Book I is a new physics hypothesis. From a silly naive idea, it began paralleling current physics in many intriguing ways. Are these all just co-incidences? From polarized particles, to unexpectedly matching the periodic table, to what energy is, and an ether that dilates rather than illogical "space-time". Could this be the long sought after simpler explanation of physics? Book II is theological writings, and a new interpretation of Daniel and Revelation in the Bible. The author claims it to be much more complete as to matching clues given in these mysterious books, and much more relevant to actual history than the current Rapture/Anti-Christ interpretation that is so well known. Book III is primarily about the urgent problem of overpopulation. Both books II and III are interspersed with traditional conservative thoughts on politics, social order, economics and government, including the distillation of logical ideas on good government down to a few simple principles.

With the Sisigwad Papers, you learn that this small Michigan hamlet has always had a strange and somewhat curious history. A history that was rarely talked about and only in whispers. Influenced by its unique geographical location and some of its inhabitants, Sisigwad has long been shrouded in mystery and dark secrets long forgotten by the fog of time. Until now. From it's earliest days and beginnings to its current ghost town status, Sisigwad has bore witness to the weird and wonderful, as well as the unbelievable and the uncanny.

In some cases you get exactly what you pay for. It was said that the upper peninsula town of Sisigwad was cursed. That it had been, ever since that dark and terrible night, so many decades ago. A deadly act of violence by some drunken, greedy men helped unleash an unspeakable evil upon the town. One that unyieldingly persists in tainting the land. Not only was Sisigwad cursed, it was for sale...cheap. Cheap and scenic enough for businessman Al Cashman to build his resort and casino. So when he decides to buy up the Northern Michigan hamlet, as part of the plan, he ends up getting more than he ever bargained for. Because, not only did he buy a town, he bought the curse that plagues it as well. Which in some cases proves, you not only get what you pay for, but what you deserve...
