The way this book is written is just awful. Italics all over the place. just because its written in italics doesn't mean it's truthful. the whole tone of the book is just Bara and Hoagland back slapping each other over some fuzzy photographs and scratched negatives. throughout the book there are references to stuructures they can see but we never get a photo to prove it.
I gave up reading this book about halfway through. I just couldn't take it anymore.
Oh and next time you try and dupe us with a photoshopped cover, please remember things get reflected in visors. pathetic.

This book would be an interesting science-fiction item if it were billed as such.
This book is for:
a) those very attracted to conspiracy theories
b) those that have a lot of fun reading how wacky are some ideas floating around about even pretty straightforward subjects
This book is not for:
a) those that will be revolted by the fallacies of the book
b) researchers that expect to find more information about the incidents listed but will be led to a completely irrelevant track
As for me, I feel sorry I wasted those hours reading this piece of fiction

This book was a lot of fun to read. It was full of ideas and statements that would be really cool if they were eventually found to be true. The book has pictures to support these ideas and statements. The pictures aren't all that cool to look at. In fact, I just can't see the things that the author is telling us are present in those pictures. Dome cities, intelligently created towers etc. I look and look at those pictures in this book and I simply can't see them. But wouldn't it be cool if they really existed! A fun book to read, but... A lot of wishful thinking went into this book.

While many will cast aspersions at Hoagland's and Bara's thesis, they lay out a stupendous case for a conspiracy of silence, omission, and lies in the US Space Program. Exhaustively researched, this book delves into a variety of topics that are all linked by that common thread. Strong writing, the authors never pull their points.
However, they are a bit repetitive at times. Their mix of scholarly, detached writing with constant appeals to the reader is often jarring. And, unfortunately, far too many of the photographs they use as "clear evidence" are, well, murky and hard to make out. What they claim clearly shows this or that is often anything but clear.
Still, a fascinating read and one that definitely makes you think, hmmmm.

I purchased this book after hearing co-authors Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara on Coast to Coast AM. Mike Bara in particular, tells a fairly engaging story on live radio. I was eager read these carefully constructed Mars/Moon/NASA arguments in detail.
530 pages later I never could tell who wrote which parts of the book, because the authors refer to each other (and themselves) in the third person throughout. There is very heavy use of italics and quotations in every chapter... I found this highly distracting. The story is one tenuous series of arguments built upon even more dubious assumptions, and you have to pass these to make any progress reading. I had a very hard time keeping an open-mind, much less knocking out 10-15 pages per sitting before my mind began to wander.
This is a book about photographs that resemble a Rorschach Test. Be prepared to thumb back and forth nonstop - from the plates back to the text, back to the plates. Be prepared for a lengthy discourse about camera pixels and resolution, and elementary trigonometry. To say this book is often tedious would be an understatement.
My big question to the authors would be as follows: why would 'the cabal within NASA' ever release photographs to impugn NASA, themselves, and cast light on the very 'evidence' they are allegedly hiding? I would sooner believe all of this had Mr. Hoagland and Mr. Bara broken into JPL and stolen the film themselves.
Dark Mission is not an easy read, nor is it very juicy. If you're somewhere between alien abduction and SETI, this is probably correctly gauged for your level of conspiracy-theory tolerance. If you love Egyptology and symbolism, by all means have at it. It was neither here nor there for me - not enough science to be scientific, nor enough punchline to keep me awake wondering.
