Is everything you know wrong...?, June 10, 1998
This review is from: Montauk Revisited: Adventures in Synchronicity (The Montauk, Book 2) (Paperback)
One gets breathless reading, for what could well be, a well-written science fiction story: an episode of THE OUTER LIMITS; One then wonders-chicken or egg? Did these events inspire fiction as they leaked out, or did the TV show inspire the author. Written in such a matter-of-fact style, that one is easily sucked into the proceedings... Totally fraudulant fiction, or secret research on the edge of forever...? Next to the PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT, the MONTAUK PROJECT is fast becoming as well known, and even if partly true, is bone chilling;

I have heard other authors speak of government experiments on youth, November 13, 2005
This review is from: Montauk Revisited: Adventures in Synchronicity (The Montauk, Book 2) (Paperback)
I think this was a fascinating book related to the mysterious Montauk experiments.
Some people question the story of secret government paranormal experiments using children but I have heard about such things in other sources including but not limited to America's Keenest City by Mongo.
It makes me wonder if there is any truth to it? I sure don't put it past the government with all the things they have been up to.
They do seem to have common elements.

Reveals Montauk info...but does it really?, February 2, 2009
This review is from: Montauk Revisited: Adventures in Synchronicity (The Montauk, Book 2) (Paperback)
Interesting, and good starting point for each of the topics included in its diverse chapters, somehow all loosely connected, I suppose, via this "synchronicity" Nichols experiences, though I thought the synchronicity no more remarkable than strings of connections I've experienced a few times in my own life. I'd consider it more a jumping off point for anyone more seriously interested in the topics offered.
I found it a bit irritating that Nichols' attitude seemed to be a naive awe about his 'adventures.' Players (human and otherwise) and the havoc they wreak in recklessly dabbling with occult powers, such as boys being apparently 'taken' somehow during the seventies for mind-control experiments at Montauk; the Philadelphia Experiment, that left men dead or otherwise permanently damaged; and the dark activities of Crowley should instead arouse outrage, or at least a critical opinion. Blind awe at the 'marvels' of science and occult activity, with no moral judgments about their affects simply has no place in this day and age. We've been aware for decades of the dark uses that technology has been put to, and any thoughtful inquirer knows that only a tip of the dark iceberg is generally revealed to the masses. Nichols being so close to these subjects, and yet portraying such naivety is quite suspicious.
The character 'Stan Campbell' refers to Stewart Swerdlow (who has since told his own story) and tells of his severe mind-control abuse, and his training to become a programmer of others; and his years of efforts to cleanse himself of the trauma.
