"Mr Paijmans, your book on Keely is magnificent. Truly magnificent. It is the finest contribution to the anomaly literature I have read for a good many years, not since Kafton-Minkel's Subterranean Worlds, at the very least: and maybe it surpasses even that fine book! At that level, en tout cas, comparisons are meaningless."
-Hilary Evans, auteur van UFOs: the greatest mystery; Visions * Apparitions * Alien Visitors; The Evidence for UFOs (Ufo's het bestaan bewezen, M & P boeken, 1985).

"Over a century ago, an American inventor by the name of Keely discovered a mysterious source of free energy and proceeded to build some 2000 machines that ran on this mysterious force. But because his breakthroughs never materialized, many thought Keely a charlatan. This new biography clearly demolishes this image of Keely. So was he crazy? Maybe. Visionary? Maybe. A man of the times? Absolutely. Keely was one of many pursuing unconventional lines of research and this biography ends up surveying an amazing period of history. My good friend Hilary Evans calls this "a magnificent contribution to anomaly literature." He's right: well done, Paijmans!"
-Patrick Huyghe, schrijver van o.a. The Field Guide to Extraterrestrials, in The Anomalist

"We often think of the reign of Britain's Queen Victoria as a stultified and backward-looking era. 'Victorian' has come to mean repressed and stagnant. In this exceedingly wellwritten and painstakingly researched book, Theo Paijmans reminds us that the opposite was true...it was a period filled with interest in scientific discovery: at the same time interest in the occult was never greater.
These two streams of thought came together in the life of John Worrell Keely (1837-1898), a man whose accomplishments were at least as great as Nikola Tesla's, and whose current undeserved obscurity is even greater...The book explores the connections between Keely's work and many of the leading occultists and science fiction writers of the last half of the 19th century...the author gives us a good time with many of the most intriguing personalities of the period, from Jules Verne to Edward Bulwer-Lytton.
He has succeeded in creating that rare thing, a well-researched book covering both science and the occult which is on its own a great entertainment."
-Charles A. Coulombe, Fate Magazine, December 1998.

Theo has amassed a staggering encyclopedic collection of historical references on Keely and seeming all other researchers in America and Europe of that time period. He presents an astonishing array of science, technology and sacred/metaphysical/philospy ever to be brought under a single title. Theo makes a superhuman effort to cross reference the ideas and inventions of all these fabulous personalities. Contains new and unseen photos of Keely devices. A remarkable work! This book is destinied to become The Reference source for the New/Free Energy movements with its 57 pages of references and footnotes.
