Even more intriguing than Inception, Oct 17 2011
By Tartarus - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Phoenix (Paperback)
Phoenix is the second novel in W. A. Harbinson's Projekt Saucer series (the first being Inception).
Set over a years long period, from 1947-1971, Phoenix continues where Inception left off, and shows how the series' main antagonist, the megalomaniacal genius John Wilson, has already set up his secret colony in Antarctica, where he designs more and more advanced and frightening technologies. Including such things as the hi-tech saucers and hideous human cyborgs, these technologies help make Wilson's Antarctic colony more powerful than any nation.
Nations like the US and Canada also build flying saucers, but theirs are nowhere near as advanced as what Wilson has, and indeed Wilson manages to make a deal with the US government and the governments of at least several other countries, promising to give them technological secrets in exchange for covering up the existence of his Antarctic colony and all flying saucers.
Some of the stories characters will be familiar to those who have read Inception. Most notable of these are Wilson (who, needless to say, will appear in all five books of the series) and former SS officer Ernst Stoll.
The story also introduces some new faces, such as the US Air Force officer turned UFO investigator Dwight Randall, and the sinister CIA agent Jack Fuller.
Phoenix is even more intriguing than its prequel Inception, and introduces such new concepts as cyborgs and psychic powers.
The story is also more frightening than Inception. Both the US government and Wilson are seen using sinister methods to silence those who know too much about the conspiracy, and you even get to see Wilson punishing the US government itself when it dares to step out of line.
Overall, like Inception, is the sort of story that can keep a reader hooked. I now look forward to reading Phoenix's sequel, Genesis.
