Synopsis
On 5th February 2052AD, with the aid of the most
advanced artificial intelligence in history, the self-aware matrix: SAM 7, the
leader of the Church of the Quantum Mind: Bernard Nightingale attains the holy
grail of Physics–the Theory of Everything. But it comes at a price, for his
discovery provides indisputable evidence of a divine and universal
consciousness; it consists of nothing less than a new transcendental calculus,
the Ouroboros breakthrough,
which provides a rigorous mathematical demonstration of the existence of
God.
When he presents his findings to a disbelieving world, the
reaction of the secular and materialistic is as vicious as it is predictable.
Jonas Cartwright, CEO of the world’s largest corporation, commissions his
private army–the Death Void Heretics–to destroy all evidence supporting the
new global faith. The directive is intercepted by SAM 7 and, in fear of his
life, Nightingale disappears without trace.
Former soldier, now priest: Stephen Szrama is summoned to
the inner sanctum of the Church, high in the mountains of Crete. Shortly after
his arrival, all communication to the outside world is cut as the island is
subject to an airborne invasion for the second time in its history. As the clergyman races against time to locate
his friend and mentor, the few remaining faithful, isolated and encircled,
battle against an overwhelming enemy force.
Szrama
alone possesses the necessary tactical knowledge and
commanding presence so desperately needed to protect the vital
scientific proof–the essential next step in the spiritual evolution of
mankind. Only his former unit–the legendary Shyhawks–can assist. However, he
finds himself trapped within a nightmarish landscape. In order to
escape, he
must first penetrate the five sheathes of ignorance which blind men to vision
of the
divine and overcome that most formidable of barriers–the selfish
impulses of
his own ego.
