(More customer reviews)In COSMIC WAR, Dr Farrell tackles a subject previously muddled if not thoroughly mucked beyond redemption by the likes of Z. Sitchen and E. Von Daniken. If you are not put off by the ruthless wackiness this subject has already inspired, Farrell will repay your patience many times over.
The book's premise is that Planet Earth was, at minimum, one of the proverbial ants under the dancing elephants at some point at least ten thousand years ago, but more likely much more distant in time from the present. It was a war, a real war, in "heaven" if you like, but very decidedly remembered by most world cultures: Farrell's strength as a researcher is finding nooks and crannies you'd never imagine existed at all, in folklore and lurid biblical accounts of giants, as one example, that, once assembled and placed in a reasonable context, actually support the case for this ancient but galaxy-shattering war.
And make no mistake: Farrell is not outlining some penny-ante Star Wars type shoot-em-up. As another example, he is able to include fairly recent and well-vetted research and speculation about pulsars which, placed in context, indicate this war was, from our point of view, almost vast beyond our ability to imagine. Farrell wisely frames it all as techical speculation, but there is no doubt that human prehistory has some real shockers coming for H Sap. When these shockers start to make the newspapers, I don't doubt they'll look at least something like Farrell's outline indicates. Unless the truth is worse than any of us are capable of speculating, that is (and there is a chance of that, too.)
Minor caveats are probably called for: The book treats texts of a religious nature (Genesis, eg) as allegorical accounts of real history, far removed from their actual source events in time and then redacted down to morality tales. This might be annoying to scriptural literalists of at least two monotheisic religions, so exercise discretion if gifting a local pastor or rabbi.
That aside, THE COSMIC WAR is that greatest of oddities, unabashed speculation that does justice to its subject. With so much "alternative" hisory, science and religion in the hands of cranks and quacks, this present book is an oasis of sanity and a perfect template for the up and coming researcher who wants to see this sort of thing DONE RIGHT.
The Cosmic War, no more and no less, is the way these subjects should have been handled from the start. Had researchers on, say, Atlantis been as careful and bold as Farrell, Plato's story would have had a distinguished academic pedigree by now. Imagine that!

The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics and Ancient TextsThis work presents the full history of the Exploded Planet hypothesis. There is ample evidence across our solar system of cataclysmic and catastrophic destruction events, and many planets are scarred from incredible impacts, and teeter in their orbits from unexplained causes. Rejecting naturalist and materialist assumptions of catastrophism forwarded by other researchers, Farrell seriously asserts that the causes are based in ancient myths of a Cosmic War in the heavens. Incorporating extraterrestrial artefacts, cutting-edge ideas in contemporary physics, and the texts of ancient myths into his argument, Farrell maintains that an ancient interplanetary war was fought in our own solar system with weapons of extraordinary power and sophistication. The book includes: secret technology behind the ancient Tablets of Destinies, the ancient texts telling of such destructions: from Sumeria (Tiamats destruction by Marduk), Egypt (Edfu and the Mars connections), Greece (Saturns role in the War of the Titans) and the ancient Americas; ancient and current mechanisms which could explode planets; and, the true scientific reason for our solar system's asteroid belt.
