Announcing: The Ego Cluster by Robert Cole
On Aug. 16, novelist Robert Cole launched his The Ego Cluster which is about a future strafed with economic inequality, religious wars and climate extremes.
In the story, scientists discover a gene cluster that appears to govern the human ego. By suppressing these genes much of the ego-driven nature of the human decision process could be converted to a more empathetic, logical and considered approach, devoid of racial, religious or economic bigotry. One appealing aspect: removing the sociopathic tendencies of corporate CEO’s who rise to the top because of their amoral outlooks on human life.
Visionary scientists Ethan Hendersen and Amelia Holt form both a romantic partnership and a working one in which their characters will be tested to the limit when they are employed by a mysterious cartel headed by antagonist Stefano Croce to develop a treatment to eliminate the human ego. Professional colleagues Dr Doug Ashton and Professor Caleb Fuller are also swept up in the action as the real potential of the ego cluster gene therapy is revealed. This is a story of an epic battle between scientific progress and its potential to change the human mind and the entrenched mind-set of the established elite.

One more new review for Return to Alpha!
Wesley Britton has written "Return to Alpha: A New Saga Begins," which is a spin-off from his "Beta-Earth series. This story can be enjoyed on its own or as part of his previous work. Britton's writing is unique in that it can be read by a wide fan base. Those who like sci-fi and those who read dystopian-post-apocalyptic literature would be drawn to this work. Drawing upon current environmental concerns and the recent global health crises, the plot is both relevant and relatable. Britton increases this tension by introducing aliens into the mix when they land in Jamaica. From there the adventure begins and the pages turn. It is a fun and adventurous read and one to enjoy again!
