambling on about his job losses and psychiatric evaluations did not add to his credibility.

IMHO, there are far better books for the money and I'm sorry I bought it. It's just not as tight as I would have liked. A disappointment and nothing new.

In the light of recent events since this book was published, I would suggest it is worth reading and being given serious consideration.
"Conspiracy theorists" or 'nuts' as portrayed by the media, tend to prefer to be called "truth seekers".
I am a truth seeker, I don't believe anything I haven't experienced, I haven't subscribed to the brain washing media in many years, it is quite an enlightening experience how you view world events, after a few years of abstinence!
Truth from ANY politician or the media... forget it... best you will get is an opinion, likely "bought", or politically correct...
The big question is " do historical events happen by chance / accident?" or are they brought about by the conspiring of politicians and the all powerful elite?... that would make history conspiratorial in nature"
Given the level of corruption in ALL the worlds leaders, and the convenient unfortunate coincidences and untimely demise of certain "key" figures...... I think I've rambled on enough.
THIS IS A GOOD READ. and it might just get you to think outside the box a little!

Maybe it's just because I've already subjected myself to a mountain of conspiracy literature, but it seemed to me that I didn't really find much in here that was actually new (to me). That's not to say that the book itself isn't going to be interesting or helpful to others. What was most interesting to me though, were the discussions of his own life experiences and seeing how those opened him up to new ways of looking at the world around him.

The book isn't very long and so that might make this a good choice for those who are just starting to consider some of the possibilities discussed.

I honestly don't find this man perfectly sane. He mentions few times in the book that he had to go through numerous psychiatric examinations: rather than to draw the obvious conclusion; he is trying to convince us that the entire US government, secret services and ALIENS FROM OUTER SPACE WHO HAPPENED TO LIVE ON ATLANTIS 14 THOUSAND YEARS AGO are trying sabotage his carrier and personal life.
Although very entertaining, this book cannot and should not be taken seriously. A complete waste of money- I strongly advice you to not to buy it.
