 anti-gravity history October 2, 2005

This book had me on the edge of my seat. It is a very well written and suspenseful. It sticks to real science without getting into UFOism. I had a hard time putting it down and going to bed. Highly recommended especially since energy is a popular subject these days.

It's a very interesting reading, actually almost a thriller. The author provides a lot of historical facts, his own adventures, thoughts, investigations - however, most of the questions he poses still remain unanswered after you close the back cover of the book, but nevertheless, it's enjoyng to read the book!
The Black world of Secrets October 5, 2006
Robert C. Olson (Vacaville, California USA)

An Absolute Must read for anyone interested in the esoteric BLACK world of aviation development. Mr. Cook is a noted aviation editor for Jane's Defence Weekly. His investigation into this secret world is enlightening to say the least. He talks to the right people and investigates the "right stuff". His assumptions are spot on and only whets the appetite for more. I do hope there is a follow-up to this most interesting investigation. The good news is that Mr. Cook writes in an easy laid back style that the layman can understand, not too many gee-whiz words and the concepts are explained in down to earth layman's language. As a retired military and airline pilot I became so engrossed in the book that I read it in one night. Again, Highly informative and a must for those interested in the "whys" and "how comes" of today's secret aviation world. The historical background on German WW II Black Programs was extremely interesting and worth a whole new examination of that sordid part of OUR historical record.
As Hamlet so eloquently said, "There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio than are dreamt of in your philosophy".
Highly recommend.

I won't summarize as others have done that better than I could (see Seeger's review) but Cook has taken what could have been a very dry investigation and presented it in an interesting and very enjoyable read. I really enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I expected one of those books where I'd read about 7-8 pages and fall asleep. Instead, I could barely put it down. Good investigative reporting presented in a great manner. What he finds really made me think. Great job Mr.Cook! I'm ready for the next adventure.
A fascinating story June 28, 2003

I read this book with skepticism, much as the author had while experiencing the story, and by the end I was very much convinced of the validity of Nick Cook's argument. This book covers much of the mysterious phenomena and stories of the 20th century, including the Philadelphia Experiment, TT Brown, Podkletnov, Bob Lazar, the B-2 bomber, Aurora, and an explanation for UFO sightings. If you know your history well, the timeline presented is quite reasonable, and it's easy to see the relationship between the end of WW2 and the rise of UFO sightings in America. Cook follows along the trail of clues over the course of a decade, working much like a detective, learning the story as he goes. I only wish I could know the answers to the puzzles of this story! We can all hope that some day, the answers will be revealed and a new generation of humanity, free from the chains of gravity, can arise. The only worry I have is should humanity be permitted access to zero point energy, seeing as the most horrible bomb ever built could be constructed and quite easily destroy our entire planet. It's a good, fast read, and you won't want to put it down once you get into it.
