Intelligent Design: Revelations, published by AIA Publishing, is out now.

July 28, 2014 by Tahlia Newland

Intelligent Design  by J.M Erickson, AIA Publishing’s first ebook , is now available for purchase. The paperback will be available in the middle of next month. This is the first book I’ve published for someone else and it feels really good to have helped an author make a good job of publication.

         Sixty-five million years ago, Master Architect Janus institutes a plan to ensure the human species survival, and Junior Architect Hades attempts to convert a tidal-locked planet, Terra, into a viable planet should Janus fail. But when the Gemini planetoids inexplicably collide, all seems lost.

In 2008, the FBI whisk doctoral student Andrea Perez away before her experiment begins, and Lieutenant Colonel David Farrell watches classified information disappear from the Department of Defence’s data-bases. Years later, FEMA director of Readiness & Disaster Roberta Josephine Riesman begins to connect the dots only to find that the catastrophe that awaits the planet is just the beginning.

 

What Readers are saying about ‘Intelligent Design: Revelations.’

“…The book combines intriguing past and current scientific events and theories, conspiracy, high-tech gadgets and a touch of humor, with a cast of unique characters to give you a gratifying reading experience. It is an interesting read and fans of science fiction will love it.”  Faridah Nassozi, Readers’ Favorite

 “Intelligent Design: Revelations is a wonderfully absorbing science fiction novella presenting existential questions that occupy the reader’s mind long after the book has been put down….” Suzanne Owen, Editor

 “…it is to Erickson’s credit that he fulfills the absolute criteria for a proper science fiction novel: i.e. science made into fiction—and that should be very enjoyable to sci-fi purists seeking out this exact kind of work.”  Self Publishing Review

 “Intelligent Design gives the reader both current and past scientific theories and events, and brings them together in an enticing soup of conspiracy, humour, high-tech gadgets, and existential questions.” Harmony Kent for Awesome Indies Reviews.
