Blasphemy is Douglas Preston's latest thriller. This one is a solo project, as opposed to those he writes with Lincoln Child. Although this is the first entry on one of Preston's books, I would recommend all of them!Wyman Ford, ex-CIA and ex-monk, is hired by the president's science advisor to spy on the scientists running the Isabella Project. The project, which brings together a stream of protons and anti-protons could be a giant leap in technology, is designed to reproduce the setting of the Big Bang.
The machine is built, but it is behind schedule for going online. There is a glitch in the workings that might be a virus. Every time they are close to 100% power, a message appears on the readout screen.
In order to trace the source of the virus, the scientists try responding to the message. But what will they do when the words tell them that it is God speaking?
Preston, Douglas. (2007). Blasphemy. New York: Forge.
