Steven Sora (1952-2021) had been researching historical enigmas since 1982 and was the author of several books, including The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar and Secret Societies of America’s Elite. A regular contributor to Atlantis Rising magazine, he was featured in the History Channel movie Holy Grail in America and on the TV show America Unearthed on History Channel 2.
Sora's informative new book is a must for those eager for the truth about the secret roles played by the medieval Knights Templar, the Rosicrucians, and Freemasonry in the founding of the 'New Atlantis.' Now more than ever the world needs the truth about the individuals and the tenets they held dear, which was the secret blueprint for the founding of America. What was long 'hidden in plain sight,' Sora skillfully 'brings into the light.' * Scott F. Wolter, forensic geologist, host of the Travel Channel's America Unearthed * Steven Sora has done it again. Following up on his immensely popular The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar, Steven has woven another tapestry of well-researched, entertaining narrative, which provides America with many of the answers that the nation's collective psyche currently seeks so desperately. Indeed, Rosicrucian America offers its readers a glimpse into the spiritual inspiration and alchemical transformation that provided much of the basis for the founding of the United States of America. * William F. Mann, Supreme Grand Master of the Sovereign Great Priory--Knights Templar of Canada * What fun I had reading this book! Steven Sora has connected so many of my favorite topics into one woven tale--a real page-turner. For 50 years I've been studying the German Pietists of provincial Pennsylvania, the authorship question of William Shakespeare, the far-reaching influence of Sir Francis Bacon and Dr. John Dee, and William Penn's hidden reasons for coming to America, among other topics in this book, but it took Stephen Sora to flesh it all out with the latest research and put it all together in one brilliant volume. Like the alchemical goal of a Rosicrucian, this book will transmute your appreciation for the destiny of America. * Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D., author of Founding Fathers, Secret Societies * . . . explores ideals that evolved through the Crusades, the Renaissance, and the Enlightenment. Both known and unknown adepts worked to weave together the threads of intellectual, philosophical, and spiritual principles that gave birth to a unique new nation: conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. That Rosicrucian vision survives to this day and is well presented in these pages. * James Wasserman, author of The Templars and the Assassins * Textbook versions of early American history comprise little more than a propaganda veneer obscuring the occult forces that really drove the British colonization of our continent. Nowhere are these sub-rosa influences more credibly exposed and their leading conspirators better identified than by Steven Sora in his latest book, Rosicrucian America. * Frank Joseph, author of Power Places and the Master Builders of Antiquity *
