Book Synopsis



This is the biography of a man whose story cannot be told!


The Man Who Mastered Gravity is an intimate profile of Thomas Townsend Brown - a little-known scientist whose unorthodox ideas about electricity and gravity have made him the subject of decades of speculation and intrigue.


Brown developed his novel concepts while serving in the U.S. Navy through the 1930s. In the first months of World War II he was abruptly discharged - despite his consirable expertise in radio, radar, and mine sweeping.


Two weeks later he showed up at a top-secret aviation facility in Califoria. After that, Brown slipped behind a veil of secrecy from which he only occasionally blinks in and out of view. For example, in the 1950s, Brown formed NICAP, the first civilian organization dedicated to the study of unexplained 'aerial phenomena' (aka UFOs).


Though he is sometimes dismissed as a washout or a charlatan, The Man Who Mastered Gravity addresses the equal likelihood that Townsend Brown operated at the epicenter of a global web of classified 'black' projects - effectively acting as the 'Oppenheimer' in a deeply secret realm that persists to this day.


The Man Who Mastered Gravity is a cloak-and-dagger story of science and espionage, hidden technologies, forbidden romance and a secret society - all woven through pivotal events in the middle of the 20th century.


Buy The Man Who Mastered Gravity today, and enjoy this epic tale of lost science, hidden power, love, danger - and ideas will take you to the edge of modern science.

Review Quotes




Pre-release reader reviews (based on an earlier edition):

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's extremely well written by a very talented author. I've always been intrigued about Brown's life and the possibility of propulsion by counteracting gravity. If you, too, have come across Brown's work and want to learn more, then this is the definitive book. If you're someone who enjoys 20th century history, secret societies, scientific intrigue and mystery, then this book is for you. - J. W. E.

.

Very interesting account of the life of this brilliant and enigmatic scientist and inventor. A Heroic Effort by author Paul Schatzkin! - Larry R.

.

This is quite literally the essential and most authoritative biography of T. Townsend Brown available. Through access to Brown's family and friends as well as hard-earned documents and dogged research, Schatzkin gives new insights to the life of Townsend Brown that seemed impossible a few years ago.

He fearlessly goes down the rabbit holes inevitably encountered in the world of black projects. He ably explores the technology and physics that Brown worked on and developed. He dispells many of the myths about Brown and corrects mis- and dis- information. He even drops a few bombshells that will certainly challenge some readers perceptions of what's going on in this world and how the Universe works.

Schatzkin is a sober, intelligent, and sensitive author writing about a man who mostly inhabits the risky world of the fringe and conspiracy theory. He does it with cajones and good sense. It is well worth the read. - 'Thorny'

.

The most complete account of the life of T. Townsend Brown to date. I found a great value in these pages. Considering the secrecy and disinformation arround this character, it is a really hard, deep, extensive and controversial investigation by the author. Above all, it is a respectfull text, full of valuable information, that lets the reader arrive her/his own conclusions. - Ernesto

.

Paul is a master. I have studied T.T. Brown since the beginning of the 1980's and thought I knew a lot. Paul brings you into the door of Brown's home and makes you feel as if you are tagging along with Brown himself! The technical concepts gleaned from these writings will give you insights into the mindset that created the inventions Brown is so noted for. I couldn't put it down and could not wait for the next chapter! - Ron H.

.

This is an enormously intriguing story. How much of it can you believe? Clearly any story about black operations is going to lack documentation. That goes with the territory. What of Schatzkin's more extravagant claims? Are they credible? He writes with a reluctant skepticism, as one who doesn't want to believe, but can't help wondering himself. - John A.
