From the Publisher
In 1956, the US aerospace and defence industry announces it is on the brink of the greatest scientific discovery since the development of the atomic bomb. Gravity-control is within its reach. The breakthrough will come before the decade is out. But it never happens. The revolution dies before it has begun.
This is the official version. The truth, however, is very different.
The Hunt For Zero Point is the story of a ten-year investigation by award-winning defence journalist Nick Cook to prove that America cracked the gravity code and classified the technology at unheard of security levels. To seek out the truth, Cook knows he must journey to the heart of America’s black world of aerospace development – a regime so secret it does not officially exist.
Picking a path through America’s most classified weapons programmes, Cook follows a trail of detection that takes him to Germany, hunting down a repository of technical secrets buried by the Nazis 50 years earlier. It is here, in amongst a cache of undocumented projects run by the SS and hidden by the crimes of the Holocaust, that he finally learns the secret of Zero Point.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
