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 machine Clifford's theory made possible. And all previous science and technology went into a tailspin. Suddenly all weapons seemed useless before the previously unimagined power generated by the Genesis Project. It could wreck a world or save it - and the men who ruled now fought to gain control of this new force. But Clifford and Philipsz had other goals and dreams. They wanted to reach for the stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely first rate hard science fiction,
By dice@bc.sympatico.ca (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Genesis Machine (Hardcover)
This was the first book of Hogan's that I picked up, almost twenty years ago. I was amazed by the story Hogan could tell - an intelligent, well thought out scientific thriller, with believeable characters who acted upon real motives. I have been a huge fan of Hogan's ever since, and have a collection which will be complete as soon as Amazon can find the two out-of-print titles I've ordered. Do yourself a favour and buy everything by Hogan you can get your hands on. This man can write!

5.0 out of 5 stars
very entertaining,
By Beth (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Genesis Machine (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

Just like I remembered,

This review is from: The Genesis Machine (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book over 20 years ago, and have remembered it as one of my favorites. I decided to buy it again, and re-read it. It was just as good as I remembered!
