This
is an intriguing novel, part science fiction, part
military history, part philosophy.
The
story takes the reader from a suburb on Long
Island, New York, during the late 1960's to Haifa in the
war-torn Middle East, in the year 2002.
The
story follows the main character, Tommy, and his close
friends, through all their various life-changing
experiences, and shows how they come to realise that the
world is far more complex than they ever imagined.
This
is a work of fiction, but it explores aspects of
religion and science, including modern physics, and
recounts the secret development of a super-computer for
military purposes.
It
is a timely read, just five years after 9/11.
All
in all, it should be of great interest to the reader of
mature general literature.
