Hunter's Vix

Debut author RT Leader releases his first thrilling and thought-provoking science fiction masterpiece: a darkly beautiful and deep exploration into what it means to be human. Themes of global extinction, consciousness, metaphysics and hard science merge into an unforgettable story."I've given myself a day to absorb the enormity of my discovery. I've always managed to pride myself on my ability to remain detached and objective when it comes to my work, but this is beyond any expectations I had for Vix or had in my career. To put it bluntly, and without humility, I believe I have discovered the nature of the universe and - indeed - its purpose."English Physicist Amy Hunter, with her engineer husband John, complete their build of Vix - a new design of compact atomic collider - in a laboratory beneath their home in Saint Lucia. A dangerous road lies before them, as they uncover the science behind the true nature of the cosmos and the reason behind the increasing frequency of natural disasters. The apparent resurrection of an unremarkable beach seller precludes a terrifying future. A future involving the extinction of life on Earth. An arbitrary decision made by Earth Sciences graduate, Robert Birch, in the UK, leads him down divergent paths. Befriending Scottish Industrialist Vic Macken, and a nameless but brilliant young woman, these roads spell a future devoid of hope: where the unthinkable forces humanity to confront its own very nature. While paradise is lost, Hunter's Vix will uncover revelations on humanity's global impact, ability to inspire, and the consequences therein from an ambivalent Universe.
