First published June 3056, I Want to Believe was a conspiracy theory book written by Piper Anderson.[1]
Overview[edit]
The book details numerous conspiracy theories, the biggest one being the supposed psychic visions of ComStar Primus Adrienne Sims that included amazingly specific references to the Clans - eighty years prior to the Clan Invasion. Though not discounting this was evidence of the unlikely possibility that Sims actually did possess such "higher powers of the mind", a skeptical Ms. Anderson discussed other theories for how Sims could learn of the existence of the Clans prior to the Invasion, such as covert contact between the Inner Sphere and the Clan Homeworlds similar to the more modern known mission of Wolf's Dragoons.[1]
Piper Anderson focused on the colorful theory that elements of Clan Wolverine indeed survived their Trial of Annihilation and reached the Inner Sphere as the mysterious "Minnesota Tribe", later infiltrating ComStar to trigger conflict between the Great Houses and the Clans in the hopes that both sides would destroy the other. Ms. Anderson discussed the possibility that Sims was either an outright Wolverine descendant or non-Wolverine manipulated by them to spread word of her "visions" as a calculated move to foment hostilities while masking how knowledge of the Clans reached the Inner Sphere.[1]
