> 24 hourDid 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.

> 24 hourContrary to the stated info, this book is actually book 3. Ive had it before and believe that Phoenix is book 2. Excellent story and is better for the historical facts that are the kernel from which it grew.

> 24 hourI enjoyed the concept of UFOs originating on earth. Harbinson pieces together an interesting assortment of facts into what becomes a believable story. Having read Inception and Phoenix first there was a lot of duplication but since Genesis was written first, that was ok. If I had not read those first, then all that detail would be necessary.

> 24 hourThe Kindle ebook is full of typographical errors, misspellings, missing words, missing letters, etc. It is very unpleasant to read. The story is interesting so far, but I cant bear the sloppy formatting.

> 24 hourNow 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.

> 24 hourA Saucerful Of Secrets. Here is an interesting book that plays pretty well upon all the crazy UFO conspiracy stuff, so if you have a fondness or liking for that, then you will probably really like this book. Secret locations, covered up bases, all that kind of thing, you get the idea.
