The Big Bang

Astronomers are on the verge of observing The Big Bang, that miraculous burst of light that gave birth to our universe. What if you were the first? That's the question that lies at the heart of James Lake's latest novel, an alchemy of science, spirituality, and poetic storytelling. It follows the cosmic quest of young Jason Heelstone, troubled prodigy and novice cosmologist, who seeks to determine the true nature of light-and thereby discover the source of all life. Visionary. Controversial. And so original as to challenge all of us to imagine this world anew. This is a must read for anyone who'd like to develop a better understanding of how life as we know it began, and find renewed personal meaning in the process.
