Genesis

By no means is this the best fiction book Ive read. I know that Harbinson put an incredible amount of research into the book, even fleshing the premise out to an entire series (Projekt Saucer) and a non-fiction book describing the theory of earth-based flying saucers. The plot, in spite how far out it may seem, is laid out such that it seems chillingly plausible. While large sections of the book are long, and seem too much like Im reading a textbook, I find the premise facinating. The idea that these flying saucers, and alien abductions are some sort of pre-cursor to one mans desire for world domination gives me chills. So much so, this book is one on a short list of books Ive read more than once (Im finishing my second go-around with it). I guess my largest issue isnt what he says, but how he says it. The book can be very dry at times, and there are long stretches of dialogue that sound more like a college professor lecturing a class than what you might expect in a sci-fi thriller novel. The book itself never really draws me into it; I enjoy the book because Ive already been interested in UFOs ever since watching the X-Files growing up. Thus, I would recommend the book really only to people who believe in UFOs and the air of conspiracy that surrounds them. They would be far easier converts than someone looking for a fast-paced sci-fi novel.

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.

Genesis is a great read for people who want to believe in ET and conspiracies. The research into WWII for the baseline and intertwining into the here and now work flawlessly although it can slow the storyline at times. I just started Phoenix so more to come!

I was extremely disappointed with this book, as I read immediately after the first books in the Projekt Saucer series, Inception and Phoenix. The Wilson character is more bland in Genesis. Also, the book is way too long and has unnecessary swearing and crudity. Fans of

I discovered this book when it first came out and fell in love with it. Cant tell you how many times Ive read it. Went out and found the other 4 books of the series although only 3 of the series is available on Kindle. It was written and released in full in Britain but not here in North America.

I dont have anything good to say about this book. I was looking for a book called Genesis when I found this one but this is not the one I was looking for. I will keep looking.

This book was mentioned by a Coast to Coast AM caller, and I was intrigued enough to purchase it. To be honest, Im only about a third of the way through it at this time, but I wanted to field a couple of thoughts to those who might be considering this purchase. Im intrigued by the general concept, as I understand it thus far, but the syntax of the writing leaves a great deal to be desired. I have not noted an enormous number of spelling errors thus far, but there have been a few incorrect words which throw off the flow of the reader. Back to syntax, however... The author really, Really, REALLY likes writing with commas, but doesnt have (in my opinion) a true grasp of how to use them elegantly. So much of what Ive read could have been stated much more eloquently by compositing sentences rather than using comma after comma after comma to present descriptions. In too many cases, the descriptions would appear to feed back on themselves rather than clearly addressing the initial subject. A lot of the writing feels very repetitious, with descriptions or details repeated. A good editor would have been able to do wonders for this book, but as it is, too much of it feels... stilted. It is making it a chore for me to read, although I want to uncover the story and see it through. I mainly submit this to counter the horrible review which has been made and to clarify what I believe the other reader may have meant, based upon my own observations. The structure could use a lot of work in many places. Many, many places. (syntax) I will update this once I finish the book.

Did the Nazis develop advanced technology during World War II and manage to hide it from their conquerers? Did they have round aircraft that could attain speeds beyond the sound barrier with unmatched maneuverability? In short, did the Nazis build flying saucers? This book alleges that they did, and although it is a novel, the author has based it on actual reports and used real people and real events in the story, which revolves around UFO investigators who manage to find the truth. That truth, as explicated in this book, is that all modern sightings of flying saucers, beginning in the 1890s, are NOT from outer space, but are from earth. They are the descendants of the highly secret Nazi programs to build advanced weapons. If any of this is true, it is a good thing WWII ended when it did because the outcome might have been very different if it had lasted longer and the Nazis could have completed their weapons programs. Trumans decision to drop the bomb may have been a very good one. The actual story of Genesis has some flaws and I thought some of the characters were a bit over the top, with crude profanity, drunkenness and insane behavior. Of course, facing threats and ridicule is never good for ones mental health, but I did not find the characters endearing, and the book does not actually have a main character. What makes this book a really good read is the ideas in it and the possibility that there could be some truth in these events. If this subject interests you, do a Google search on Nazis flying saucers and Antarctica and see what turns up. At the least, youll find the listings entertaining, if not a bit frightening. Harbinson wrote this book way back in 1980 (I acquired a 1983 printing of the paperback at a used book sale) and it seems the speculation on this topic is as strong as ever. More information has been made available since the fall of the Soviet Union, and the conspiracy theorists have been embellishing the basic plot as more bits of information appear about the Nazi dispersion after the war. Did some of them escape to underground facilities that had been built during the war in Antarctica? I dont think Nazi flying saucers is the answer to all the UFO sightings and alleged encounters, but neither can I dismiss (or forget) the intriguing plot of this book.

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.
