Light of Another Kind: Humanities Greatest Secret, Hidden Science, and a Window on Alternate Reality.
"We thought we were splitting the atom to end a war.
But discovered, we were illuminating the Future of Man."
The year is 2025. Thomas Lynn, a twenty-one-year-old Applied Physics student, is digging a trench in his new backyard west of Fountain, Colorado. His shovel strikes something impossible: a small, black sphere the size of a marble that swallows the light. It is a literal void in the dirt ... immovable, floating, and humming with a constant, unwavering B-flat that vibrates in the marrow of his bones.
What begins as a senior thesis project in a reinforced shed becomes the key to humanity's greatest secret.
From the Blast ending World War II, to the creation of Cheyenne Mountain ...
From a field in Colorado to Cambridge University.
From the Enola Gay to a Hidden Note in the Resolute Desk.
From the Beginning of Man to the Ultimate Secret ... of Humanity.
Ronald Beck has crafted a masterpiece of "hard" science fiction that feels unsettlingly real. By blending physics with the political landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries, this novel asks: What if our greatest scientific achievement was merely a knock on a door that was never meant to be opened?
