The Greer Citizen: Review by Leland Burch, Editor Emeritus

The hellish beam tore into the enemy-s shielding, causing the ship to rock. The effect upon the LZ was immediate and intense as the thunderous echoes of battle now became a steady roar. Within seconds, the enemy ship ceased firing.

-Good God,- whispered Garcia as he lowered his weapon to shield his eyes. The Apollo-s beam weapon chewed at the enemy-s shielding, but the radiant heat forced Garcia to retreat. Seeking refuge, he moved towards the west gate to use the Humvee as a heat shield.

Green slouched behind his 50-caliber to shield himself from the intense heat, -This is insane! We-re like little insects watching two dinosaurs battle it out!-

This passage is from the adventure novel, -Zero Point - Power of the gods-, by William James.
The book follows two college professors on a journey to inspect recently discovered artifacts in Mammoth Cave. An astrophysicist and an ex-navy join them in exploring a new area of the cavern where they find an alien spacecraft that apparently has been waiting 6,000 years for its owners to return. The discovery rapidly becomes a high-stakes adventure for a future without dependency upon fossil fuels and even the survival of humanity.

Based on science and history, the novel builds on an ancient history to take a bold leap forward as mankind discovers how extra-terrestrials have harnessed Zero Point Energy, the universe-s unlimited source of free energy. 

-Zero Point- should be required reading for middle school students, for it will open young minds to the endless possibilities of exotic future scientific discoveries and space travel. The book would make a fantastic movie, matching the excitement delivered by the Indiana Jones box office hits.

Product Description

When Professors James Flanagan and Thomas Nellings from Brooklyn College of Natural History embark on a trip to Kentucky to inspect recently discovered artifacts in Mammoth Cave, they expect to find typical North American remains. But from the moment they inspect the artifacts, they know their lives have changed forever.

The first indication of anything unusual is the discovery of cuneiform hieroglyphics-the earliest form of writing dating back 6,000 years in Mesopotamia. It's a mystery how writing of this kind has found its way to the United States. As Flanagan and Nellings explore deeper into the cavern, the pair discern a unique energy form; this Zero Point Energy could be the Holy Grail to unlimited energy which unscrupulous people would do anything to own. But they are truly shocked when they find an alien spacecraft ensconced deep below the earth.

Their routine investigation quickly turns into a high-stakes adventure that could eliminate humanity's dependence on fossil fuels. Flanagan and Nellings could lose their lives or usher in a new age of peace and prosperity. But will humanity survive long enough to make the transition?

Amazon Verified Purchase

I recently took a trip with my wife and was disappointed to find that not only had I forgotten the book that I had planned to read on our week long vacation but there was not a decent open book store to be found in town! With rough weather threatening to keep us indoors I had to act fast. So I hopped on my iPhone Kindle app and found Zero Point: power of the gods. After reading the generous amount of sample chapters I was hooked! What a fun story, This great new adventure series is off to a BANG of a start! Although I found that that I'm now going to have to wait for the second installment I will tell you that I will be one of the first to make the purchase. Not to worry; there's no crazy cliff-hanger here to worry about. The author, William James had mercy and did provide the reader with a good resolution while letting us know that there is still some unfinished business and much to look forward to!

Thanks Mr. James for such a fun new adventure!

This book is fantastic. I wasn't able to put it down. It takes the reader on an unexpected fast-paced adventure. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment. If I were rich I would buy the movie rights.
