3.0 out of 5 stars
the description of time ocular,
This review is from: The Home Invaders Confessions of a Cat Burglar (Mass Market Paperback)
Here's a review of Time Ocular;
Archeologists discover a machine buried near the site of the Great Pyramid at Giza, where it was hidden by ancient extraterrestrials many thousands of years ago, and after careful examination it is learned that the machine has the capability of "seeing" into the past. A major struggle ensues between governments who wish to obtain the Time Ocular and the archeologists who found it. Beginning in the region of the middle east, where the Great Pyramid was built, the story moves to Chicago, Illinois, and then Sedona, Arizona, where it is believed by many that the famous Bell Rock is one of the oldest surviving remnants of another ancient pyramid, built long before civilization as we know it ever thrived. The story is woven around the theory of one of the solar systems most profound and catastrophic events, when Jupiter was struck by a massive comet that ripped a chuck of the great planet from its body and sent it into orbit around the Sun between the Earth and Mercury, forming the newest planet, Venus. It describes the destruction of the surface of Mars as the newly formed planet passed, bombarding Mars with mountain sized pieces of itself and explaining why that planet suddenly died and how some of Mars' survivors managed to escape and make Earth their home. Does that sound anything like what the Home Invaders, a book about a thief, would be about. I'm thinking it was not plagiarized, at least not in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Real Author of this Book Was Plagiarized,
By Joe Gaggs (Chicago, IL.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Home Invaders: Confessions of a Cat Burglar (Hardcover)
The original version of The Home Invaders was titiled The Thief, and oddly enough was the book based on Michael Mann's
blockbuster film, THIEF staring James Caan and Tuesday Weld. The real Author, Joe Wolfe, author of TIME OCULAR, wrote The Thief on 1971. In 1975 the book, almost completely unchanged except for a few words and phrases, was published by a relatively new publishing company in Chicago. Subsequently, in 1981 Michael Mann aquired it and produced the film. To this day, credit for the work has not yet been rightfully attributed to Wolfe, and new linguist forensic efforts are currently being applied to compare the writer's unique style. Signature phrases in the plagiarized version, The Home Invaders, were overlooked and remain [even in the film] and prove beyond a shadow of doubt. that Joe Wolfe is the real author.
