An editorial assessment of every book in the series — what each one covers, what makes it different, and who it is written for. Honest about scope and limitations, not just strengths.
The Complete Step-by-Step Guide to Preparing for a Polygraph Test
Polygraph Pass does something most books on the subject refuse to do: it takes the instrument seriously enough to examine it honestly. Rather than either defending the polygraph as a truth machine or dismissing it as pseudoscience, Harlan builds the case from the primary record — the National Research Council's 2003 review, declassified federal training material, and the peer-reviewed psychological literature — and lets the evidence land where it lands. The result is a guide that prepares the reader for the room they will actually sit in, while being straight with them about what the machine can and cannot establish.
— Editorial assessment, The Information Station
The spine of the book is the National Research Council's landmark 2003 review — the most authoritative scientific assessment of the polygraph ever produced — supplemented with declassified federal training documents and peer-reviewed psychology. Readers are pointed to the sources rather than asked to take the author's word.
Most of what determines a polygraph outcome happens before the instrument is attached. The guide gives the pre-test interview the weight it deserves, walking through examiner tactics, question construction, and the psychology of the room.
Blood pressure, respiration, and galvanic skin response are described in plain language, along with the crucial point most coverage omits: none of these signals is unique to deception.
The book does not present countermeasures as tricks. It explains the physiological theory underneath them — which is inseparable from understanding why the instrument's validity is scientifically contested in the first place.
The guide is candid that polygraph accuracy research is thin and methodologically weak, and it says so rather than overselling certainty in either direction.
Relevant/irrelevant, comparison question, and concealed information formats are each broken down, so a reader can recognise the structure of the test they are actually given.
A plain summary of where polygraph results carry legal weight and where they do not — which varies considerably and is widely misunderstood.
Pre-employment screening, security clearance, and internal investigations are the real-world contexts here, and the book is organised around them rather than around abstract theory.

Leave a Review on Amazon →Ivermectin, Fenbendazole & Mebendazole — An Educational Guide
This is the rarest kind of book on this subject: one that neither promotes nor dismisses. Repurposed Cancer Protocols surveys the published literature on ivermectin, fenbendazole and mebendazole in oncology contexts and reports what it actually contains — including, prominently, what it does not contain. Harlan is explicit that no human efficacy has been established and that nothing in the book substitutes for an oncologist. What it offers instead is a map: what has been studied, at what stage, with what result, and how a non-specialist can locate and read those sources without a filter. For readers drowning in confident claims from both directions, the value is precisely the refusal to make one.
— Editorial assessment, The Information Station
The guide leads with the fact that no human efficacy has been established for these compounds in cancer treatment, and that no regulator has approved them for that use. Everything that follows is framed by that.
Claims trace to published journals, clinical-trial registries, and government health databases — not to forums, anecdotes, or influencer summaries.
Ivermectin, fenbendazole and mebendazole are routinely conflated online despite differing in chemistry, approval status, and depth of evidence. The book separates them and explains why the distinction matters.
A recurring emphasis: how to find a study, read its methods, and understand the gap between a mechanistic finding, an animal result, a case report, and a proven human outcome.
Readers are shown how to locate registered trials themselves — and how to tell the difference between a trial being registered, completed, and producing a positive result.
Rather than ignoring the anecdote that drove this topic's popularity, the book examines it and asks what evidentiary weight a single widely-shared story can carry.
Documented safety signals, drug interactions, and contraindications from the literature are presented alongside the mechanisms — not buried.
The stated purpose is to equip a reader to discuss the published research intelligently with a qualified oncologist, not to bypass one.

Surveillance Countermeasures earns its title by covering all four domains rather than the one most books stop at. Digital privacy guides typically end at the smartphone; tradecraft books typically ignore it. Harlan treats phone, vehicle, digital and physical surveillance as a single problem with four surfaces, and draws the methodology from declassified intelligence training, FOIA-released law-enforcement records, and published security research. The tone is methodical rather than paranoid — this is a reference for people with a real reason to be careful, written as though they are adults.
— Editorial assessment, The Information Station
Digital, vehicular, physical and electronic surveillance are each given full treatment, which is unusual — most books in this space cover one and gesture at the rest.
The SDR is the core skill of counter-surveillance, and the book teaches its construction properly: timing, terrain, and the difference between coincidence and correlation.
FOIA-released law-enforcement documents and declassified training material do the heavy lifting, rather than speculation about what agencies might be capable of.
A methodical physical search protocol, the role of RF detection, and the difference between hardwired and battery-powered trackers — with what to do once you find one.
How a cell-site simulator actually impersonates a tower, what it can and cannot capture, and what the public record shows about deployment.
The framing is consistently protective rather than offensive — detecting surveillance aimed at you, securing your own devices, searching your own vehicle.
Why metadata is more revealing than most people assume, and concrete minimisation techniques that do not require technical expertise.
The book is written for people with a legitimate and often urgent reason to know whether they are being watched — including domestic-abuse survivors, a use case most privacy writing ignores.

Leave a Review on Amazon →A Practical Province-by-Province Guide to Fighting Radar, Lidar, DUI & Traffic Court in Canada
The premise of Beating the Ticket is that most drivers lose before they begin — not in court, but at the kitchen table, by paying the fine without ever seeing the evidence. Harlan's answer is procedural rather than rhetorical: request disclosure, read the officer's notes, check the calibration records, and find out whether the case against you is actually complete. The province-by-province structure is what makes it usable, because traffic procedure is provincial and generic advice fails precisely on that point. Notably, the book tells readers when to stop self-representing and hire a lawyer — a line most guides in this genre blur.
— Editorial assessment, The Information Station
The book's central insight is that traffic cases are won by reading the file, not by clever argument. Disclosure — the officer's notes, calibration records, operator certification — is where the weaknesses become visible.
Deadlines, forms, dispute options and the office you write to differ across Canada. What works in Ontario does not work in Alberta, and the book is structured around that reality.
The Doppler principle, beam width, the cosine effect, and lidar sweep error are explained accurately — including where each favours the driver and where it does not.
Concrete guidance on questioning device calibration, operator training, and target identification — the three links every speed reading depends on.
On impaired driving the book is unambiguous: the stakes are criminal, and it says to retain counsel rather than self-represent.
Fines are set to make contesting feel not worth it. The book surfaces the deferred cost — demerit points and insurance premiums compounding over years — that makes the calculation look very different.
No legal background assumed. The procedures are laid out as steps a non-lawyer can actually follow.
Distracted driving, careless driving and impaired-driving charges each get treatment, rather than the book being a speeding-ticket manual with a broad title.
