I first heard of Richard C. Hoagland on the late-night radio program Coast to Coast AM. One thing I learned about Hoagland is that he is very focused. When he sets his mind on a thing, he goes after it, and "Dark Mission" is no exception. While I am only about 60% the way through, it has been an exciting venture with lots of photographs.
Speaking of photographs, the two authors, Hoagland and Mike Bara, have different styles of displaying their photographs. Hoagland includes his photographs in line, if you will, while Bara includes his at the end of each chapter. I definitely like Hoagland's way better, but seeing as how Bara is doing most of the writing, most of the photographs are at the end of each chapter, which I find irritating. Rather than continuously flip back and forth, I choose to wait until I get done with each chapter before reviewing the photographs.
One other things about the photographs: While all are labeled, it isn't always easy to find what the labels are depicting, even with appropriately placed arrows, sometimes never finding them. They aren't what I would call crisp, although the originals appear to be, judging by the content where they are mentioned in the book. So, that's kind of a let down. However, some of the other photographs are stunning in what they depict—definitely what appears to be manmade structures or leftovers of structures on the moon. It's hard to figure it any other way.
"Dark Mission" itself is full of intrique and mystery, and the book is well written in that it chronicles Hoagland's research in much detail, as well as the people he has worked with, as well as the stone walling he gets and got from NASA and other organizations, both educational and government, and other people, merely because his ideas 1) are unusual; 2) expose NASA and others' lies; and 3) seek to establish new paradigms which static science of all kinds choose to reject because they muddy up the waters of their own little boxes they choose to remain in.
I had heard much about the Nazi connection with NASA, via Operation Paperclip, particularly Wernher Von Braun, as well as Aleister Crowley, John Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard in relation to some bizarre goings-on in relation to the space program that it was nice to see a detailed account of the actions of these men and how they related to the fledgling space program.
Of course, the book starts out with the Monuments on Mars, which Hoagland had already written about extensively. In fact, his "Dark Mission" research was based on his findings in the Cydonia Complex region of Mars. The surprising thing for me was the tie-in of the Egyptian gods Osiris, Isis and Horus, as well as the Scottish Rites sect of Freemasonry, particularly the 33° level, all of which the book goes into great detail about.
I can't say that I agree with all of Hoagland's conclusions, but then I haen't done the research. But it's always been that way with Hoagland, ever since I've been acquainted with his work. I always looked forward to hearing him on C2C because of what he brings to the table. You never know what to expect, and it's the same with this entertaining read. I look forward to finishing the book. I'd recommend it to anyone who's not afraid to look beyound their own world views and little boxes, for we all live in little boxes. But it's the courageous men and women like Hoagland who stretch their limits beyond their little boxes that make life more interesting.

Excellent book, well documented, high production quality and well written.
Dark Mission is one of my most important books. I've read about 15 to 20 so far in this area: flying saucers, evidence of extraterrestrial life, contact, UFOs etc. What I love about this book is how well it is documented. There are many NASA photos, diagrams, side by side photos, and history. You don't need to read "The Monuments of Mars" before reading this book, but it is nice to have them both. It is a large book. If you need a shorter book, try: "UFOs" by Leslie Kean, it is also an excellent read, but comes at a different topic. Dark Mission is well worth the effort to read cover to cover and Hoagland has an excellent website that goes with his research. His videos are out there too if you want to get an overview of his content. Highly recommended, buy this now and share with friends.
