Thought provoking Futuristic Fiction

More than thirty years ago the poet asked us to "Imagine" a world free of war, disease, hunger, all wants and needs, but also without god or religion. Future Hope speculates on just such a utopian world. The earth of 2156 has solved all these problems as the government provides everything for its people. However, mankind has stretched itself to its limits and faces a crisis. The plot of Future Hope follows Major David Sanders as he becomes the first man to attempt to travel outside our solar system utilizing the Interdimensional Transport Protocol, brilliantly devised by Dr. Deborah Tennyson. Ther reader follows Sanders through the ITP to a very unexpected world that eventually brings him the fame he craves but in a completely unpredictable manner. Themes of Good vs Evil, romance, speculation on future social and technological advances punctuate the story as the reader is carried along on a journey that is never dull and often surprising. I am the author of the novel and I think it is a truly unique story that will leave the reader wondering about the world we live in today and where humanity will be in the future.

A Wonderful Unique Story

I am the author of this novel and it truly was an educational experience writing and publishing the book. The story is one of good vs. evil speculating on future Earth. It starts with the words of God and Satan to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Future Earth is dominated by Satan as man has become "like God". The plot follows the exploits of Major David Sanders as he embarks on the first manned voyage utilizing the Interdimensional Transport Protocol (ITP). As his journey goes awry, the lead ITP scientist, Dr. Deborah Tennyson, works to bring him safely home. There is an endearing love story, adventure, deceit and unexpected twists throughout the book. I have received a great deal of feedback from readers and everyone has found ITP:Future Hope to be an engrossing story that made them want to read more. At least two people said it made them cry. If you are looking for a book with a compelling plot, romance and a bit of social commentary that will grab your attention and hold it until the final page, then this is the novel for you.

Great reading. At the end I was wishing it would not end. Makes one stop and think about the future and where we are going with this universe. Can't wait until the next one comes out. Gail Reynolds
