The Philosopher’s Stone is a masterfully written search through the ages in which Dr. Farrell connects modern physics, ancient alchemy, the transmutation of monotomic gold before finally discovering the energy source for a enigmatic super secret Nazi device called “The Bell” (See Brotherhood of the Bell for more information.).  Calling deeply on historic accounts, of alchemy, the work of Soviet astrophysicists Nikolai Kozyrev we are taken on a journey through the dark recesses of the lost art of alchemy.

It all started in Joseph Farrell’s previous book Brotherhood of the Bell, when we were introduced to Serum 525 (The power source of the Bell).  From then on we wondered what this exotic liquid was and how it played into the operation of the Bell, one of the most enigmatic exotic super weapons the Nazi’s developed.

Through a successive series of books the reader is drawn more into the web of The Bell and its mysterious sponsor Eng. Dr. Hans Kammler. With The Philosopher’s Stone, Dr. Joseph Farrell’s first Feral House publication, we finally learn the true nature of Serum 525, the Bell and other mysteries.

The Philosopher’s Stone is a stellar piece of research and takes you on a journey through the ages in search of Transmutation, or the idea of the conversion of base elements into exotic elements.  Dr. Farrell spends a great deal of time bringing you up to speed on Alchemy and how it plays into the search for Serum 525.

I have often said that when you are finished reading one of Dr. Farrell’s books you are almost an expert on the subject, and that is clearly by design.  With the references, footnoting and annotations Dr. Farrell gives you the path to research the subject while also giving you the background to understand what you are reading.  You might say it’s like a graduate history seminar in a book!

So what’s the verdict?  BUY THIS BOOK!  But make sure you’ve read the others as well.  It is a fantastic standalone book but when read after Brotherhood of the Bell and his other books; The Philosopher’s Stone becomes the capstone to a quest for some of the most amazing technology and scientific discoveries of all time.
