The Sphinx

by Caldon Mull

The Sphinx is a Future History, an extrapolation into the next five hundred years of human history, and focuses on the narrative of Greg Summer50, a young Venusian conscripted into the GovSec Symbols Project. Augmented with Psionic ability, The Sphinx is thrust into the Arena of The Sol Senate as an unwitting tool of GovSec Ambition. A stand alone, yet complimentary book to The Estuary Tales. The Sphinx details the ambition of GovSec while the Earth spins closer and closer to the Mass Extinction of it's dominant species, viewed through the naive eyes of a boy from Venus who is destined to become the most feared creature in all of Human History. As The Sphinx slowly devours Greg Summer50 in the course of his duties and tasks for GovSec, the survival of all the Human Race begins to be thrown into stark relief because of his actions.The tormented Sphinx must begin to question who the Enemy he was created to combat, really is. The Sphinx describes a miserable human existence on several of the colonized planetary systems that form The Sol Senate, a dark warning in a post-Apocalyptic scenario, where the human race continues to doom itself against the backdrop of an uncaring Universe.

Another amazing tale from an author I've recently discovered and whom I'm admiring lots. Looking forward to getting to know more of his enthralling stories.
