"In Greek mythology, Prometheus created mankind and saved them from cold ignorance by bringing them fire. As punishment for helping humans, whom the evil rapist Zeus hated, Prometheus was bound to the top of a high mountain. There, alone for centuries but for the comfort of a passing female traveler, bitter wind gnawed at his naked flesh while every day an eagle came to feast on his liver. Suffering man, yet eternal God, pierced in his side, exposed and alone for the salvation of humanity...like Yeshua, called by the Gentiles Jesus, who died to bring fire to our hearts."
Physician and science fiction author Jen Finelli believes God leaves behind traces of pure Awesome in places we usually don't look. We are here to pick up the little glimmers and put them to study, through tarantulas, photons, Pilobilus, whatever, the true Prometheus and the fire that is life.
This is not a book about religious or scientific debate, but a daily series of mystic inspiration found in plants, DNA, vectors, and more.
Jen Finelli is a world-traveling scifi author who's ridden a motorcycle in a monsoon, swum with sharks, crawled under barbed wire in the mud, and hiked everywhere from hidden coral deserts and island mountains to steaming underground urban tunnels littered with poetry. She was once locked inside a German nunnery, and recently had to find her way through swamp-filled Korean foothills dotted with graveyards on Friday the 13th under a full moon without a flashlight. On her quest to rescue stories often swallowed by the shadows, she's delivered babies, cradled the dying, and interviewed everyone from prostitutes to Senators. Jen's a practicing MD, FAWM candidate, and sexual assault medical forensic examiner--but when she grows up, she wants to be a superhero.

I enjoyed reading this book. To me, it was about finding something special in every part of our existence. Pilobilus, the tarantulas, and photons were some of the areas where Prometheus, or life's fire, can be discovered. This book was about the unexpected. I want to write more, but I do not want to spoil the book for readers. I recommend this to anyone looking for a unique read.
