The only nice thing I can say about this book is that the author gathered a lot of information together, making it a useful reference. However, it is so badly written, I am surprised it got published. The 'honorary PhD' the author is proud to flaunt must have been passed out freely with the cookies and soda pop at the Russian "institute's" latest faculty mixer. The writing style is that of a high school student. I may be doing a disservice to high school students here. The author is also happy to brag of his career in the MUSIC industry in the (thankfully) brief bio section. In other words, he hasn't got the chops to do the research himself. He is simply a gatherer of information and other people's opinions. This is all very well/satisfactory/useful, but if this sentence annoys/bothers/irritates you, you'd best avoid the book. This is the predominant syntax. I warned/cautioned/ you.

There may well be a dark companion star to our sun. However, claims made on Rand's website are just complete nonsense. He claims the tilt of the earth has already moved an additional 23 degrees. If this were so, astronomers around the world would be yelling about it because it would mean the axis of the earth is no longer pointed at Polaris, the north star. He also claims the reason for the tilt is the melting of the ice at the north pole. Excuse me? That has to be one of the most absurd statements coming out of the 2012 movement. The truth is out there, but you won't find it in this book.

I read this book a few months back and was astonished at how poorly it was written. The author was in DESPERATE need of a professional editor, which apparently wasn't a consideration for publishing.

For example, the author has an extremely "annoying" habit of using "quotation marks" around random "terms", for no apparent "reason" or "justification". It is extraordinarily annoying to keep seeing these over and over and over... There are many typos and misspellings as well (the US Navel Academy, anyone?).

No doubt, there is some very interesting information presented here, and it really did help to open my eyes about former catastrophes on planet Earth. There's lot of information about preparing for disaster as well, which makes for a good reference. The final word is that I simply cannot recommend this book to anyone who reads above an eighth-grade level. It's really tough to get through.

Ive read several books on 2012 previously. One evening listened to the author speak concerning this book on a talk radio and became interrested. After recieving this book and began reading I was rather disapointed. The introduction is rather lenghty, with paragraph after paragraph that seemed to continually cover the same information with too many words. Looked at the references the author used and discovered that most of the books listed Ive already read.

Dr. Jaysen Rand answers the doubting skeptics right from the beginning by stating the work is to be informative, speculative, investigative as well as entertaining. He never says it's dead on but something he's pieced together very well and feels these items should be shared for others to contemplate the possibility of. But as for all the nay sayers I see that each one bases their conclusions on pop-popular or outdated, high school scientific "facts". They're referring, of corse, to the "facts" that change daily in this "knowledge shall be increased" world. I'm a scripture believer and have realized a number of years ago that the "mountain falling into the sea" is an astroid. That the "sun going dark as sackcloth" and the "moon turing blood red" as well as the "stars falling from the sky and the Earth rocking like a drunkard" are effects resulting from a very close pass-by of a large heavenly body. Jude 13 even names the exact thing that this wandering brown dwarf is. The fact that the Mayan's predicted the end of the present age to be December of 2012 may not be a mere coinsidence. I think the author has given us a plausible idea that we should all take seriously. The skeptics are simply edging the odds in their favor

Is this the definitive work on Planet X? Does it have ALL the answers and does it take into account ALL the information? Perhaps not. But it is an interesting resource on a very important subject and therefore may be worth taking the time to look at. I am glad I purchased the book. The subject of what might happen in the year 2012 I believe is the most important thing to be investigating, due to the extreme impact of what might occur and the notion that we may still be able to PREPARE for it. I recommend also the work of David Wilcock, Val Valerian, Alex Collier, and Willliam Cooper.

This is a book I think is more like a reference book. I like reading it and comparing it to recent events.
Time will tell....

The topics covered in this book sit squarely in the realm of fantasy. The author demonstrates a shocking lack of knowledge for even the most basic scientific premises surrounding orbital mechanics and planetary interactions. Simply put, a 3600 year period would put these objects in our system literally millions of times since the formation of the Earth, and would have caused great havoc resulting in erratic orbits, the loss of the moon, and probably sterilization of the Earth's surface, and countless other evidence. Contrary to this, our solar system is stable, and well-explained by science without the need for phrophecy and legends. We can currently detect gravitational wobbles in stars, caused by their planets, trillions of miles from us, we would most certainly detect them within our own solar system. And these errors only scratch the surface of what is wrong with this line of reasoning.

This book is a work of fantasy and pure fiction, with just enough truth thrown in to make it seem plausible to the layperson, and is designed to prey on the fears of its readers.

this is a excellent book to read and study for those of us who want some idea, clue as to what may be lurking in our future and how to cope,prepare, and get ready

This is a must read for all. It can help us prepare for this upcoming
disaster. Yet it is the type of read that mades you think that if you
are in the wrong place at the wrong time, well say your prayers, your
leaving this earth. I am still reading it and it makes me sad. But
read it anyway, knowledge is the chance to maybe survive. Joan
