Matrix of the Gods

by John Nelson

The world teeters on the brink of apocalyptic destruction or a new millennium of universal peace and spiritual awakening. The author suggests that both future worlds coexist in their own dimensions, and we choose by our vibratory levels which world we will inhabit. Rama, a 21st-century Buddha, who is imprisoned in a psychically impenetrable prison in the Swiss Alps, is the object of intense scientific scrutiny. During his long, unjust incarceration, he has passed into what he calls "the natural state of being." Twenty-five years earlier, the earth had suffered a catastrophic ecological collapse, forcing the world's greatly diminished population under environ canopies in mega cities around the globe. The World Council fears that Rama's expansive consciousness might awaken subjugated humanity. Michael Parker, the head of the North American security agency, sends in an undercover operative, reporter Zita Hiller, to discredit the holy man. However, Zita becomes enchanted with the man and his naturalist philosophy and aids his release. But Rama's consciousness has already triggered the birth of child-Ramas. As two would-be controllers of human destiny engage in psychic warfare, these children offer humankind a third possibility. This leads to a mind-boggling climax that holds out hope to those ready to make the "leap into a new world."

About the author

I am a rather self-taught author and editor. My first novel, "Starborn" was published in 1978 by a small regional publisher, and was then picked up Hampton Roads Publishing in 1993, which subsequently published "Matrix of the Gods" (1994), republished "Transformations" (1997) and published "The Magic Mirror) in 2007, which won the COVR Best Book of the Year Award at INATS in 2008.

I was brought to L.A. by an agent in 1979 after the publication of "Starborn," which was subsequently optioned by a small-time producer for whom I wrote a screenplay adaptation, and went on to write adaptions for my other two novels for producers. One was David Field, a former studio executive who transitioned into writing screenplays ("Amazing Grace and Chuck"). In the late 1990s I also wrote a screenplay adaptation of "Matrix of the Gods" for actor/producer Steven Seagal.

After working in small publishing as an editor during the 1990s for Hampton Roads Pub, Bear & Co., and Inner Oceans, I started my own editorial service in 2003, Bookworks Ltd. I currently write my own books and edit the works of other authors under this umbrella. In May, 2016 Cosmic Egg will published my latest novel, "I, Human" in the sci-fi/visionary fiction genre.

Reviews

[Josh · Rating 4 out of 5]

this book doesn't at first seem all too good or important, but like most books in the science fiction genre, it can teach us more about our current world than we care to know. by casting the world in some dystopic future, the author enables us to see what we're becoming, but also offers a new way of looking at things in the hope that his haunting vision will not manifest.
