Les Csizi: This book tells some reports about the hidden industry run by shady companies, talking from postwar clean-up by G.I's that the average Jo doesn't know. Yet still keep only imagining what is going on at Scunkwork,area51, and what was given away from the German

Phil Daikens: I have always felt in the pit of my stomach there is more to the universe and science than we know. I didn't take the book at face value or enter this world with a closed mind. I had to verify a lot of names and fact as I went through it. Thank you Nick for a most informative read, and giving me a sense i am not cursed with an over active imagination with no substance behind it.

Scribbler: A very readable book that captures the imagination and takes the reader with it until the very last page. Personally I would have liked footnotes and more thorough references but the subject matter means that this is difficuilt to put in to practice - consequently the author's almost Raymond Chandler writing style is a good choice here. Overall this is much more readable than other tomes on this subject. The whole German disc myth is dealt with elsewhere (on the internet especially, where hearsay is pronounced as fact) in various ways and one is inclined to reserve judgement for various reasons but here we have a defence journalist writing on these matters, which lends weight to the reader keeping an open mind.
The book is actually about the pursuit of aerospace propulsion technology, and how this is meshed in with 'sightings' and rumours of secret developments in this field during and after the second world war. As such it is educated speculation, but none the worse for that. There is also a channel 4 film which he made and anyone reading this book may also be interested in reading other works, such as 'FLYING SAUCER TECHNOLOGY' by Bill Rose; 'FLYING SAUCER AIRCRAFT' by...

Jeff Marzano: This is a very interesting book because the author is an editor for Jane's Defense Weekly which is a main stream defense industry publication.
He has a lot of contacts in the defense industry which gives him access to people and places which are not available to most people.
He postulates that perhaps entire industries exist in the world which are trying to solve technical problems that were in reality solved decades ago. These "white" industries serve as the utlimate smoke screen to hide the secrets that only the elite know.
As he delves deeper and deeper in his quest to discover the truth about the "black" projects he begins to feel that the bad guys are beginning to watch him. That's when the nightmares start.
It appears that around the time of World War 2 a race began to discover secrets which, although they seem new to us, were known in very ancient times on Atlantis and in Egypt.
Nuclear energy was one of these rediscovered "technologies" but there are others which (if this can even be imagined) are infinitely more powerful and potentially more dangerous than nuclear.
According to the Edgar Cayce material it was the abuse of some...

George-Peter Paxinos: Nick Cook starts his Hunt for Zero Point as an adventure story : which is as it should be, for all research into the unknown - especially the well-guarded unknown! - IS an adventure!
By the time one gets to mid-point, one is dismayed by Cook's lack of time for consequentially-lengthened investigation, very impressed by the intense effort he manages to squeeze into his limited available time, and appalled at the apparent lack of progress - on the surface, at least, of scientific research into truly new, viable technologies. One is also aware, however, of a secret world guarding its secrets well, with state-sanctioned, Gestapo-like tactics where and when necessary.
There is a noticeable transition between the first and second parts of his book, the point where Nick finally gets his teeth into real empirical research done decades before under appalling wartime conditions and horrendous cost in human sacrifice, and which shows up in crass comparison today's multi-billion-dollar, corporately-funded, sheeplike sinecures of thought-catechised academia timidly testing the water without really getting its toes wet, and what concerted human effort is capable of when conditions...
