Jack Parsons was a brilliant chemist, member of Cal Tech propulsion unit that invented the rocket fuel used for the US space flight to the moon. He was also a fanatical believer in the Magyck of Aleister Crowley the aging occultist who considered himself ''The Beast'' incarnate. In 1947 Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard were performing Crowley''s mystic rituals in a house in Pasadena, California.Parsons wrote excitedly to his occult leader, Crowley: ''I have had the most devastating experience of my life. I have been in direct touch with One who is most Holy and Beautiful as mentioned in your "Book of the Law". First instructions were received through Lafayette Ron Hubbard the seer. I have followed them to the letter. There was a desire for incarnation. I am to act as an instructor, guardian, guide for nine months; then it will be loosed on the world...'' Crowley wrote despairingly to a disciple about Parsons: ''It appears that he has given away both his girl and his money to this writer of science fiction and is now invoking my ritual to produce a Moonchild. I am fairly frantic...'' Nine months later while being visited by two students from Cambridge, Aleister Crowley died of cardiac degeneration. Missing from his personal possessions was his magical diaries and his pocket-watch. His funeral took place in the Chapel of the Brighton Crematorium. The final rites were performed by the novelist Louis Marlowe reading extracts from Crowley''s "Book of the Law". "The Brighton Echo" denounced the whole ceremony as a Black Mass. In 1952 Jack Parsons was blown up in his laboratory in Pasadena. L. Ron Hubbard died on his yacht as leader of the Church of Scientology.But did the issue end with these three deaths? Would Crowley, as he claimed, ever return from death to rule the world? Why did US astronauts name a crater on the moon after Jack Parsons? Is L. Ron Hubbard really dead? What had been generated by the ceremony in California that seemed to signal Crowley''s demise? And what happened to them missing pocket-watch? Unanswered questions till, late in the twentieth century, Dr. Joshua Mathers brought a ''state of the art ''Interactive Suit'' from Cal Tech California to Cambridge in England to begin an experiment that, unknown to mankind, changed the course of our planet.

Jeg hadde kviser, gikk kledd i anorakk, hadde slengbukser der jeg hadde skrevet ‘Purple’ og ‘Sabbath’ med kulepenn på lårene, og jeg kjørte en bråkete teit moped.

Helt klart et av de mest enestående og interessante menneskene i verden. I Bruce Dickinson. En selvbiografi reflekterer Bruce – på sitt anarkistiske vis – over livets berg-og-dal-bane. Han forteller om en eksentrisk britisk barndom, om det eksplosive gjennombruddet til Maiden og om å påkalle mørkets krefter. Han beskriver filosofien bak fekting, forklarer hvorfor Boeing-fly er så vakre og beretter om det å avvise kreften som om den var en ubuden gjest. Denne etterlengtede selvbiografien er modig, ærlig, intelligent og morsom. Den fanger et rockeikons liv, hjerte og sinn og vil garantert inspirere både blodfans og nysgjerrige lesere.

More than an album, it was a thunderous statement of intent by a band whose meteoric rise from the East End of London would propel them to the world stage, thrusting them into the realms of legend.

"Minulla oli finnejä, käytin anorakkia ja leveälahkeisia sinisiä farkkuja, joiden reiteen oli kirjoitettu kuulakärkikynällä "Purple" ja "Sabbath", ja huristelin korvia vihlovasti pärisevällä nynnyllä mopolla. Ja halusin ryhtyä rumpaliksi." Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maidenin legendaarinen keulakuva, on yksi maailman tunnetuimmista laulajista ja lauluntekijöistä. Lisäksi hän on myös lentokapteeni, ilmailuyrittäjä, puhuja, oluenpanija, kirjailija, radiojuontaja, elokuvakäsikirjoittaja ja kansainvälisen tason miekkailija. Kirjassaan Bruce Dickinson: omaelämäkerta. What does this button do? Bruce pohtii elämän vuoristorataa. Hän kertoo – omalla anarkistisella tavallaan – epätavallisesta brittiläisestä kasvatuksestaan, Iron Maidenin räjähdysmäisestä läpimurrosta ja pimeyden voimien avuksi kutsumisesta. Hän kirjoittaa miekkailun filosofiasta, lentokoneiden kauneudesta ja kamppailustaan syöpää vastaan. Tämä odotettu omaelämäkerta on rohkea, rehellinen, nokkela ja hauska. Se kuvaa perusteellisesti rocklegendan elämää, rakkauden kohteita ja ajatuksia, ja se tuo takuuvarmasti iloa niin uskollisille faneille kuin muille lukijoille.
