Summary: Excellent "ostensibly true" autobiography ("victim" story)
Review: David Morehouse comes across as a modern day shaman, Jedi Warrior wannabe. His stories are fantastic and well told, but researching the background of his tale leaves MUCH ROOM FOR THE TRUTH, important parts of which, quite frankly, I think Mr. Morehouse appears to have deliberately left out of his book. Still, all in all, a very good read. For example, Mr. Morehouse DOES NOT TALK ABOUT HIS "PSYCHIC WARRIOR" HOLLYWOOD MOVIE DEAL!! Why not? If I may speculate, I think that's because it would taint his motives. Also, Mr. Morehouse does not even come close to relating the REAL BACKGROUND to the Stargate program. A much better, well written, and believable account can be found in "REMOTE VIEWERS: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies" by Jim Schnabel, ISBN 0-440-22306-7. Pages 350-353 and 383-386 of Mr. Schnabel's book give a quick "snapshot" of Mr. Morehouse's involvement in Stargate, and HIS PURSUIT OF OUTSIDE INTERESTS while he was being paid to be a full-time Army Officer. If you want a good, well-told yarn -- which you should take with a BIG GRAIN OF SALT -- read "Psychic Warrior". It's a lot of fun. If you want solid information, read Schnabel's book, "Remote Viewers". If you want balanced truth (i.e., well-researched journalism), adventure, and thrills, read both.

Summary: Author's terrifying experience with CIA psych program
Review: PSYCHIC WARRIOR was a gift to me less than 24 hours ago. I read it non-stop. As a wordsmith, it has left me wordless. This detailed account by author David Morehouse denudes the top secret psychic warfare operation STARGATE. The story was so riveting, any kind of citicism of the author's writing style is non-existent. Morehouse was chosen for STARGATE after reporting visions that haunted him following a stray bullet that lodged in his helmet during exercises training Jordanian rangers. (At this point in the story, I was wondering why we would be helping a potential enemy of a friend - Israel). His book goes on to recount how he was manipulated into the program and trained to use his mind to penetrate and control the thoughts or plans of individuals or groups. Realizing the evil intentions of the government, Morehouse made a decision to expose the program. But getting out of the moral sewer was no easy task. In retaliation for his going public, his tires were sabotaged, causing a blow out on a freeway; his marriage nearly disintegrated, he received threatening phone calls, his phone was tapped, and he was labeled psychotic and dillusional. Forced into psychiatric care at government hospitals, he was drugged with Halcion and Prozac. As is often the case, these drugs induced suicidal thoughts. Of course, he was forced out of the Army with a less than honorable discharge, despite his impeccable career prior to STARGATE. Then, he, his wife, and children were mysteriously overcome by carbon monoxide poisoning in their home. In PSYCHIC WARRIOR, David Morehouse offers a case that graphically illustrates one of the many reasons the evils of psychiatry and intelligence need to be eradicated from our society. So far, neither Congress, the FBI, nor the Pentagon, has yet been able to obtain control of the intelligence community. In words from the book, the CIA continues to work as "the biggest assembly of liars and thieves this country ever put under one roof, and they are an abomination". I expect severe criticism of PSYCHIC WARRIOR by the intelligence and psyciatric communites, due to their vested interests. I also anticipate that some people outside the government arena will find PSYCHIC WARRIOR difficult to believe. However, I personally accept Morehouse's account of unconstitutional, illegal actions by the CIA to be true.

Summary: A must read book
Review: This is an eye opening look at what has been referred to as "astral projection" or "out of body experiences". For those who have doubted, this book will change your mind and the way you look at the government forever! Remote viewing is described as never before! A true description of how the government can change you life forever.

Summary: The truth is out there!
Review: I met this guy once when he briefed Generals Owen and Soyster. He doesn't know me--I sat in the back of the room out of curiosity. I was told that he had come to the intelligence community from the Ranger Battalion and I was perversely interested in what he had to say about the intelligence community he was now part of. I recently retired as a Lieutenant Colonel, and I think I speak with some degree of credibility about this man and what he endured while in the "community." This young man was highly regarded as an extreme professional while serving in INSCOM. He was obviously "not necessarily a whistle blower" but most assuredly opinionated about what he witnessed and participated in. HE was respected, but he didn't belong in the intelligence community--in fact, it was well know that he hated it. I've read his book several times now, and I highy recommend it to friends and colleagues. I found it extreamly well written, frightening and eye opening. If you want to know what the inner world of the military intelligence community and the CIA is like, then read this account. I've never been able to put it down. Damn the cowards who attack him. Most of them I know or have heard of and they are no match or measure for his character. Morehouse brought a very controversial top secret program out of the dark. If he hadn't made the sacrifices he did, all the insects who are now crawling out of the woodwork claiming to be "remote viewers" would never have been seen or heard of. Read the book and see for yourself.

Summary: Facinating and life changing!!!
Review: Without doubt the most thought provoking and life changing book I've ever read. Damn the critics "me thinks they protest too much" this guy is for real. If you know anything about remote viewing--then you can credit Morehouse with breaking the log-jam. If it weren't for this book, remote viewing would still be a goverment secret. To hell with those who sell him short, this guy is a real hero in my book. I've never read anything so facinating and real. I wish I could meet him. I heard him speak before 2,000 people in Yelm, Washington--you should have seen it. He held us in his hands, warmed us, made us feel his soul, and lifted us to a higher plane. Wonderful book, wonderful man.

Summary: eyepopping account of the psychic spy program
Review: I am in training to be a remote viewer and I welcomed this account. Many of us consider the account over dramatized and written for Hollywood. Nevertheless, Morehouse is a good writer and is very entertaining. The fact of his adventures are somewhat suspect, but the meat of it is very excitin

Summary: Highly emotional, spiritual and thought provoking.
Review: I was a private assigned to Company C, 1st Ranger Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment. My platoon was attached to Captain Morehouse's company while in the Kingdom of Jordan and reading his account of our exercises and the training conducted there brought back chilling memories. The author was a courageous commander, respected by his men, his noncommissioned officers and his officers. His prowess as a trainer and commander are still the subject of conversation in the Regiment. I loved this book because I know the man who wrote it and I know of his values and ethics. What amazed me was his transformation from warrior to poet. I couldn't read his work without a tear in my eye. I only wish he'd write more. I believe in this book

Summary: A real warrior,or just a nervous break-down coward?
Review: Poor writing technique with lot of grammatical errors, couldn't believe it was written by a PHD. Hollow and superfluous craps like a lukemia case. I could only find that D.M. could not stand the heat of a war game training, and just tried everyway to bail out of the kitchen. The whole story got nothing to do with CIA but DIA, and then used a movies' title STARGATE to fool people to buy it. I did try to read along and tried to get something out of nothing, but sorry, no cigar! This is another typical example of non-fiction book written by some mediocre guy with actually nothing to say but trying to use shocking title to con people to buy it. I just saw a guy who was absolutely no warrior with no psychic power at all, but a nervous break-down chicken-out coward, still shamelessly to use his failed two years training to make a miserable con artist living, just like the "MANHUNTER" author, a convicted felon still trying to convince himself to be a hero. I could only have one word of this book:"A COWARD W

Summary: The most honest book I've seen from a Spy in years.
Review: David Morehouse out ran his peers in virtually everything he did in the military (see article by Len Belzer). Phsmith below--was the man who threatened Morehouse and his wife in the hospital at Walter Reed Army Medical center (what kind of review would you expect him to give? While I've never met the former Major Morehouse in person, I've read his book cover to cover three times, and I've listened to him on numerous radio interviews. If you want truth from a man who isn't hiding behind a security clearance--he's the one. Read this book and learn to love it as I have

Summary: An entertaining, if inaccurate account of remote viewing
Review: "Psychic Warrior" is admittedly an easy-to-read and entertaining account (even if the writing is a bit formulaic and riddled with trivial textual errors). And it accomplished its primary goal: to sell itself to Hollywood. But unfortunately it is also a highly inaccurate portrayal of the remote viewing process and its history within the U.S. government. A much better (and, ironically, less-expensive) book is Jim Schnabel's "Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies" (also available from Amazon)
