Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigh on sixty years have passed since the publication of The Lord of the Rings. Finally the answers to its greatest mysteries can be revealed. This is probably the most controversial book ever published on Tolkien's 'Great Work' and possibly one of the most important. For revealed within is Tolkien's Master Plan and his Secret Code. Learn how Tolkien played a riddle-game with the reader leaving no less than seven - yes seven encoded puzzles purposely hidden within the text. Follow a carefully laid out cryptic path, and discover how the Professor used a veritable arsenal of literary devices to test his most avid fans. Yes, a riddle-game with the reader that would end up revealing solutions to the most argued over matters from all his works: i. The origin of the enigmatic Tom Bombadil and, ii. The physical make-up of his monster - the Balrog. Though it may sound far-fetched, and though one might feel entitled to yawn at 'yet another' secret code - this time the revelations will surprise even the most skeptical critic. Even the most dedicated scholar is likely to be startled at the strength of the evidence. For if ever anyone had a reason to insert a secret code - it was Professor Tolkien. Learn how, where, why and when; and learn how there is so much more to the masterpiece than initially meets the eye.
