Here are some reviews of books I've read recently:
Dead Men's Secrets - Tantalising Hints of a Lost Super Race - 4 Stars
This shakes your understanding of early history
Presented as a collection of short essays followed by a plethora of facts and observations, this book presents an interesting, if not compelling, case that what is taught as history today is not what actually happened. The book is built on the premise that history is in the eye of the beholder and him who controls the narrative. It argues a corollary to that is only facts which support an agenda are presented as history and that facts which don't support the narrative are buried in basements until they are forgotten.
The "history" it weaves from the facts it presents will shake your understanding of what you've been taught and leave you convinced that the whole story of man's existence here on Earth has not been told and even lied about.
The Contact Episode One - 3 Stars
Great idea, needs better development
This book, actually a novella, is the story of first contact of humanity by another extra-terrestrial race.
The style of the book is a little stilted and the author could have done a better job building tension. That said, I didn't mind the read and appreciated the cliff-hanger ending of the book. Would I recommend it? Yes.
I'm looking forward to the next episode. The idea he presents has always been an intriguing one for me. I want to see where he takes the story.
