Wereldwijde intriges om te voorkomen dat de mensheid op bepaalde terreinen van de wetenschap teveel vorderingen maakt. Moord, doodslag, geheimzinnige gebeurtenissen, gevaarlijke intriganten, en bovendien nog een belangrijke rol voor UFO's (unidentified flying objects). Thriller met een sf-tintje,

geschreven in de trant van de Ludlum-bestsellers. Literaire waarde gering, maar als thriller is het geheel wel spannend en door de (semi-)wetenschappelijke onderbouwing bovendien leerzaam, ook voor wie absoluut niet in UFO's gelooft. Omvangrijk amusement voor wie houdt van breed opgezette, goed gedocumenteerde avonturenromans. Wel zéér kleine letter. Show Less

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.

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:
