A transformative sacrifice seals humankind’s destiny at the end of a celestial path. Sometimes, history repeats.

Book Three in The Powers That Be trilogy, THE BLUE SPARK, paints a thought-provoking, action-packed vision of a dystopian future world with humankind on a razor’s edge between science and morality, loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair, courage and fear, evolution and extinction.

A supernatural visitor entrusts an enigmatic cubed artifact with maverick archeologist Professor Ian Dury. Five years later, legendary robotics pioneer Mitsuo Kobayashi appropriates the top-secret cube, projecting a young woman’s body and soul into sixteen sister replicants before the catastrophic consequences of playing God lay bare his hubris.

Rachel and Owen Haig raise their precocious daughter, Hannah, out of the public eye and away from The Powers That Be (PTB) until events spiral their extraordinary lives asunder.

With a vicelike grip on the PTB, a corrupted Andrew sabotages a quasi-utopian new world order, precipitating the return of an advanced alien hybrid prehuman civilization.

25-year-old Hannah Haig leads a solitary life in 2070 as a drone tech aboard Thundercorp No. 5 when terrorists destroy the moon-like orbiting warehouse. A month later, estranged from her family and stricken with survivor’s guilt, Hannah’s Blue Spark inheritance manifests, leading to a transformative sacrifice that seals humankind’s destiny at the end of a celestial path.

On a future Earth reshaped by eons of cataclysmic upheavals, something stirs within the cube long since buried under the sands of time.

Sometimes, history repeats.
