Consider the following:

(1) The "Face" on planet Mars is an artificial structure and the "face" is part of a city on Cydonia Planitia (a region of Mars) .
(2) Numerous objects surrounding the landing sites of the Mars Exploratory Rovers (called Spirit and Opportunity that are still exploring Mars) are, in fact, pieces of Martian machinery.
(3) There are large semi-transparent structures constructed of glass on the moon's surface.
(4) The twelve moon-walkers "have had their memories selectively edited" so that they no longer remember seeing evidence of a lunar civilization.
(5) The evidence of a advanced civilization that once existed on the moon and Mars is being suppressed by NASA.

The above five claims are just some of the tamer claims (there are many, some of which become really (I mean really) outlandish) that you will find in this book, authored by Richard Hoagland (perhaps best known as "principal investigator" of the Internet site called the "Enterprise Mission", an organization that examines NASA data for the "possibility of archaeological ruins on Mars and the Moon") and Michael Bara (an aerospace structural engineer).

(For those that don't know, the name "Enterprise" was used for the name of the spaceship or "star ship" in the 1960's science fiction television show "Star Trek." The title of this review is actually popular phrase from that TV show. Montgomery "Scotty" Scott was the Enterprise`s Chief Engineer.)

Each chapter of this book has black and white images or pictures at the end of the chapter. The chapter's narrative indicates when the reader is to look at a particular picture. I counted over 200 captioned images.

As well, in the middle of the book are nearly thirty color captioned images.

As far as the pictures go, I had trouble seeing what the authors saw unless I used a heavy dose of imagination. These pictures reminded me of Rorschach test (after the psychiatrist who had this last name) or more generally an inkblot test where the person looking at the blot states freely what he or she sees. I predict that hardcore science fiction readers and/or those that cannot distinguish between science and science fiction will adore reading this book.

I also noticed that all the images were manipulated (enhanced, filtered, etc.) in some way. If you manipulate photos enough, you're bound to come up with something interesting.

With respect to the main narrative, I noticed that it was filled with assumptions, beliefs, a jumping to conclusions, etc. Conspiracy theories abound in this book. Thus, conspiracy addicts should also enjoy reading it.

It also seems to me that Hoagland "lost it" in the last few pages of the book's epilogue. To see why, you're going to have to read the book. (Hint: the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe with its high resolution camera did not reveal in images released in April 2007 what Hoagland expected.)

Finally, before I even began reading the main narrative of this book, I first read Hoagland's brief biography on the last page. (Hoagland seems to be the principal author.) There were things that I read in it that didn't seem right. I checked his credentials on the Internet. My suspicions were confirmed!! There are significant problems with his credentials.

In conclusion, if you are either a conspiracy addict and/or a hardcore science fiction reader, then you should thoroughly enjoy this book.

...like the things we learn about WW2, forty years later. I have heard, somewhere out there, there is a recording of a cosmonaut falling to HER death in a re-entering capsule. Sex? I have heard some say they would be surprised if it HASN'T happened yet. I believe there are a lot of stories we haven't heard of (and not of the silly sort) that the public would love to hear about. Right now the history of the space program is so dry that it is hard to believe it is a MANNED program.

Hello people. I will have to say this. I wonder if he PROVIDED The FACES OF MARS Images that he supposedly HAS in his possession, to show in his new Book? RCH & I were close until him & I had a falling out because of these Old Yet NEW Faces of Mars!

What am I talking about? What FACES OF MARS??

Now.. I bet your all wondering about these ay?
What des this have to do with Richard Hoagland??

Well, according to my investigation into these images, it seems it is & was RCH who has or had these images to provide Grizzly Adams Productions in the past to be filmed on a video made in 1992-1993!

I discovered.. these new Faces seen on this particular video. I have been investigating this for over a year now.
Alot of meat on the bone also.

Now if what the Producer & screenwriter both suggest is true, then Richard Hoagland has seen & known about more than one Face on Mars & has been keeping them secret. WHY?

Maybe he reveals them in his new book Dark Mission??
I have the audio clips with the people who in thier own words, state these images came from Richard.
he was also supposed to be on the set, with them in his hands.... but that never happened. :evil:

Here is the links to the clips of TESTIMONY & what I feel any & all should ask Hoagland simple questions regarding these images, & his part played in the creation of this video, as well as his knowledge of these images. YOU can raise these questions as it has merit to be asked!!!

You need real player to hear the clips. you do NOT wanna miss this IMPORTANT INFO!!

Ponder this & ponder that, what the hell does Hoagland KNOW ABOUT ALL THAT???? Ask Him!!! Does he show & tell in his new book?
