      Interesting take, well written, the arguments seem sound on a superficial level. Not overly ‘nutty’ conspiracy theorist as the author does pose a few questions to make the reader think, however not very many and mostly they are aimed at the real nutters that contradict themselves regarding NASA’s validity.

      I like stretching my imagination with ideas such as this but unfortunately there’s a point in the book where the author assumes the reader has drunk the kool-aid and starts presenting the ideas as fact and then just spirals out of control. Suddenly the Anunaki have travelled from the imaginary planet Nubiru and are using Mars as a space station and we know this because in the 80s the CIA ‘remote viewed’ (read: psychically viewed) aliens were on the Moon and Mars hundreds of thousands of years ago. Still, I was interested enough to suspend disbelief to hear old mate out.

      He completely lost me at Sodom and Gomorrah being wiped out by an alien nuclear weapon. Superficial cherry picked accounts from the Bible might give the hypothesis credence but he fails in his research to back it up with scientific evidence. There is nothing in the geological history that comes close to suggesting that nuclear weapons were ever used on Earth before WWII. There is a great Smithsonian article that does suggest that it may have been a meteor comet - *if* the site found by archaeologists is actually one and the same with the Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah. Google: ‘Smithsonian magazine ancient city destruction biblical’ as the app won’t let me post a link.

      This glaringly obvious gap in evidence (as if ‘remote viewing’ wasn’t enough!) leads me to question everything in this book, since none of it is backed up by geological history, something that would be able to scientifically rule in or rule out much of what the author is speculating. Volcanic activity, changes in temperature, planetary polarity, climate and atmosphere as well as when they occurred can all be proven or disproven with geological data within rocks and core samples.

      Another important aspect that was not discussed is the fact that life took 3 billion years, give or take another half a billion or so, on Earth to get to the point where we can leave Earth for short periods but can’t/haven’t been able to travel long distances in space, apart from sending unmanned probes, and Earth has always been within the habitable zone. The fictional planet of Nubiru, if the author is to be believed, managed to evolve life to produce the Annunaki, a spacefaring alien species much more advanced than humans that were chilling on Mars half a million years ago? When Nubiru is supposedly a planet within our solar system but further away from the Sun (and the habitable zone where you can find liquid water on the surface, required for the creation, evolution and sustainability of life as we know it) than Pluto? And that the Annunaki were fine popping down to Earth for a chat and possibly inter-breeding with humans? Any life that evolved so far from its Sun and habitable zone (if it’s even possible) would not find our planet hospitable let alone be able to mate with the life forms here. It is nigh on impossible for a planet so far from the habitable zone to be able to produce any life at all, let alone a species far more advanced than those on Earth, *before* humans discovered fire or invented the wheel. Nubiru and Earth are supposed to be in the same solar system and, you know, we’re all working on the same creation timeline here!

      There was some scant ideas that there was native Martian life, but the author couldn’t decide if the life was intelligent or just animalistic. Did the Annunaki build the structures that people imagine they are seeing in the geology of Mars or was it Martian crabs that look like the facehuggers from the Alien movies? It’s not clear to the ‘remote viewers’.

      It’s possible that life did begin to evolve on Mars. Data from the probes, satellites and rovers sent to Mars indicate that there was liquid water on the surface 4.1-3.6 billion years ago but the loss of its atmosphere, possibly due to Mars being too small to have a strong magnetosphere, changed that. Any life on Mars ceased to exist. There is a small possibility that it did continue to evolve underground but we have no evidence of that. I had hoped that this book was about that possibility, but alas I should have known better.

      TLDR: great fiction, shit otherwise.
