William you should go ahead and buy The Music Of Time as alot of the information is correct whereas there is some sensationalism in it but again the use of 'rational discernment' is needed to slft and filter out all disinformation and hype from this amazing and very readable Montauk Series book.

Octahedron, I value your opinion very much, I just wanted to give my view. I have often been wrong and often been right in my life. At this stage I think this is a book put out just to make some money with the Montauk label, with some right and some wrong info.

Yes, but then, it is a very strange way to make money.

I mean this book is written/published in 2000; and the last book of both Moon & Nichols before this book in the Montauk series is "Encounter in the Pleiades" written/published in 1996. So there is a gap of 4 years.

If they only wanted to make money, Moon would have get Preston making more fantasies if so.

So, I think there is much more going on than making money.

My disappointment about "Music in Time" is the John Ford story which has nothing to do with the Music.

It would better have been this part was made in another book, while the "music part" needs much more explanations and technical reviews.

But the core of Preston's stories is brilliant for me.

Not a strange way to make money. You'll have to wait some time to see if there is a demand for another book. It is the right time for such a book to spread among the people who are interested in the thing and want another sequel. Just read the newest Montauk book, the "Montauk book of the Dead", to see where it is going. Besides, the Music of Time had not so much to do with Montauk.

For Moon it was just another gap of 3 years, as he did the Black Sun book in 97.

Yes, You're right with these arguments.

And indeed the latest book about "the Dead" of Moon is completely unlogical for me.

Moon would better point his attention to the efforts of Stewart Swerdlow (Like the Blue Blood True Blood subjects).

I am trying to read it at the moment. It is difficult, because it seems to be only and exclusively about L., Ron , Hubbard , Sea Org, Scientology and Dianetics and Moon's experiences and speculations with that.

While I am open to ideas of Scientology (because I know where some of the stuff came from and can sort out some of the lies), this book looks like Peter Moon is still into this stuff, and never got really rid of it and never achieved a freer perspective on it (like in the L.Kin-books, for example). That is sad and painful to read, because he is so pro Hubbard.

I think this is the reason some no longer want to be affiliated with Sky Books. You could too easily be associated with Scientology.

When I have finished the book, I put a short summary on this thread.

[Octahedron]

If the Rolling Stones and esp. Mick Jagger are concerned in this topic, their song "Painted Black" gives me the feeling Preston Nichols and Peter Moon really have written some truth about the Music Industry & Montauk/Morocco connection here with this book.

I can not explain why; it's only a feeling I have.

I totally agree with you on this point Octahedron.I also feel Preston Nichols has not been totally forthcoming in alot of issues he mentions in The Music of Time.
