This is a biography of Bill Kaysing (1922-2005), author of the important book "We never went to the Moon". It tells the whole story of a writer with a very unusual "alternative lifestyle." After working for Rocketdyne, Kaysing became a whistleblower regarding the Apollo Space Programme. He completely changed his lifestyle - to become a "nonconformist" and began to live a life which many free-thinkers might envy. He lived outside the constraints of the society that most of the rest of us live in. While living in California, he became quite infamous - all over the world as the "father" of the controversial theory of the Moon landing hoax. His extraordinary story is one that gives a fascinating glimpse into certain parts of American society and one that will "shake the conscience" of any reader who is not aware of the machinations of US corporations and government.
A formerly rich businessman thrown out of Hong Kong when the Chinese took over from the British decides to fix his dire financial problems and take revenge on the Chinese by tunneling under Hong Kong's bank vaults and stealing all their gold, then using a doomsday device to set off a "soliton wave" that will turn the ground to sludge, causing the whole city to collapse. Only the engineer on his staff who designed the soliton wave technology (intending it for good purposes, to help with construction projects) can stop him, working together with a beautiful young environmental activist who gets caught up in one of the soliton tests and nearly killed. From the deck of a yacht near the Great Barrier Reef to Australia and Singapore and finally Hong Kong itself, it's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as our heroes first struggle to escape the villain's clutches and then thwart his insanely destructive plan.
