Synopsis

Van Gogh, Beethoven, Isaac Newton, John Nash: revolutionary geniuses, yet all afflicted with psychiatric disease. Were their mental illnesses impediments, or were they the very wellsprings of their accomplishments?

Dr. Lewis Adams is a latter-day bipolar genius , aiming to exceed those luminaries’ greatness, yet possessing even greater madness. Through good fortune and ill, trial and tribulation, and ignoring international laws, he succeeds beyond any expectations. His neuroses, however, drive him onward to an unreachable destination: the moon.

After manipulating other psychologically afflicted intellectuals into joining his quest, Dr. Adams makes a discovery that turns his impossible dream into a reality, by changing our understanding of reality itself. Discoveries such as Gravity Drive technology come with severe consequences. Is it merely a means of travel, or is it a weapon of mass destruction? Powerful countries will stop at nothing to uncover the mystery - and to possess the power - of the Gravity Drive. The battle over that secret ultimately destroys both human lives and what remains of Dr. Adams’ sanity.

Fans of science fiction from authors such as Cixin Liu, Isaac Asimov, and Andy Weir will enjoy thought-provoking concepts such as dark matter, dark energy, and the eureka moments of discovery and invention. Fans of action-adventure will savor the ever-heightening tension and dramatic climax. Most importantly though, fans of humanity will appreciate the complex characters and the deep dive into the true final frontier: the human psyche.

How far would you go to keep a secret?
