Prophecy
A romantic and scientific story set 150 years in the future, on Earth and on distant interstellar worlds.

Earth’s population has passed 15 billion. World War III killed over a billion people, and every citizen now wears a government-mandated gWatch that tracks their every move. No intelligent life has been found anywhere in the Universe, and Earth is starting to look like a miracle oasis that mankind is slowly destroying.
Terra Nova Corporation, the richest company in the world, wants to build Prometheus, the first interstellar vessel capable of light speed. Its engine is the revolutionary Dark Matter Drive, based on the papers of the brilliant and beautiful Doctor Maria Maravilla. The handsome Doctor John Smith has been tasked with building it, and he can’t get the physics to work.
Maria’s interest in Prometheus becomes more than scientific when she meets John. And Dark Matter turns out to be a truly miraculous substance that will change the world, humanity and the Galaxy forever.
