Four clergymen seek to make sense of their mission while being torn in all directions by the Church of England. After a critically-lauded debut in 1990 at London’s National Theatre, Racing Demon went on to earn universal acclaim.

The Tardis lands on Phobos, moon of Mars, where extreme sports nuts of the future indulge their passion for gravity boarding and wormhole jumping. But there's something lurking in the shadows - something infinitely old and infinitely dangerous. It's not for nothing that phobos is the ancient word for 'fear'....

At the end of the Second World War the United States government (under Operation Paperclip) extracted Nazi scientists from Germany. Very quickly top secret scientific testing started to happen all across America. Project MK ULTRA was formed by the CIA. The US government proceeded to drug, rape, torture, and murder innocent citizens on a massive scale that spanned decades.

Many conspiracy theories have emerged over hundreds of years ranging from the Freemasons being accused of being Satanists who are controlling the New World Order, to manipulating the world’s economic systems and food sources, to faking the Moon landings. They claim to be a "secret" society only to preserve their sacred signs, symbols and words of the Order traditionally used by Masons to identify and communicate with those within their ancient brotherhood. Although generations of Freemasons have steadfastly taken their oath to secrecy, some within the Order are speaking out for the first time.

For millennia mankind lived upon this planet without the need for electronic devices. No smartphones, tablets, or gadgets running our homes. We knew about the cycles of nature and the balance of life. Now, we live in an artificially-created dream state that controls every aspect of our lives. The majority of people in the world have no idea how to hunt and gather, how to heal themselves, build a shelter, or even communicate without texting. Huge leaps in technological evolution have destroyed in one generation what thousands of generations developed.

Legends throughout the world testify that giants once walked the Earth. The Bible tells of the Nephilim, giants who were "the sons of God and the daughters of man", but in the modern world this is thought to be a myth. But if these accounts are merely myth, how can we have skeletal remains of human giants that are eight to 12 feet tall, that have been discovered throughout the world and throughout history?

In the remote reaches of the Alaskan North Slope lies a place of scientific intrigue and controversy: HAARP, which ventures into the realm of mind control, utilizing high frequency signals to influence behavior.

We've all heard of UFOs being seen by everyday people. What we don't hear about is how strange some of these encounters have been reported to be.

He presided over the "murder castle", a devilish architectural creation in downtown Chicago made specifically to murder people. Trap doors, chutes, false doors, hidden passageways, and spy holes made the Murder Castle the infamous building of its age. Many victims were beaten to death; some were strangled; others gassed; and even more were tortured on racks before they lost their lives. When he was finally caught, he confessed to 27 murders; although, it is believed by many that he butchered over 200.

With roots deep in the history of military sciences, and largely beginning after World War 2, the history of mind control studies is a rich and fascinating one. The quest to conquer the human mind was attempted by the Central Intelligence Agency shortly after the end of the Second World War, with the creation of the MKULTRA project. Comprised of 149 sub-projects, the goal of this program was to study the effects of drugs, and different types of radical procedures on unwitting civilians in order to better understand how to create and interrogate spies during the Cold War.
