In the second Neo-Tech book, called "Inner Circle Secrets," one of the authors, Mark Hamilton, states very clearly that the third book, called "Miss Annabelle's Secrets," is actually a longer version of his science-fiction novel, "Earth's First Immortals." It is just that, along with some advice regurgitated from the first two Neo-Tech books.
A bit of background information: Mark Hamilton's real name is Wallace Ward, Jr. Wallace Ward Sr.'s nom de plume was Frank R. Wallace, and he was the actual founder of Neo-Tech. Neo-Tech, calling itself a "secret society," advertises itself as being able to help ordinary people achieve greater wealth, happiness and prosperity if they purchase Neo-Tech books and read them cover-to-cover. The average price of each book is in the $100-$150 range. Upon receiving the "Inside Secrets" and "Inner Circle Secrets," books, one quickly learns that neither delivers what it promises. Instead, there are various tips on effective time management interspersed with conspiracy-theory rants against various government agencies, historical figures, etc. None of it is especially enlightening. There are also lofty claims that certain enlightened humans have achieved biological immortality and can create all manner of things, including galaxies, with the power of their minds. The reader is never told how to achieve this, just that it's possible.
In the promotional letters encouraging people to buy this book, there is a claim that, once upon a time, a primary school teacher known as "Miss Annabelle" divulged her great secrets to one group of students. The promotional letters imply that Miss Annabelle was a real person, not a figment of Mark Hamilton's imagination. Her extraordinary students, prospective buyers are told, went on to accomplish great things, including receipt of Nobel Prizes. One would suppose that one or two of her former students would have acknowledged her great influence on their incredibly successful lives. One would also suppose that, if her entire primary school class went on to such lofty heights, the rich and powerful would be clamoring to send their own children to the same school. Miss Annabelle herself should be the subject of various books and films trumpeting her prowess.
As it happens, no one in Miss Annabelle's supposed class has ever come forward, and there's no evidence of her existence anywhere except in this book. However, many disillusioned Neo-Tech customers apparently have come forward. Neo-Tech's membership in the Better Business Bureau was suspended in 2006 for fraudulent advertising practices.
Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that never was a Miss Annabelle and this book contains no more "secrets" than the first two Neo-Tech books did. Don't waste your time or money on this unless you're looking for an expensive sci-fi novel."
