Summary: No supporting literature or evidence
Review: This has to be one of the worst researched books written in this genre. The author makes claim after claim without backing up anything with literature or some kind of evidence. Even a fan of the speculation/science genre will find this book lacking of any basis for it's theories.

Summary: Good read
Review: This was a good, quick read on a subject that I doubt many people have heard about. It has the feel of a real-life Umberto Eco mystery, full of esoteric possibilities. About half the book deals with Father Ernetti, and the other half deals with related subjects such as Blavastky, Cayce, and Rudolf Steiner. I think Europeans might be more familar with this story than Americans.

Summary: an interesting story, but i haven't the stomach for it
Review: When I purchased this book, I expected to read a trestise on the myth shrouded tale of a priest building a time machine and how the authors had delved deep into this issue to prove or disproveit, or maybe just offer facts to the general public. Instead, the tale was told, the authors speculated, then left the scope of the book entirely and gave mini-bios on half a dozen of other characters in some negligible way related to the subject of this book. Then, for no reason save for his own mortality, Father Ernetti dies and claims the whole story was false. Quite disappointing, even if it adds some credibility to the authors.One of the more irritating aspects of this work, and this shows up in many semi-mystical texts, is the assumption that just because some squallid ancient race believed some crazy thing that, on the conceptual level at least, resembles some theory of modern science; that doesn't mean that they were right and that all of their "sutras" should be believed and their other theories should even be CONSIDERED as truth. Perhaps these are merely the ramblings of a disgruntled customer, or perhaps some of its continuity was lost in translation. Either way, I would recommend picking this one up at your local library (they still exist!) but definitely not worth the money.
