On the Laser's Edge

The Conspiracy: Code Word Tikal

ISBN: 978-0-9795752-0-4

By Sharon Thatcher

With Thomas E. Burg, FBI Special Agent Retired

The remarkable, true story of Mike Muckerheide and the 1970s conspiracy to affect the world order with laser weapons.

For more than three mind-numbing years, Wausau, Wisconsin scientist Myron "Mike" Muckerheide rode the laser's edge. As a pioneering, self-made laser expert he not only fought to overcome skepticism in the competitive research community, he did so while being courted by militant right-wing extremists. It was the extremists who understood better than anyone how valuable Mike's knowledge really was, and they wanted that knowledge to help them further their plans for world rebellion. Complicit to the plan were a Wisconsin assemblyman and a Guatemalan deputy defense minister.

Although becoming an FBI informant early on, Mike repeatedly encountered skeptical agents who didn't believe his fabulous claims about lasers at a time when the science was still largely misunderstood. He persevered to see the case to its surprising conclusion with the help of the few agents who did understand. This book gives you an insider's look into how the FBI conducted its investigation.

Mike went on to become a successful contributor to the development of laser science, working for hospitals, NASA, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
