The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
These two are QUITE the part of work. America’s most irresponsible broadcaster has teamed up with a guy whose career as a horror novelist was in the dumpster before he quickly grabbed onto the UFO thing. The result is fear-mongering pseudoscience the likes of which have not been seen since Velikovsky and von Daniken. Listen to their "Coast to Coast" radio broadcast. Streiber is persistently condemning capitalism for problems that, frankly, do not still exist. His calls for "government action" are barely-disguised paeans for government control, collectivism, and restrictions on personal freedom. Bell, while slightly more conservative, will simply put ANY crackpot on the radio — aliens, time travellers, you name it. Neither gentleman is a scientist of any sort. In fact, they are bold hucksters and charlatans. If you really must widely read speculative, prevaricating pseudoscience, go back to "When Worlds Collide" by Velikovsky. "Global Superstorm," however, is pure science-fiction, third-rate at that, throwaway movie-of-the-week folderol. Not only that, but have these guys EVER heard of editors and proofreaders? The book is usually filled with more typos than an AOL chat room.
