Convergence: Towards Immortality
It is the year 2038 a period of major global change. The world is recovering from a lengthy Muslim civil war. In the power vacuum left by the defeated power brokers a new extremist religious group evolves known as the Jehovites. The Jehovites develop a blended and dangerous religious ideology based on the Old Testament that attracts radicalised and disaffected extremists from the main Muslim, Christian and Jewish faiths.
Meanwhile, decades of economic and global civil unrest, gives rise to two distinct geopolitical movements the Progressionists and the Revisionists. The Progressionists are a socially aware movement incorporating democratically progressive thinkers while the Revisionists are hard core traditional conservatives.
Among the changing and unsettled geopolitical landscape a major Archaeological discovery deep in the jungles of Cambodia unleashes a series of events that leads to the confirmation of an entirely new plant species with the power to change and re-write great slabs of human history and theology. At the same time, scientists are at the cusp of identifying the Holy Grail of quantum physics- the existence of Dark Energy. These two unrelated events become interconnected through fate and in turn set in motion a chain reaction leading to murder and culminating in the greatest scientific experiment ever undertaken. The result of the experiment has the power to eliminate the need for faith forever changing humanities' destiny and view of itself within the Cosmos.

Well, I thought Dan Brown owned this space, but apparently no longer! How a first time adult novelist can produce something as original as this defies belief, mine at least. As a Jesuit-educated lapsed Catholic, I came to the work with a particular bias, but found this work thoroughly thought-provoking. This blend of science with faith, set against a thrilling background, with ingredients of research, history, love and religion, the inevitable collision is well handled - even if it requires some leaps of faith. I use the term 'science thriller' to label this work, not science fiction, not outright thriller, but very entertaining. Definitely a film here. As entertainment, 10 out of 10; for literary merit 6 out of 10, but for thought provocation a 9 out of 10. A quick look at CERN and NASA websites shows this author is ahead of the game, when compared with all other current writers. Awesome - one of my five best reads of 2017!
