 Why should we read the spoon-fed writings of a military-affairs journal editor? December 2, 2008
According to the book's jacket, Nick Cook was an "aviation editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, the worlds leading military-affairs journal". The way Mr. Cook relates his access to knowledge about "military-affairs" sounds like the typical "homer" sports writer's articles on his local team -- sit in a room with a speaker and regurgitate whatever you're told. Investigative reporting it ain't (or so it seems).
Why is this relevant to the book? Because while Mr Cook seems skeptical of anything that's not "official" he decides to spend years of his time and significant amounts of personal funds to investigate a line of thinking that says the military has been developing secret technologies in the "deep black" for 60+ years.
Perhaps he's pretending to be skeptical of "secret technologies" so you'll believe his story?
I had a bit of a hard time staying with the story as it meandered thru the series of mostly dead-ends as he travelled all over the world to meet various contacts who might "spill the beans" but never really do.
As should be expected, the book proves nothing, but does relate several interesting stories that will feed the faithful.
 Written by a Jane's aerospace writer... May 11, 2008

This book was written by a British aerospace journalist that writes for Jane's. If you are familiar with Jane's then `nuff said. If not, let me put it this way... if Jane's publishes it, you can bet you life on it; and somebody, some where is doing just that as you read this.
Jane's Publications are the gold standard in military technology. End of story.
Let me grossly over simplify, everything in our universe is made from energy in some form...atoms and their components, dark matter... zero point is about tapping into this energy. This book states that this connection has already been made by Nicola Tesla, and that others have done a great deal more in developing this technology.

A fascinating trip through history and government black projects. Nothing in this book is beyond possible. Nick Cook has done a masterful job!

I won't summarize as others have done that better than I could (see Seeger's review) but Cook has taken what could have been a very dry investigation and presented it in an interesting and very enjoyable read. I really enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I expected one of those books where I'd read about 7-8 pages and fall asleep. Instead, I could barely put it down. Good investigative reporting presented in a great manner. What he finds really made me think. Great job Mr.Cook! I'm ready for the next adventure.
Zero Point is a "Must Read" February 17, 2008

This is a very well researched and detailed book. It can be a bit slow at times with all the details, but the author does an excellent job of tying everything together. If you want to know what our "real" government has been up to since WWII, then read this book. The answer will shock you and leave you wondering, "what do they plan to do with this technology and who is actually in control of it".
