The Gliese Project W D Smart

Drs. Chambers, Baqri, and Ahuja, all technically-oriented Ph. Ds. with a different set of skills, were drawn together in an unlikely alliance in a mysterious set of circumstances by an employer who was only identified as "HETC." They were, as a team, offered very lucrative, month-long engagements which involved doing research at HETC's isolated, underground headquarters located in the California desert near the Nevada border. This, their fourth assignment, was to reverse-engineer a technology called "Quantum Vacuum" (or Zero Point) Electromagnetic Generators which had been discovered in and extracted from a salvaged UFO. The project itself was called "Demeter" after the Greek goddess of the harvest. This project not only joined them again with four "experts," but also involved a mysterious, participant whose identity they were asked to keep secret. All this was done under the umbrella of one of HETC's four main projects - The Gliese Project - which was focused on Energy Technologies. Their research culminated in startling conclusions, and the experiences they had during their stay at the underground facility finally brought them all the answers to their questions.
