Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (ePub)

Speculative Fiction

From the American Midwest to the Middle East, to London, and even to the Alpha Concordance - a section of the galaxy at the edge of man's celestial peripheral vision - eight explorers of differing genders, cultures, and religions seek to uncover the mysteries of the universe. What is the true nature of the soul? What is the long-lost secret of the origin of mankind? Does God exist? And if so, where is he now? Is there life in the cosmos? How does one even define life? Is a man without a soul alive? Is an android that walks and talks like a man? Can a sentient artificial intelligence computer be alive? And what defines humanity? Does man's inhumanity toward his fellow man stem from evil, madness, or something more?

With the long-term survival of humanity at stake, the intrepid explorers find themselves transported across the universe to somewhere they are not supposed to be, having learned reality is not what it seems and the laws of physics were never really laws at all, merely suggestions.
Will their disparate differences - in gender, cultures, philosophies, and religious beliefs - aid these explorers in piecing together the mysteries or pull them further from the truth? Or are they, along with their developing interpersonal relationships, merely a commentary on the human condition?

A novella in three acts, blending philosophy, religion, and quantum mechanics.
