Really enjoy a well researched book. Subject matter couldn't be more fascinating. Reads as a detective novel. Other books on this subject feel circumstancial and speculative, so it is refreshing to have a guy "pounding the pavement" perspective. I felt like if Nick corroborates the information then you can bet that something is there. If this subject is new to you then, this should be the first book you read. Makes really high tech stuff comprehensible, for the dummer people like me.

This is a very interesting book because the author is an editor for Jane's Defense Weekly which is a main stream defense industry publication.
He has a lot of contacts in the defense industry which gives him access to people and places which are not available to most people.
He postulates that perhaps entire industries exist in the world which are trying to solve technical problems that were in reality solved decades ago. These "white" industries serve as the utlimate smoke screen to hide the secrets that only the elite know.
As he delves deeper and deeper in his quest to discover the truth about the "black" projects he begins to feel that the bad guys are beginning to watch him. That's when the nightmares start.
It appears that around the time of World War 2 a race began to discover secrets which, although they seem new to us, were known in very ancient times on Atlantis and in Egypt.
Nuclear energy was one of these rediscovered "technologies" but there are others which (if this can even be imagined) are infinitely more powerful and potentially more dangerous than nuclear.
According to the Edgar Cayce material it was the abuse of some sort of crystal based technology that led to the various destructions of Atlantis which now rests in its watery grave.
One of the main ideas is that there is an infinite source of clean, free, energy available to the world in what Plato and the ancients called the "aether".
As people continue to delve into the sub atomic world they are perhaps seeing God's infinite creative powers. A force which can become anything and which can do anything.
It is only recently that people have begun to fathom to true nature of the mysterious Great Pyramid in Egypt. The pyramid was a machine and it used an aether based physics similar to what Nick talks about in this book.
Towards the end of the book Nick talks about a very mysterious Canadian guy named John Hutchison. Hutchison was at one time able to repeatedly create strange anti gravity and alchemical effects in his laboratory. The problem was even he didn't know how it worked or what the "Hutchison Effect" was going to do. During one test the concrete floor started to catch on fire.
For whatever reasons the information in this book has not made it into the main stream yet. Perhaps this is just as well for now.
Nick did a lot of travelling and research for this book. He includes a lot of background information about Nazi Germany which is where quantum mechanics started.
There's a typo on page 271:
"A thousand kilowatts are a megawatt and a thousand megawatts are a gigawatt. A thousand terawatts, Markus told me, were a terawatt."
The mysterious "Dr. Dan Marckus" is one of the people in the book who was not identified by their real names.
I feel like I can sort of relate to or identify with the Dan Marckus character for some reason. Perhaps subconsiously I would like to become one of these mad scientist types like Nikola Tesla.

Reads like a thriller novel September 27, 2007
Great read. Well detailed with references included. Faded a bit in the last chapter (like he needs to release a sequel) but detailed enought to satisfy all but the most techno0savvy. Hard to put this one down.
Many Thanks, Nick Cook! September 16, 2007

Nick Cook starts his Hunt for Zero Point as an adventure story : which is as it should be, for all research into the unknown - especially the well-guarded unknown! - IS an adventure!
By the time one gets to mid-point, one is dismayed by Cook's lack of time for consequentially-lengthened investigation, very impressed by the intense effort he manages to squeeze into his limited available time, and appalled at the apparent lack of progress - on the surface, at least, of scientific research into truly new, viable technologies. One is also aware, however, of a secret world guarding its secrets well, with state-sanctioned, Gestapo-like tactics where and when necessary.
There is a noticeable transition between the first and second parts of his book, the point where Nick finally gets his teeth into real empirical research done decades before under appalling wartime conditions and horrendous cost in human sacrifice, and which shows up in crass comparison today's multi-billion-dollar, corporately-funded, sheeplike sinecures of thought-catechised academia timidly testing the water without really getting its toes wet, and what concerted human effort is capable of when conditions necessitate experiment, rather than theory, and when ivory-towers have to go by the board.
Most of all, one is appalled by the implicit idiocy of Western, sanitised-for-our-protection, pseudo-scientific consensus-psychosis orthodox "science", and the between-the-lines awareness that Mankind has never left the pattern of a socially-imposed, mandatory infallibility of its leading alpha males, as in any monkey or baboon tribe, so that any truly new research results are met with the exorcism of their discoverer.
The sharpish transition between the first and second halves of the book might appear to be an attempt to justify the meaty part, the second half, by the dry bread Cook has of necessity exhausted in the first half, in order to justify going out on a limb in research otherwise unacceptable to the orthodox, and the fact that Cook has introduced, as his scientific backup, an unnameable mentor in the form of a shadowy father-figure ostensibly related to unspecified research and/or defence establishments, a deus-ex-macchina to lend credence to his own true investigative bent under the Damocles sword of professional catechism by those of lesser intellect but greater position in the hierarchy of things, might seem to confirm this view.
Under obvious professional duress, Nick Cook has done us a real favour : he has gone out on a limb, and whereas his potential critics, mainly the professional nitpickers, button-sorters and bottle-washers of science, who produce little or nothing original themselves and so love to tear others apart, might nibble away at his strict scientific terminologies, he has shown us a real world, in which its hero, Viktor Schauberger, a simple forester but in the strictest sense a true scientific observer, has held out the promise of a better, cleaner world of free energy, understood and utilised only by a desperate Heinrich Himmler's SS, while, even today, almost seventy years after these events, the status-holding alpha males of our human baboon tribe never fail to fail us.
I give Nick Cook four stars for his - in my opinion all-too-short! - book, and a very big, hearty, fat and meaty one final star for having the immense guts to try!
