In 1966 a group of highly respected aerospace engineers revealed that US scientists were perfecting ways to control gravity. They predicted a breakthrough would come by the end of the decade, ushering in an era of limitless, clean propulsion for a new breed of fuelless transport systems - and weapons beyond our imagination. Of course it never happened. Or did it? Forty years later a chance encounter with one of the engineers who made that prediction forces a highly sceptical aerospace and defence journalist, Nick Cook, to consider the possibility that America did indeed crack the gravity code - and has covered up ever since. His investigations moved from the corridors of NASA to the dark heartland of America's classified weapons establishment, where it became clear that half a century ago, in the dying days of the Third Reich, Nazi scientists were racing to perfect a Pandora's Box of high technology that would deliver Germany from defeat. History says that they failed. But the trail that takes Cook deep into the once-impenetrable empire of SS General Hans Kammler - the man charged by Adolf Hitler with perfecting German secret weapons technology - says otherwise. In his pursuit of the true facts behind Kammler, Cook finally establishes the truth: America is determined to hang onto its secrets, but the stakes are enormous and others are now in the race to acquire a suppressed technology.

Breathless and contrived.

Nick Cook is a very charming and enthusiastic writer, however there is in the end a vacuity to this book that left me speed reading and scanning through chunks just to get to the damn end. For any serious student of fringe science, there is really nothing here. It is a breathless but contrived compendium of several loosely connected myths and unsupported rumours, written as if the author is too polite to admit that it is all a bit of speculative fun. TLDR: there may be a secret anti gravity research program, and also there may not, there is really no convincing proof.

I bought this book because it is mentioned a lot in the other "alternative science" books I have been reading recently. The author is a serious researcher and writer for "Jane's Defence Weekly" with expertise in aerospace, he is most definitely not a hotel owner. The style of the book is quite chatty but Cook delivers a lot of interesting facts in a very easily digestible format. He relates his search for Hans Kammler and some of the more esoteric technology allegedly developed by the Nazis and which were taken by the Allies (especially the USA) at the end of the war. Much of what they stole is still classified very top secret even if you can finds out anything at all. For this reason Cook spends his time tracking down what original sources still exist in Germany and Poland in the areas where the Nazis had their own Area 51.

Whatever your views on the subject matter: zero point energy, anti-gravity, Nazi atom bombs and stealth technology, and flying disks, Cook does a very thorough job of investigating. I am convinced that the Nazis were at least 10 years ahead of the allies in technology which could be weaponised. I believe is possible that they did develop the technologies Cook investigates, and I am certain the the USA, or "big business" has suppressed ANY technology which would remove oil as king. For anyone who thinks the US government could not keep something so important secret for so long, they managed it with stealth for 10 years and don't forget all the people who, despite the evidence, assert that the Holocaust did not happen. Excellent book whatever your personal opinions.

And even wikipedia seems to have a better grasp of the "speculative" part

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2015

Written by a Jane's journalist, this book is a strange thing. You've got a first part well documented, very sane, then it goes to the sensational and not so well founded pseudo-truth. The last chapter, around the Hutchison effect and Hutchison's own life, seems wedged in something completly different. And even wikipedia seems to have a better grasp of the "speculative" part, about skoda's world war II involvement...
I disagree with author's thesis, but there is a trove of information in this book. Use it as a starting point, not as "the Truth".

Bought this for a friend having shared a few tails from this book, its another of those "can it be true??" books. It is well written in the sense it will draw you in, puts up a convincing argument for the Zero Point energy theory. As I work with Particles Physicists and they have never heard of this phenomena then I guess its just a great story. As with all these books there no answer in the end.

If you like these things, and I do, its a great read !

Brilliant book about the history of the search for 'anti-gravity' technology. Written by a very knowledgable man who knows his subject well, it's like something out of the X-Files but it actually happend in real life. This is a very interesting and well written book that handles a subject shrouded in secrecy that most authors would avoid for fear of being branded a kook or a conspiracy nut, but Nick Cook has pulled it off and has ended up with something you'll read more than once

A more realistic take on 'lights in the sky'. We may not know what is out there, but we appear to have much clearer picture of what we have here.

If you would like to understand what has been going on with UFOs, anti gravity and an alternate history since WW2 then read this book. It will open your mind.
