Genesis Machine

By James P. Hogan

Book Overview

Brad Clifford's theory was just applied mathematics -- but its implications were too hot for the frozen minds of his superiors. So they buried it -- and him -- under wraps of secrecy. Then Aubrey Philipsz, iconoclast and fellow genius, appeared on the scene to build the Genesis Machine Clifford's theory made possible. Suddenly, all weapons seemed useless before the previously unimagined power of the Genesis Machine. It could wreck a world or save it -- and the men who ruled that world on a path of disaster now fought to gain control of this new force. But Clifford and Philipsz had another goal, another dream. They were reaching for the stars! "In the grand tradition of the classic super-science stories, but with more exciting science and with better writing, too. What more can anyone want?" -- Isaac Asimov

Customer Reviews

very entertaining

It's interesting how a book written in 1978 that depicts events set in the 2000s describes advances in technology and portrays an alternate future (present). The characters are very reminiscent of a number of academic scientists (and the bureaucrats they sometimes come up against) who I know, which makes for an entertaining read.

Great!

Kept me interested until the end - very suspenseful

Sc-Fi at it's best
