Inside the Earth- The Second Tunnel

I loved reading the book. It put a lot of things into perspective for me. I’m so glad I found this treasure.

I am posting this review after having read the book twice. This book proposes that our world is very different than the way many of us were brought up in western civilization. That, for example, Shambala is real, and is an actual place “inside the earth”! And there are many cities inside the earth, the majority of which are of a higher and elevated benevolent consciousness. It resonated with me as quite possibly, true! It is the fifth book in a series of 8, with more planned. It would make more sense to read the other 4 books first.

Great book. Can’t wait to read it again. Didn’t know it was a series. This is book 5 in the series. I have ordered the rest and can’t wait to start from the beginning.

This book is horribly written. I attribute that to three reasons: it was poorly edited (lots of grammatical errors); it was poorly translated (terms and phrases were extremely clumsy and not how anyone who is fluent in English would speak); and it was poorly written. The author is telling a story--an incredible story that, if true, could revolutionize how we understand the interior of the earth today. But he really doesn't understand the concept of "show, don't tell." Narration (telling) can be an important part of any story...but not for 90% of it in the first 110 pages. And not with a whole bunch of repetitions and opinions that don't really enlighten the reader about anything.Having said all of that, this is an incredible story, and hence why I gave it 4 stars. In the first 110 pages, there is a short history of Department Zero, including the Romanian-American alliance and some idea of all of the challenges involved with this alliance. But even more interesting to me, a LOT of uncertainties are addressed about Hollow Earth Theory, including the issue of what seismologists have observed that seem to favor a solid Earth, why Admiral Byrd supposedly was able to fly into inner Earth through the North pole opening even though said opening is not visible to most aircraft...and it also addresses the famous and brilliant Cavendish experiment that supposedly was able to infer the mass of the earth by measuring the pull of two 348-pound lead balls. This experiment indicated that the overall density of a solid earth would be about twice the density of most rocks upon the outer surface, making the idea of a hollow earth unlikely.This book addresses all of these issues, some better than others, but in a way that really does, in my opinion, make the reality of a hollow earth a very real possibility. But it--along with the brief history of Department Zero--could have been done in 20 pages, not 110, and interspersed with the actual story to keep the reader involved.This story is epic, and could someday be instrumental in better understanding this planet that we all call home. But if you find yourself having a hard time staying interested in it, then turn to page 111.

I have been able to visit such a place as described in this book in my sleep. I have walked such a city and knew it was “heaven” but now I know it is this same planet Earth, I see it was a living experience not imaginary!Radu’s descriptions are very good.
