The world's biggest supercollider, locked in an Arizona mountain, was built to unlock the secrets of the very moment of creation: the Big Bang itself. Twelve scientists under the leadership of a famed Nobel Laureate are sent to the remote mountain to turn it on...And what they discover must be hidden from the world at all costs. Wyman Ford, ex-monk and CIA operative, is tapped to wrest from the team their secret, a secret that will either destroy the world--or save it.
Whether it's scientists, CIA agents, greedy politicos, religious fanatics, or entire towns of Navaho Indians--somehow Scott Sowers juggles them all, making what could have been a chaotic story exciting as well as comprehensible. It's easy to go back over the printed page, not so easy if you're driving and listening. Listeners are in exceedingly capable hands--Sowers never lets us down. He weaves together the complex subplots of what happens when science and religion collide. The scientists out on the Red Mesa desert thought they were inventing a particle collider that would allow them to look back into the Big Bang. What they weren't expecting to find was God. D.G.
