Title: Perhaps deserves one and a half stars
Product review: Perhaps this book deserves one and a half or even two stars - not for Hancock's silly nonsense about continents charging round but because he does put his finger on some genuinely unexplained mysteries. Compared to Sitchin's "Twelth Planet" - which is a positive insult to the human mind - it is a scholarly work, but still at bottom incoherent, unscientific and full of absurdities. The trouble with even the best fringe science writers is that they are, at best, better at pointing to holes in conventional theories (including evolution) than putting up anything better (or experimentally verifiable) themselves. If you like science-fiction, read some good honest science-fiction by Larry Niven etc., which doesn't pretend to be anything more than fiction. Incidentally, for the benefit of the previous reviewer, the phrase "respected journalist" is a contradiction in terms.
