Product Description

As the dust settles on the 30th anniversary of Apollo 11, information is now coming to light that throws into serious doubt the authenticity of the Apollo record. New evidence clearly suggests that NASA hoaxed the photographs taken on the surface of the Moon. These disturbing findings are supported by detailed analysis of the Apollo images by professional photographer David S Percy ARPS and physicist David Groves PhD. The numerous inconsistencies clearly visible in the Apollo photographic account are quite irrefutable. Recent research indicates that the errors evidenced in DARK MOON were deliberately planted by individuals determined to leave clues to the faking in which they were unwillingly involved. DARK MOON is the answer to the question-did the Apollo missions really land a man on the Moon and return him alive and well to Earth, or is the record incorrect?

Editorial Reviews

Stan Gooch, author of 'Total Man'

"Dark Moon is two amazing books in one. On the one hand it is an admirably documented investigation of the greatest sting in history-the alleged Apollo Moon landings. As if that were not enough, the further investigation of the reasons behind this monumental operation leads to the structures observed on Mars and their exact counterparts on Earth, the almost incredible age of the Moon, the real message of the Egyptian Sphinx and much else besides. Dark Moon is then also a serious contender and complement to 'Fingerprints of the Gods', 'The Sirius Mystery' and 'Serpent in the Sky'."


Customer Reviews

Absolute Garbage!1
I received a copy of "Dark Moon" directly from the authors as I gave David Percy and his assistant a tour of the Goldstone tracking facility and was interviewed on camera by David in December of 1997.

I worked at the Goldstone Manned Space Flight Network station during all Apollo missions and was an eyewitness to those events. However this book is filled with half-truths and total fabrications about the Apollo program. It will only be of interest to people who like things about "Area 51," "Crop Circles," Roswell "UFO's" and other weird "happenings."

Anyone who has even the slightest knowledge of photography and physics can see through the so-called "facts" presented in this fabrication. It should be considered a work of fiction instead of an independent view of a historic event.

Entertaining, amusing, but hopelessly unconvincing1
I sort-of enjoyed reading this book - it makes a good bathtime read if nothing else! It starts off reasonably well, the arguments about doctored photos etc are well put and just about had me convinced. I guess this is their strongest subject and the reason for their skepticism about the Apollo project. Unfortunately the authors didn't think to quit when they were ahead, and the more I read the less convinced of their arguments I became... the book rambles from one subject to another with little to connect them, they get basic facts wrong yet pedantically complain about "inaccuracies" in irrelevant things like other people's spelling! They cite films such as Apollo 13 and Independence Day (!!! reference to "inaccuracies" in the date of the Roswell incident, for goodness' sake! Thanks for the laugh, folks, took me ages to stop when I read that!) as perpetuating the "myth". How can they expect to be taken seriously with arguments like this? Then they liberally fill the book with breakout boxes containing sarcastic and usually irrelevant asides - do they think they're being amusing? To me, they just diminish their credibility by resorting to playground name-calling. They should concentrate on making their arguments coherent, unless of course they're just padding out the book to make it look like a serious work of research. I won't go on - but if you want to read some very entertaining theories regarding Mars, crop circles, UFOs, Frau Im Mond, Buzz Aldrin, and Hitler's dog then by all means buy this book. Personally, I wish I'd borrowed it from the library and not wasted my money.

Factual Inconsistencies1
Having borrowed this book from the library i thought it might be a good read - but factual errors crop up everywhere!If the authors have researched this book so thoroughly (as it states on the back cover) then how come something as simple as a diagram labelled (by the authors) Vostok airlock can crop up? vostok didnt have an airlock! As well as this two other examples that spring to mind are the frequent mixups between apoapsis and periapsis (they label them the wrong way round in a table, as well as other locations) and in the back the maths they use to describe lunar gravity and the earth-moon zero acceleration point cannot be compared to each other, while the authors suggest they can.

In short, this book may be interesting but it is also completely incorrect. Im not stating that we have or have not landed on the moon - i am stating that the "evidence" put forward by the authors is so factually incorrect that it offers no proof what-so-ever in relation to lunar landings.
