I must admit rating this as 5 stars is a big personal risk as I am conflicted about this book. The book is fiction, as on the author's website, but clearly it makes a strong case for UFO's or flying saucers especially with the extensively documented afterword. I labored through the first 40% or so of the book enjoying the writing style but finding the plot contrived, and implausible. But then something happened and I found the book really compelling and thoroughly enjoyable and atmospheric. Most folk will likely not like this book as it's 'science fiction" but if you do like that genre READ this book.

Plus read these professional reviewers:

'A powerful and imaginative novel that has a quite extraordinary impact… stunning… original… An extraordinary powerful tour de force, a truly epic novel.' -Book Buyer

'Harbinson has drawn so heavily on factual material and integrated it so well into the text that the book begins to read like nonfiction… An impressive achievement… Even determined nonbelievers should find this tour de force fascinating.' -Publishers' Weekly

'A Herculean conspiracy epic… superbly written, crammed with food for thought; it explores powerful and unusual emotions. It's a hit and it should be.' -Los Angeles Times ( )

The author James Herbert writes “I am in awe of this man”. While I would not quite go that far there is no doubt Harbinson is a consummate author and one that I added to my favourite author’s list. ( )
