Editorial Reviews

Product Description
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely first rate hard science fiction, February 18, 1999
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Just like I remembered, June 2, 2009
By Don Fief (Albany, OR, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!
