ABDUCTION TO THE 9th PLANET by Michel Desmarquet Published by Arafura Publishing (1993), eeltourne, Victoria, Australia ISBN 0-646-15996-8 Price: AUD$16.95 (181 pp, p/b) Available: Distributed by Spectrum Access, PO Box 1241, Toowong Qld 4066, Australia, phone (07) 870 0055, to discerning bookstores.

I usually read this type of book to find out what sort of message the aliens are trying to get across to us, and to find out what, if anything, the aliens say about the history of the Earth and their involvement with it. Here the aliens are saying (again): stop killing, love each other, stop destroying the Mother Earth. In a nutshell, they out- line the ‘colonisation’ of Earth by various extraterrestrials way back in days gone by. It is all very interesting but J end up think- ing: this is yet another story about the Earth, which in many ways contradicts all the other ‘abductee' stories about the histo- ry of the Earth—which one do I believe, if any? While I certainly do not deny the reality of the experience for the author, I grew somewhat sceptical when these supposed- ly hi-tech, high-love beings calmly blew away some Neanderthals with ray guns. I mean, why not just paralyse them for a while—why kill them? Anyway, this book is currently roaring up the ‘top ten’ of UFO/channelling cir- cles, and I'm sure you'll hear a lot more about it. FORBIDDEN ARCHEOLOGY The Hidden History of the Human Race by Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson Published by Govardhan Hill Publishing (1993), PO Box 52, Badger, CA, 93603, USA; phone (209) 337 2828, fax (209) 337 2354 ISBN 0-9635309-8-4 Price: USD$39.95 (914pp, h/c). When a scientific theory gathers the sta- tus of a dogma, the possibilities of new research being conducted in that area, and the room for new theories on the matter, become severely restricted. Those who try to break through such barriers run the risk of castigation and prejudice. Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson are therefore to be congratulated on spending eight years producing the only definitive, precise, exhaustive and com- plete record of practically all the fossil finds of man, regardless of whether they fit the established scientific theories or not. Forbidden Archeology takes us through so many anomalies of fossil man. If only one human fossil or artefact of the 50 or EMPTY WAS MY HOUSE by Shirley Thomson Published by Literary Mouse Press, (1994), PO Box 627, Kalamunda WA 6076; phone/fax (09) 291 7651 NEXUS #67 APRIL - MAY 1994
