Greatest book about flying saucers

The amazing Projekt Saucer books are the most fascinating story ever writen about flying saucers. The whole story consist in five books : Book 1 INCEPTION (1991), Book 2 PHOENIX (1995), Book 3 GENESIS (1980), Book 4 MILLENIUM (1995), Book 5 RESURRECTION (1999). Just like George Lucas, Harbinson wrote Eposide 3 first, in 1980, and then the others. If you want to read just one book, read this one, GENESIS. Those books are quite hard to find, but they are all available on website. These five books, representing about 3000 pages written over 20 years are a must-read foranyone interested in flying saucers.

A resonable scenario from a large amount of low quality data

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?

Hard work and good research pay off

Good read. The characters are believable and the pace is excellent. Don't neglect the research that's added after the ending. Harbison details something called Projekt Fuerball, that I'd like to hear our UFO researchers say more about.Just where did he get his info, anyway?

THE touchstone for works in the UFO genre.

Having read this book almost a decade ago, I was recently struck by the similarities between events in the book to the popular TV show, The X-Files. I found my old paperback copy of this book (now quite dog-eared) and re-read it. What a ride! Harbinson has written a a meticulous, spellbinding - and absolutely credible - treatment of UFO phenomena, the Men in Black, and government coverup. A must read for anyone interested in UFO conspiracy theories.

Makes the X-Files look silly by comparison

This is a fantastic example of historical fiction. W.A. Harbinson blends facts and obscure bits of history into a dynamic and gripping tale of conspiracy, UFO hysteria and the truth behind the Nazis. An abosolute must read - Also, never let your friends borrow your copy, you might not get it back.
