Darwin's Theorem

by T.J. Radcliffe

Darwin’s Theorem is a story about stories (the working title for a long time was "Metastory") that’s also a mystery, a romance, an adventure, and various other things besides.

Set in the New American Empire of the near future, Darwin's Theorem tells the story of Jay Calvin, a defrocked mathematical biologist who has a last chance at redemption when the mentor he once betrayed is killed. The dead man's daughter--and Jay's former lover--asks him for help in investigating her father's death, and recovering a missing manuscript that some want suppressed forever, and others want to use to shape the future of the human race...
