One Last Life — James Haselton

Spirituality and science converge in this two-part story. Part one takes the reader on a search from the Rock River Valley of northern Illinois to Vietnam, from the trenches of World War One in northern Europe to the plains of India and north into the Himalayan Mountains where a young Erik Vardán, while searching for an ancient path of spirituality, finds a terrifying truth from the realms of cosmic prophecy that will challenge modern science. Part two picks up that prophecy with the personal experience of several scientists reaching back sixteen hundred years to ancient Alexandria, Egypt then forward into a future that could be just next week. Ancient conflicts are seemingly carried over from that Roman-ruled city into our modern high-tech world where religious dogma and ultimate Truth, whether scientific or Spiritual, are forever at odds.
