mind-blowing

There is never a dull moment and rich detail of various forms of paranormal facts which exist and which are described in this novel. It is not real easy to read, but worth every effort.

Important Correction

Mr. Dennis Daly's review of Father Ernetti's Chronovisor is misleading and incorrect in that surely it must refer, not to the English-language version of the book (which you have on sale here), but to the original German-language version (Dein Schicksal ist Vorherbestimmt, 1997). The German version devotes only two chapters exclusively to Father Ernetti and his time machine, which is one of the complaints Mr. Daly makes. The American version has 14 chapters devoted exclusively to Father Ernetti and his chronovisor, and all of the other 12 chapters bear directly on those 14 chapters. The German version is riddled with errors (the author even gets Father Ernetti's first name wrong), but the American publishers seem to have done all their own research and brought out a book so greatly expanded, revised and corrected over the original version that it really amounts to a whole new book. I strongly recommend this new American version. It is a fascinating and riveting account that seems to me to bring out all of the complex, subtle and elusive factors in this mind-blowing and completely original odyssey of Father Ernetti. I'm at a loss, though, to explain why 4 out of 5 readers backed up Mr. Daly in his harsh review. Why did they affix their approval to a review that so obviously distorts even the most basic facts of the book? Have they, too, read only the German version? It seems unlikely. But, if so, I strongly urge them--and everyone else--to read the American version.

CERTAINLY A CULT CLASSIC IN THE MAKING

From THE FORTEAN TIMES, June/July, 2000: Jeremy of Hampstead, Fiona of Bloomsbury, beware. European-style intellectual novels are making a comeback with a New Age touch. There are now no excuses for being a pre-industrial writer any more. Father Ernetti's Chronovisor is a beautifully written literary-cum-fictional experiment, in the Umberto Eco tradition. The book could have been a candidate for a review by Arthur Koestler in the long-defunct CIA-sponsored Encounter magazine. It could well represent a growing anti-pop movement in that genre which is now called "pan-dimensional." This style, while not "stream-of-consciousness" or collage, nevertheless juxtaposes many elements: an esoteric story, essays on occultism, historical elements and technological myths--just about everything that FT readers are interested in. Father Ernetti was an Italian Benedictine monk who died in the middle years of this [the 20th] century. He lived in the lovely abbey on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, just off the main island of Venice, and as a scientist and musicologist, he was an authority on archaic music. Using his knowledge of the physics of chordal structures, he claimed to have made a time-machine. (...) -Colin Bennett

A First-Rate, Challenging Mystery Thriller

Pre-Publication Review by the author of Parent-Child Telepathy, UFO Dynamics, Psychiatric and Paranormal Aspects of Ufology, The Jacques Romano Story and many others.FATHER ERNETTI'S CHRONOVISOR is a brilliantly-researched, absorbing compendium of a current-times Benedictine monk's forays into specific events in the life of Christ and ancient Greece. Using his enigmatic invention--the chronovisor--scientist/scholar/exorcist Father Ernetti plumbs the depths and drives a cutting wedge into man's hidden past, our access to alleged akashic records, and the present-day relevance of those to such new and baffling paranormal techniques as electronic voice phenomena and transcommunications with television and computers. Peter Krassa illuminates his thesis with sparkling accounts of the life and achievements of such fellow time-travelers as Madame Blavatsky, Rudolph Steiner and Thomas A. Edison, and some others not quite so well known, such as the controversial free energy inventor/genius(?) John Worrell Keely. Wow! Once you start reading FATHER ERNETTI'S CHRONOVISOR, you won't put it down till you've finished. It is a first-rate, challenging mystery-thriller, not fiction but--whatever the true explanation behind it all is--the "real thing!"
