Genesis

We bought this as a gift for my Dad. We also bought Projeckt UFO at the same time. I dont think he knew about this book, but he has told us over and over through out the years that he wanted to read Projeckt UFO. Since this book goes with it, we bought them both. He was so happy to get them that he could not wait to read them!! As soon as we left he said he started reading it!!! I will not give any spoilers but he said it was worth the wait. He loves it.

One of my all time favorite novels ever. Read it back in the early 80s when it came out and amazed how many of the ideas still hold up through today. Excellent book and a must read for SciFi fans and UFO buffs everwhere.

Harbinson brought an amazing number of facts and events together to wind quite a fun and intriguing tale. True? God and Wilson alone know. Enjoy!

I discovered this book when it first came out and fell in love with it. Cant tell you how many times Ive read it. Went out and found the other 4 books of the series although only 3 of the series is available on Kindle. It was written and released in full in Britain but not here in North America.

While Genesis is the third book in the Projekt Saucer series, it is the first one Harbinson wrote, and as such it was this book that started the brilliant series. Starting off with a prologue where Allied pilots in 1944 encounter mysterious glowing objects (the feuerballs or Foo fighters), the story then moves onto the main plot, which is set from 1974-1979. The main characters of the story are two American UFO investigators- the young Robert Stanford and the elderly Frederick Epstein. Also featured is an ordinary guy from England, called Richard Watson, who has a not-so-ordinary experience when he is abducted by one of Wilsons flying saucers. For those not familiar with the series, the character John Wilson is the main focus of the entire series- the man who runs the ultra-advanced saucer base in Antarctica and hopes to eventually take over the whole world. After Epstein mysteriously disappears, Stanford goes on a quest to find his old friend and also get to the bottom of the whole flying saucer issue. His journey takes him from the fields of Texas, to the sweltering jungles of Paraguay, and eventually to the frozen wastes of Antarctica. The chapters in the story alternate from third-person chapters showing whats happening to the storys characters in the present, to first-person chapters where Wilson narrates what happened in his past. This works quite well in the story and allows the reader to get a better insight into the UFO mystery that is the main theme of the whole series. As always, the characters are portrayed quite well. Harbinson does a good job, for instance, of portraying Stanfords increasing frustration at being left in the dark over the mystery of the UFOs and their connection to Epsteins disappearance. Eventually, however, Stanford gets all the answers he seeks, but at a price. I wont give away too much though. Read the book to find out what happens. Overall, yet another excellent novel from W. A. Harbinson.

I read this decades ago and always wanted to reread it. Ancient Alien theorists say, Yes! Great book.

Though written so early in the modern UFO age (post-Roswell), some of Harbinsons fictional theses keep poking their heads from the morass that remains the subject all the way to the modern day. The abduction phenomena gets moderate treatment. It doesnt seem to describe the full range of reported phenomena yet will leave the reader with a fascination with exopolitics.

If you are a follower of UFO lore and reports, this is a fascinating book. Considering when this book was written, it takes many of the actual reported UFO cases through history, weaves them into a spellbinding plot, and comes up with a surprisingly contemporary conclusion. It has all the elements of good adventure tales; a tenacious hero determined to find the truth, secret government agents, global conspiracy, and of course UFOs.

I had read the book back in the late 1980s and had wanted to re-read it. It did not hold the facination I previously had with the information presented. Maybe, the story line isnt as interesting because of all the programs on television which presents a different viewpoint.

Genesis is a great read for people who want to believe in ET and conspiracies. The research into WWII for the baseline and intertwining into the here and now work flawlessly although it can slow the storyline at times. I just started Phoenix so more to come!
