  This is the story of Preston B. Nichols, a very strange story it is. The
degree of strangness rates a good 9 out of 10 and, if the old adage "Truth is
stranger than fiction"  is anything to go by, then perhaps this is evidence
that the book represents the 'truth' as may be known to the author. I, for
one, was unable to put it down until the last page was read. I was too tired
to begin it again, but that is the compunction that I felt last night.
INTRODUCTION
  At the eatern most end of Long Island sits Montauk Point, known to most New
Yorkers for its scenic beauty and landmark lighthouse. To the immediate west
of the lighthouse, there is a myterious  and derelict Air Force base on the
grounds of the old Fort Hero. Although it was offically decommissioned and
abandoned by the USA Air Force  in 1969, it was subsequently re-opened and
continued to operate without the sanction of the US Government.
The entire financing of the base is also a mystery. No funding can be traced
either to the military of the Govenrment.  Officals of the government have
probed for the answers without success.

The secrecy of the operation has prompted legends to thrive across Long
Island, However, it is unlikely that any of the local people of Montauk, or
those who spread the tales, know the full story of what actually went on 
there.

A circle of insiders believe the the Montauk Project was a developement and
culmination of the phenomena encountered aboard the USS Eldridge in 1943.
Popularly known as the "Philadephia Experiment", the ship actually disappeared
while the Navy conducted radar invisibility experiments.

According to these accounts, over three decades of secret research and applied
technology actually ensued. Experiments were conducted that included
electronic mind surveillance and control of distinct populations. The climax
was reached at Montauk in 1983. It was at that point the the Montauk Project
ripped open a hole in space time to 1943.
Perhaps the person best qualified to tell the story is Preston Nicholls, and
electrical engineer and inventor who has studied the Montauk Project for the
better part of a decade. His interest in part was spurred on by unusual
circumstances in his own life. He was also able to legally acquire much of the
equipment that was used for the project. His continued investigation
ultimately revealed his own role as the project's technical director. Despite
having been brain washed and threats to silence him, he has survived and has
decided it is in the best interest of all to tell his story.

So says the introduction. It seems that Mr Nicholls has been one of the
persons to have worked with Duncan Cameron and Al Bielek, both of whom have
previously released some detail into the activities of certain groups involved
with the exploration of space-time matrix and mind control.

The account is very well written, lucid and not too technical for the layman
reader. If what the book purports to have been achieved by man is true, then
virtually nothing is impossible. eg.Instantaneous travel from A to B, whether
B happens to be on Mars in the year 125,000 BC, or Earth in the year 6035;
creation of monsters or beings at will; transference of one person's "soul" or
"signature" to another (walk-ins?); re-juvination of body by manipluation of a
person's time-line; The Seeing-eye, by the use of a portion of a person's hair
or other peronal effects, it is possible to see through the eyes of that
person in real-time and experience their view. This is only the tip of the
iceberg...Far out!, you say? Well, perhaps but read it as science fiction if
you must, above all, read it.

The price - ouch, here in Australia $32.00 - in America $15.95
