What if the world was turned upside down tomorrow? Whether it be by a natural disaster, by disease, or by economic collapse just how much could you count on your neighbors? The government? Your church? What if the change wasn’t just about how people lived but also about what it meant to be human?

Note: This is a review by the author, who unabashedly loves his own novels and hopes others will as well.

4) Good works come from those who truly understand the nature of...more

I was simply blown away by this book. I've never read anything like it before. It takes the ideas of evolution, genetics, alternate universes, religion and many other things and expands and develops them in a way you would never have imagined.

It's interesting, engaging, and never fails to surp...more
