The Dragon's Tail: Rediscovering the Tenth Planet [Paperback]

Anthony Austin (Author), Brian Crowley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2000

"The Dragon's Tail" was first issued by Illuminet Press of Ga, USA in 2000, but due to the decease of the publisher, the run was very short. The book was republished by Black Rabbit Press of West Sussex, UK in 2010 using virtually the same cover. It concerns the repetitive passage of a cosmic object close to Earth which occurs every 892 years. The next passage will be in 2115, heralding the demise of civilisation as we know it. Many historical examples of the chaos caused are given using eyewitness accounts, some of which were published in 2000 for the first time. Many charts and tables are provided. A critic said that this book was written with "relentless precision". Only one of the two authors, Mr Austin, is still alive. Contact [phone] or [e-mail] Copies are free to reviewers and as wholesaler's samples from the UK or USA.

2.0 out of 5 stars Waggin' the Dragon, June 23, 2001

By 

Holy Olio "holy_olio" (Grand Rapids, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Dragon's Tail: Rediscovering the Tenth Planet (Paperback)

__________________

Where have we heard about an additional planet, unknown to astronomers? In Sitchin of course. What about planets on cometary orbits? Baillie, Clube/Napier, Velikovsky, and other scholars, as well as Sitchin. What about periodic and predictable celestial chaos? LaViolette, Sitchin, Baillie, Clube/Napier...

The author claims that a tenth planet whistles on past the other planets at 892 year intervals, meaning that the most recent pass was no longer ago than 1109 AD, and has happened at least twice since Julius Caesar was a boy. This book may be worth reading, but not at this price. Try the local library, and if not found, ask them to purchase it for the lending collection.

This review is from: The Dragon's Tail: Rediscovering the Tenth Planet (Paperback)

Dear Friends:

The Dragon's Tail is out of print since the death of the publisher, Mr Ron Bonds.

The copyright has reverted to the

authors, Mr Anthony Austin and Mr Brian Crowley. Any new

printing of this title is illegal and may be the subject of

legal proceedings. However, the book was reissued by Black Rabbit Press as

'Draco: The Tenth Planet' in 2003 with some

necessary corrections including the insertion of several pages

missing in the original. The text has not been altered except

where essential, as for instance a few incorrect calculations.

The intended purchaser of this text is therefore advised to

search Amazon in the US or UK for 'Draco: the Tenth Planet'

where the book is readily available on demand. If not found then contact the publisher: Black Rabbit Press, 15 Homewood,

Findon, UK, BN14 0XA. This new version is printed by Lightning

Source in the UK and USA on demand on orders down to and including a single copy.

Regarding the predictions printed in 2000, these have not been

altered in any way. The original stated that a tenth planet

would be found at 92.7 AU average distance and astronomers

have indeed discovered a tenth planet at 97 AU (approx) along with a few others belonging to the so-called Kuiper Belt.

This represents more than a guess.

Regarding our 'agenda' for the 21st century, this has so far

proved correct in every respect; notably our insistence that

Africa would be depopulated which has been unfortunately proved

to be true. This has been caused by disease and warfare

combined with a reluctance on the part of the 'west' to do

anything except to permit a regular and increasing supply

of arms, carried by children as young as eight. Climate

change will do the rest, leaving an empty continent that

will only be repopulated come the new Ice Age.

In distinction to current fears of global warming, the authors

say that the world will suddenly be plunged into the deep

freeze starting in 2115, which may not seem to matter to

anyone alive today, but is nevertheless being planned for by

those whose descendants will expect to rule the world in the

22nd century. At that time, Africa will become a food basket

for the frozen north. Everything said is quite logical given

a scenario where an overdue ice age suddenly plunges humanity

into survival mode where 99% of the peak population of 8.3

billion people are wiped out.

Maybe you don't care. Fair enough. Go back to watching the

dumbed down TV and wait until the seas rise beyond your ken.

Never do anything until it is too late and then blame it all

on God.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the dustjacket, September 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Dragon's Tail: Rediscovering the Tenth Planet (Paperback)

You are holding in your hands what may prove to be the definitive casebook of humanity, reaching back some 15,000 years into the past and now made accessible by the researches of a diverse pair of lay scholars. Evidence presented here from history, science and astronomy reveals that earth undergoes dramatic climatic changes at 892 year intervals, creating a universal disaster of doomsday proportions.

The massive wave of extinctions that occurred around 15,000 years ago in the animal kingdom, the sinking of Plato's Atlantis, the voyage of Noah's Ark, the plagues that beset Egypt at the time of the Exodus, and even the Little Ice Age of the 13th century, may all have a common cause - a rogue tenth planet (we call Draco) in our Solar System. This is the outermost planet of the Solar System, orbiting the Sun only once in 892 years.

Draco caused the destruction of the planet that once orbited between Mars and Jupiter, and it still cuts through the plane of the asteroids, creating more new comets and Earth-crossing asteroids every time it visits us. When it passes by, a great shower of dust cools our climate!

Draco will sweep by Earth again in the year 2115! The real countdown to doomsday can now begin!
