 Interesting December 9, 2007
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Is a iteresting book about some suspicius facts that ocour during the WWII and the years after, showing a lot of proofs that the germans already have the atomic bomb and other weapons, before the end og war. The autor also give some interesting arguments about technologies that were developed by the Nazi germans, that until now whe don't know how they achieve them.
 Intriguing but ultimately disappointing April 5, 2007

According to the author's preface, "This is not a work of history. But neither is it a work merely of fiction." Unfortunately, it would have been much more entertaining had it been a work of fiction by any decent thriller writer.
The first part of the book argues that the Nazis had multiple functional atomic bombs in 1944-45, the capture of which was the main reason for the success of the Manhattan Project. This is an intriguing premise and plausible enough if you don't worry overmuch about the author's heavy reliance on secondary sources (including a manuscript published only on the Internet), and if you are willing to overlook some very tenuous chains of reasoning. For example, the author describes several conflicting accounts of the death of a highly placed SS officer allegedly in charge of Nazi secret weapons research: "No one, no where can advance anything like a consistent account of the date, location, time, or even method of Kammler's death... In all likelihood, therefore, Kammler did not die at all..."
Still, you may be able to maintain your suspension of disbelief until you get into part 2, which concerns Nazi experimentation with flying saucers, "quantum numerology", "vorticular physics", and other -- let us say -- unconventional areas of research. Of course, it is entirely possible that some Nazis did investigate these areas, but to treat them seriously only undermines the credibility, such as it is, of the arguments presented in the first part. Part 3 goes downhill even faster as it attempts to link the alleged UFO crashes in Roswell with secret Nazi research projects.
I give the author full marks for foreshadowing and hinting at vast dark secrets to be revealed. Unfortunately (perhaps inevitably), the actual revelations are rather anticlimactic, since they are bound to strike anyone but another conspiracy theorist as just plain silly. Still, I could see the seeds for half a dozen adventure novels in this book. Perhaps one day someone will write one.

I found the book to be very readable and full of references to documentation supporting to the hypotheses. I imagine that at some point in time in the future, the author may need to do another book to "update" us on material as it is released from various governments. As others have mentioned, there are typos, from the printer,not proofing, before printing. However, I found that the typos did not cause any difficulties in reading it. Overall the author proposes several well researched hypotheses, and presents them well.
Utter Nonsense June 6, 2006

Besides the constant typos, the complete lack of proofreading there is the obvious fabrication of "facts", like the giant air field with 40 huge Heinkel bombers waiting to bomb New York. A friend in Norway who is also a WW2 affectionato tells me there never was an airfield like that, nor anything bigger than FW 200's stationed there. The "scientific" speculation toward the end of the book is laughable. Save your money and buy something with some credibility.
Who proofread this book?? November 25, 2005

To being with, who proofread this book? There are typos on virtually every page. It is very distracting to read text like this. When I see this I wonder if the author really knows how to spell. There are some intriguing ideas in this book but most of the topics have been covered elsewhere, and by far better writers. Three stars for effort.
