About Joseph P. FarrellJoseph P. Farrell has a doctorate in patristics from the University of Oxford, and pursues research in physics, alternative history and science, and "strange stuff". His book The Giza DeathStar was published in the spring of 2002, and was his first venture into "alternative history and science". Following a paradigm of researching the relationship between alternative history and science, Farrell has followed with a stunning series of books, each conceived to stand alone, but each also conceived in a pre-arranged sequence:
The Giza Death Star (2001)
The Giza Death Star Deployed (2003)
Reich of the Black Sun (2004)
The Giza Death Star Destroyed (2005)
The SS Brotherhood of the Bell (2006)
The Cosmic War (2007)
Secrets of the Unified Field (2008)
The Nazi International (2008)
The Philosophers' Stone (2009)
Babylon's Banksters (2010)
Roswell and the Reich (2010)
LBJ and the Conspiracy to Kill Kennedy (2010)
Genes, Giants, Monsters, and Men(2011)
The Grid of the Gods (2011)
Currently Farrell is working on three books, all due out later this year.

On that MIG, were those nano vacuum tubes? And then vacuum tubes don’t do real well with vibration and pressure changes, maybe better at radiation than transistors but I’m not sure about electrical surges.
Thats what the Americans found on the MIG 29 they inspected. They thought the then Soviets were backward until they remembered vacuum tubes could resist the effects of a nuclear blast the crafty Soviets. Well it’s back to the future then what’s old is new again.
