Description

Sir Ernest Everleigh is on a quest to disprove God's existence. He's an Oxford University lecturer with a cult-like following of students who rally to the atheistic cause through his philosophy course and campus debates. Sir Ernest has several projects in the works that depend on backing from very powerful people, including an expedition to Afghanistan to procure a mysterious relic--at whatever the cost.

John Rowntree may be agnostic, but he'd been teaching a religious knowledge class at an English school, until he was fired for defying the ban on religious teaching instituted by a government committee headed by Sir Ernest. When John enrolls in Sir Ernest's course, he soon finds himself engaged in a stimulating debate that brings out a new philosophy on the origins of life and models of God.

John also ends up joining the perilous pursuit of the enigmatic relic, an adventure that is a key part of Sir Ernest's ambitious plan for total victory.

Plenty of action and intrigue make From Dust to DNA a suspense thriller that offers mind-expanding insights that could change the way you think about the meaning of life and your model of God.

Advance Praise

"This is an amazing work of fiction that addresses real and complex human phenomena including spirituality, near death experiences (and even romance) in a serious yet very entertaining and understandable way. This book , which I have read twice, is not to be missed."
-- Anelisia Nobre, Psychologist, Sao Paolo, Brazil

"From Dust to DNA is almost two books in one. This skilful author has intermingled fast moving adventures and plot with scientific and philosophical questions to challenge the reader. What is the origin of life? With all our vast knowledge of chemistry, the key field of catalytic reactions is not yet fully explored nor understood, meaning that the final answer to the origin of life is still to be discovered."
-- Dr Andrew Firek, Ph.D. in chemistry and technology., Sydney, Australia

"At one level this is an eminently readable novel with believable characters that involve us in a fast paced story that moves from England to Asia. In the story, important issues of philosophy, religion and human nature focus around discussion of the origin of life and consciousness, and the existence of God. These topics are covered in a thought provoking manner which does not hinder plot or character development, or detract from the reader's enjoyment of the book. Highly recommended."
