The definitive book on the amazing similarities between Theodore Kaczynski and the Zodiac has now been published and is readily available in standard book format.

Drawing on his research of the past ten years, author Douglas Evander Oswell has painstakingly assembled a collection of similarities so compelling that the reader will find himself inexorably drawn to one of two conclusions. He will conclude either that the story of the Unabomber and the Zodiac forms the most incredible case of parallel evolution in the realm of criminal lore, or that Ted Kaczynski was, in fact, the taunting killer who terrorized the state of California in 1969.

Based on official documentation, court records, newspaper articles, personal correspondences, and the evidence taken from Kaczynski's shack, The Unabomber and the Zodiac discloses a plethora of similarities that are calculated to strike its readers with a sense of wonderment and awe. Through a straightforward and logical presentation of the facts, they will marvel at the connection between two criminal cases that appear upon their faces as unique, each a fabled story in and of itself.

The text is divided into thirteen chapters, beginning with an analysis of the psychology and criminal motivations of each subject and progressing through the comparisons of criminal signature, publicity-seeking, proximity, physical descriptions, mathematical references, intellectual eclecticism, literary allusion, ciphers and meta-codes, compositional tone and style, and handwriting. In the interest of fairness, the author has devoted some space to presenting (and rebutting) the classical objections to a connection between the cases. These include the possibility of an alibi, disparities in physical descriptions, fingerprint analysis, and the lack of incriminating evidence among Kaczynski's personal effects. The book concludes with a summation of the similarities and a simple exercise that demonstrates the statistical probability of any person possessing all the qualities ascribed in common to both killers, calculated conservatively at one in nearly two billion.

The Unabomber and the Zodiac contains not only a fascinating analysis of the similarities between the killers, but an informative, serious and well-documented look at two historical cases whose names have become part of the American vernacular.
