Beschreibung

THE MIND-BLOWING SEQUEL TO "A GHOST FOR A CLUE" With the help of NASA, a computer glitch, and a ghost, Bram Morrison, a robotics engineer, may have given science a new means to put death on hold. But despite the new landscape he's opened up, the Great Beyond is still territory with no solid ground for science to stand on. Still helping Torula Jackson, a biologist, realize her dream of studying what happens to consciousness after death, Bram risks his reputation, future, and ambitions by revealing his growing belief in the bizarre. Despite his modifications on the Verdabulary software that has helped ghosts reach out to the living, it will take more than apparitions in 3D glass chambers to convince scientists and doctors that the afterlife exists. When the ensuing research ends up with more questions than answers, trouble brews for all the souls still fighting for a foothold in the afterworld. Can souls really persist indefinitely in crystal storage devices called willdiscs? What about Franco, Bram's recently deceased friend, can he help provide answers? These and more mysteries unfold in A Ghost in a Bottle, the second book in the IMMORTOLOGY series-giving readers more of this rare blend of hard science fiction exploring the afterlife. "This novel is quietly moving and thought-provoking, a tale in which a hero sets out to explore the edges of mortality and what happens in the afterlife. Most suitable for fans of science fiction and readers who enjoy tales with supernatural themes." - ¿¿¿¿¿ The Book Commentary "Can't wait to read book three. The premise to this story is amazing, I have made myself notes to follow up on the underlying science and extrapolated science the story is based on." - ¿¿¿¿¿ Goodreads Review

Autor

C.L.R. Draeco is a writer, university professor, and advertising executive whose childhood home burnt down from an electrical fire in the 1970s. After the house was rebuilt, visitors began to suggest that the house was haunted. The Draeco family didn't believe it at first, until slowly, they began experiencing anomalies themselves. Those experiences were what inspired the author to explore scientific explanations for such phenomena, eventually spawning the hard science-fiction book series Immortology. Defining its genre was an initial challenge. Intended squarely as science fiction, and not fantasy, the story wove in true-to-life paranormal anecdotes encountered by C.L.R. Draeco from friends and family. This led to the story spilling outside the genre's accepted borders. Ghosts and immortal souls simply could not be classified as scientific and technological possibilities. And yet, that was exactly what the series aimed to do: to paint a world where an afterlife is plausible with the help of science. Bringing together hard science-fiction and psychic phenomena and phantoms, the series set out to carve a new niche called Psi-Fi & Phantasy. Draeco is married to a photojournalist who travels the world. Their two "kids" are now a Doctor of Medicine while the other is studying to be a Doctor of Psychology. They share their home with two dogs, four cats, a few fish, a bearded dragon, and no ghosts.
