Summary: Huh?
Comment: After reading "The Mothman Prophecies" (New Edition), I quickly became a fan of John A. Keel. After waiting 5 weeks for this book to come in, I still don't think I know what it's about.
There really is no plot (just as in The Mothman Prophecies), just information. But it completely unorganized. He jumps around in time frames like you wouldn't believe! One minute, you're in the 1970's, the next you're in 200BC, the next you're in 450AD, the next, you're in Jesus' years.
I do think that the book is about UFO's, underground societies, superhumans, etc. Don't be fooled, I thought this book would be about ghosts, but it totally isn't.
One irritating thing that I can't get over, is the constant recurrance of "our haunted planet" used in the book. It's the first time I'd ever heard the title phrase used more than once in the acutal book, and I think I've heard it 10 times in there. John, we know what the title is, you don't have to keep repeating it.
A good book to go along with this one is "Children of the Matrix" by David Icke. It also talks about the Illunimati (too hard to explain, you'll have to read them both).
But, like I said, there's a lot of information, just no structure or plot. That kind of bothers me. Make sure you're taking notes when reading *ANY* of Keel's books, or you'll never get it!!

Summary: Logical, precise and undemanding
Comment: I'll not boire you with the content - that's simple enough to deduce. John A. Keel has penned a worthy addition to his other works. He says at the outset that he draws no conclusions - he simply throws up his ideas for discussion.
In fact that's a neat start but, by the end of the book, it's very obvious that he's blasted apart a load of myths, sunk the Lovers of Atlantis, and mystified the Men from Mars. And it was all done so neatly!
Keel is logical (I like that). He offers evidence of his observations (I like that). He shows the flaws in other theories (I like that). He's written a great book (I like that!).
Get it. Read it. You'll like it too.

Summary: Is this a first draft?
Comment: The content itself was very interesting.
The entire book is short chapters of journal notes with the occasional splash of commentary thrown in.
Badly written, poorly organized.
He could have at least organized it chronologically.
The constant way of making himself out to be some sort of
superhero got very annoying very quickly.
