Genesis

The author has constructed an almost plausible tale about the terrestrial origins of UFOs. It is centered around the incredible American genius, John Wilson, who is Leonardo, Goddard, Von Braun, Machiavelli, and even more. It brings a new perspective to the fields of UFOology and post-WW2 history. There is, however, one obscure, but well documented fact the author did not use. The computer was invented in Nazi Germany by one Konrad Zuse and this did not interest the military one bit. Were the Germans generals less astute than their American counterparts or did they have a much better computer? And would such a computer have allowed them to solve the mysteries of gravity & inertia? So also read the autobiography of Zuse (available in English) and think about it. This, Mr. Harbinson, might give you material for a third volume in the Genesis series, nicht wahr?

This book chronicles the whole hidden history of the UFO phenomenon quite well and gives an interesting alternative theory involving the so-called alien presence. Read it to have the UFO facts put into perspective and give it to your friends who are intelligent enough to perceive the true reality of which UFOs constitute a integral part. My only problem with the book is that I couldnt find any more volumes or copies of the book once I realized what I had read. This is a book to seek out and hang on to.

repetition and lack of proof reading makes some of this book a drudge to read. Given these shortcomings and forgiving multiple typos encountered during the read and, focusing on the end result....a rollicking good story, badly written, I survived reading this book.

I had read the book back in the late 1980s and had wanted to re-read it. It did not hold the facination I previously had with the information presented. Maybe, the story line isnt as interesting because of all the programs on television which presents a different viewpoint.

Now Im not an editor but I do notice errors in almost everything I read. I just have an eye for them. Usually I find one, maybe two. But this book had spelling and grammatical errors on every page. At first I thought maybe it was part of the experience but it wasnt. It was so bad I found myself not even paying attention to the story but just looking for the next error. I sent it back after I was half way thru. It made me nervous.

I have read this book twice in the past, both times in paperback verssion. I loved it! I recently bought it for my Kindle and was very disappointed when I began reading it. It is obvious the publisher only used a spell check program on the book and didnt have someone actually read it. Dropped words. Repeated words. Wrong words (can you say autocorrect?). All of these errors are very distracting and break the flow of the story when you have to try to figure out what word is missing, or what the word should really be. Did I mention I am only on chapter 4? I am very disappointed in the quality of this book.

If you are a follower of UFO lore and reports, this is a fascinating book. Considering when this book was written, it takes many of the actual reported UFO cases through history, weaves them into a spellbinding plot, and comes up with a surprisingly contemporary conclusion. It has all the elements of good adventure tales; a tenacious hero determined to find the truth, secret government agents, global conspiracy, and of course UFOs.

my mother ( one of the many WWII German war brides had given me this book back in the 80s after she had read it...was hooked from the get go and couldnt put it down !. It opened my eyes to the terrestrial theory of the UFO phenomena, and to this day have wondered why Spielberg hasnt made a movie of it.

After reading this book twice now, I still feel that it is one of the best books that I have ever read. It seems to be a timeless book, one that will still be entertaining long after flying discs fill the sky. Apart from the fact that it is a gripping book which you will be hard pressed to put down, I personally find it inspiring. There are several good ideas presented within the context of those pages that definitely merit a deeper look at. Dont take my word for it, however, look and decide for yourself. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

I first read this book twenty odd years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it . . . saw it in the Kindle store, bought it, and enjoyed it just as much the second time round. Harbinson writes a great UFO story based on his extensive archival research, and the whole premise of the novel will thrill the conspiracy theorist in you. If words like UFO and conspiracy get your mind working, grab this one . . . and wonder, what if
