"Divine Loop" is an epic sci-fi series which not only aims to entertain, but also to enlighten and inspire young adult readers, bringing together the best of science and technology, fantasy and mythology, theology and philosophy in a suspenseful and dramatic story.
This first book of the series is more or less a hard science fiction combined with elements of space opera and mythology, in which the epic and romantic storytelling goes hand in hand with philosophical and scientific dialogues. It transports us to a futuristic world full of power games, mystery, and intrigue. In this tale of light and dark, twelve nations named after colors struggle to unveil the secrets of their universe, where humans, cyborgs, and robots resemble mythological figures, and virtual creations cannot be distinguished from reality...whatever that is.
SAMPLE BOOK PARTS
1. "Rose"
"Gerber thinks sex is overrated, just like you think reality is overrated. Gods think death is overrated. Personally, I don't care what's overrated or underrated, because I don't give a shit about people's opinions." Sileno paused as he considered sucking some cherry wine from the dispenser android's cock. He went on, "I think the only thing Gerber would be interested in fucking might be himself."
"Narcissistic much?"
"Maybe in a benign way. I think you would be interested in fucking yourself too. There is a word for that, being sexually attracted to 'autosexual'."
"I have already fucked myself." Danilo grinned. "I created my own android copy once, and he fucked me too. I think there's pretty much nothing I haven't tried. I fucked a lion once, although that was in a simulation. I also fucked a corpse, and I'm not entirely sure if that was a simulation."
He gave a command to the redhead that only she could understand. She tilted her head backwards and opened her mouth wide. Danilo got off his chair, took his cock out of his nanosuit and started peeing in her mouth. She swallowed all of it, and then crawled away.
"Was that an android?" Sileno asked, watching her disappear around the corner.
There were some mobile toilets designed in humanoid form, mainly for people who had scat and urine fetishes. They cleaned themselves by disposing of excreta through their belly compartments. Certainly, not many people approved of the idea of using humanoids as toilets; not to mention that it would result in a high number of negative points.
"I don't think so," Danilo answered, as he settled back into his chair with an unsure expression.
"I should resume my investigation," Sileno said, standing up. "There may be human spies around, pretending to be robots."
He walked away, cheerfully wagging his tail.
2. "Indigo"
"A black hole is a singularity into which matter flows, and the universe came from a singularity out of which matter has flowed. A white hole can be the first event in a universe, produced by a singularity—just as a black hole can be the last event, leading to a singularity."
"You just suggested that a white hole would eventually turn into a black hole," Arseniy said. "So, in a way, they are born and killed by black holes. Black holes, on the other hand, are birthed by the death of stars in this universe, or the death of white holes in other universes. And they are not killed, but die on their own, losing their mass over time."
"It can also be speculated that a white hole is the death of a black hole,” Gerber replied.
This book was hard to put down. Set in a unique universe, it has charming characters, who engage in dialogue that ranges between humorous, profound, and provocative. Its tightly spun net of plot lines describes a complex world full of surprising creatures and technology. I hope the sequels keep what this debut promises.
Divine Loop is like a psychedelic vision into the future. The author weaves a story that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, which makes for a very satisfying read.
