 "We have the technology". April 11, 2009
T. E. Bozarth (Houston, TX USA)
I am surprised that Mr. Cook was able to publish his work without considerable interference from either the U.S. and/or U.K. governments, or those with enormous financial interests in seeing that ZPE utilization is NEVER available to the world at large. This may be due to that fact that the material covered in Mr. Cook's book borders on the unbelieveable and could be dismissed as the product of an over-active imagination. An open mind is required.
But, "The truth is out there", my modest cross-checking validates his thorougly researched and excellently written work, at least to my satisfaction. Mr. Cook's opus fills in another piece of what may be the ultimate puzzle. I thank him for his determined dedication to the truth.
A fantastic read! May 6, 2009

I was enthralled with this book. It presents the reader with a first hand look into the covert world of government funded black projects. Nick Cook's credentials reinforce the credibility of this fascinating work and I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the dark world of clandestine projects.

Often these subjects of "antigravity" and "zero point energy" are relegated to the fringe bookshelves of bookstores. Aerospace writer Cook shows why they shouldn't be. He details the history of these projects and tries to draw out facts from what has been declassfied and sort through misinformation. There's a wide range of info on "black projects" from what we did with the Nazi scientists and their projects, to what people call "UFOs" to stealth technology. Belongs in anyone's aerospace/secret-government-project bookshelf along with classics like Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed. For more on what we learned from German scientists after the war, see Hitler's Suppressed and Still-Secret Weapons, Science and Technology.

A fringe of researchers (and their readers) have been aware of the existence of the types of secretive projects Cook outlines in this book for a while now. However, it is unique that an editor of Jane's Defense Weekly is now owning up to the fact that for the past decade, he has been deeply and personally involved in this field of research, and is indeed a "believer." You probably will be too, after reading this book.It turns out that the Nazi's had some success tapping into the Zero Point Energy Field, and were well on the way to building a completely new type of antigravity aircraft/infinite power supply/super weapon. At the end of WWII, the Soviets and Americans managed to scoop up not only the scientists involved in this research (many of whom were blatant Nazi sympathizers), but also the devices they had been developing. These technologies have since gone "deep black," that is to say, have been buried in the deepest recesses of the military industrial complex and intelligence apparatus. But it seems that this whole underworld may have become contaminated by the Nazi thought-virus, and even to this day shares, to some degree, the ideology and methodology of the Nazi Secret Service. This is a theme that Cook brings up, but does not fully delve into. It is clear that he is literally frightened by some of the truths he managed to uncover in his decade-long quest for knowledge. Cook avoids tying his research to the UFO phenomenon, which is both good and bad. Good, in that it will probably allow the book to appeal to a much wider audience, and will allow the book a greater degree of credibility. Bad, in that tying these two strands of research together, in an intelligent manner, will most probably yield some truly incredible pieces of information that, as cliche as it sounds, may change our civilization forever. Cook does seem to acknowledge the reality of the UFO situation in the epilogue, however, and it seems safe to assume that this is an area of research he has looked into and found to be a valid, if misunderstood, phenomenon. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. While it is certain to stretch the imagination of many people, it will also go a long way to validating this field of inquiry. Hopefully, this will allow more reasonable and intelligent investigative journalists to enter into the fold. Who knows what they will find there...

The atomic bomb wasn't the only 1940s secret project to interest scientists: antigravity technology was another high priority, and one which may still be under study today. In The Hunt For Zero Point, professional journalist Nick Cook, with his access to key sources in intelligence and military communities, reveals evidence of a search for limitless energy and gravity control. This is a fascinating topic couched in a highly readable text.
