Anomalist Books

Stephen Wagner “heartily recommends” Brad Steiger’s Worlds Before Our Own, as well as Strange Guests and Shadow World, in his warm review of the book at About.com. Says Wagner: “Obviously, I have always been fascinated by discoveries and human experiences that don’t fit into the standard templates of what conventional science and even religion would have us accept…This fascination also includes archaeological discoveries that do not fit neatly into the timelines currently laid out in scientific texts…Yet these discoveries exist, annoying as they may be to the commonly accepted theories. Brad shares my excitement and wonder about these anomalies, which is why I gleefully relish books like Worlds Before Our Own. These anomalous findings – and there are thousands of them – stand out as real evidence that there very well may have been civilizations (possibly advanced) that pre-date any we are aware of.”

Likewise, Brent Raynes seems to appreciate the new history presented in Heavenly Lights: The Apparitions of Fatima and the UFO Phenomenon by Joaquim Fernandes & Fina D’Armada. In Alternate Perceptions, he writes: “This book…is a full-blown, indepth and thoroughly researched exploration of the facts in this extraordinary case. Not a few paragraphs devoted to some of the highlights of this astounding case, but a truly detailed presentation and compilation of the evidence and its similarities to the global UFO phenomenon. Originally published in Portuguese, the authors, Joaquim Fernandes and Fina D’Armada, conducted an extensive amount of original research that should be loudly applauded. Also their close examination and comparisons to all of the case details and the parallels that they isolated from UFO cases in various parts of the world, establishes an even much stronger and greater case for what ufologists have been writing and saying about the extraordinary Fatima events for so many years now. Easy to read and filled with wonderful illustrations and graphs, this is a great addition to any ufologist’s or parapsychologist’s library.”

Brent Raynes, the editor of Alternate Perceptions, has penned a wonderful review of Brad Stieger’s Worlds Before Our Own. “Once again,” he writes, “the most prolific and popular author we know, the legendary Brad Steiger has had another one of his greatest and most worthy classics reprinted.” Noting that this book “was a pioneering exploration of ancient global civilizations and so-called ‘erratics’—’man-made’ artifacts that turned up in unexpected places like primordial geological strata,” Raynes goes to say that “Brad had led the pack some fifteen years before Michael Cremo’s Forbidden Archaeology and others, and in a sense he was kind of like Barbara Mandrel in that song where she was country when country wasn’t cool!” I think Brad will be flattered by the comparison, even if he’s not a country music fan! Raynes ends his review with these words: “Though originally published nearly three decades ago, Worlds Before Our Own is still a very thought-provoking book written by one of the best qualified investigative writers to tackle such exciting and challenging historical controversies…”

Yes! Our reprint of Brad Steiger’s groundbreaking book, Worlds Before Our Own, is here. This edition features a new Foreword, which serves not only to explain just how controversial this book was when it first appeared but also updates it with some new evidence for the existence of a global prehistoric civilization. Brad will be making a tour of the airwaves to promote the book in the coming months, so don’t miss him!
