I didn't know where else to put this, so this thread seems as good as any. The "News" sections of the main Hanso page has been updated with a link to the same newspaper ad that we saw earlier this week, along with this message:

"Fri 12/05/06
Don't believe "Bad Twin"

New book "Bad Twin" by Gary
Troup features wild
misinformation about the
Hanso Foundation. We
encourage all readers to
remember the altruistic work
that we are doing, and make up
their own mind. Full press
release here"

Check out the URL for that pdf file.. why /paris/?

i can't fin 4of9 either
and ive looked at the 6 link at http://www.garytroup.net/buy.php
on where to buy the book and none of them help.

some of them have exerpts but nothing of relevence i can find.

i also found somtrhing else wierd http://www.garytroup.net/links.php
in the links page when you click on the bad twin logo it takes you to the hansofoundation website http://thehansofoundation.org
and why would you link to a site that bad mouths yuor book.

the only thing that makes this look dodge is the fact that the other links have already been rules OOG

I skimmed through the book at Walmart and the book mentions Mittelwerk as being "two-faced" and having his own hidden agenda.

This may be nothing, but the Excerpt of the book on Troupes website seems completely bizarre to me in terms of his use of vocabulary, grammar and syntax. The flow just seems totally off to me. I haven't looked at the rest of the book, so maybe ole Gary is just a crummy writer, but I wondered if there could be some clue embedded in this excerpt. Probably nothing, but just thought I'd mention it.

Good find. This adds a lot more to the Valenzetti mystery.
