Synopsis

When space combat hero Captain Mureke receives from his beautiful wife, Anastasia, a strange gift - an Atallian, a creature he wraps around his wrist - he little knows it is going to save his life. Sent on a mission to warn Earth of an impending disaster, Mureke bursts into the White House to alert the president. The leader's cowardly and arrogant reaction sends Mureke - quite literally - to Hell and back, and pitches humanity to the brink of chaos. In this dramatic, merciless exposure of hypocrisy and hubris, the author pulls no punches. Weaving together myths of Atlantis, Christianity and evolutionary theory, he points to religious bigotry as the prime source of human ills. Acknowledging the continuing conflict of good and evil, he gives us a glimpse of the form their final combat will take. Detailed, engaging and at times disturbingly beautiful, this clarion call for secularity will provoke as it convinces.

About this title

About the Author

Born and raised in a small Derbyshire church community, religion was a strong controlling factor. While serving in the Armed Forces for 13 years and travelling the world, I began to see the control and adverse effect different religions played on the populations. I studied the various religions and beliefs, then decided to write a trilogy in science fiction form to highlight an outside view of the world past, present and future. I have continued to travel and have experienced racial, judicial and governmental controls being both used and abused. My writing is a way of voicing an opinion formed from the experience, in an attempt to help the readers of my work see a reality of today before it destroys tomorrow.
