Book Reviews of The Footprints of GodBook Review: Uncontrollable Power Arises from Scientific Achievement Summary: 5 StarsIn this nonfiction book, Greg Iles takes the current dependency of the world on computers to a whole new level. He adds some zen-like koans and religious underpinnings to one of the most astonishing and successful achievements of science written about in this book.The combined themes of scientific research and achievement, political intrigue, and moral/ethical conflicts come together in unexpected and unprecedented ways from the potential success of a special "secret" project which is sanctioned by the President.The book works itself through meandering mystrious discoveries and relationships and labyrinthine pathways, as the reader is provided more clues to the nature of "The Trinity Project" and what happens to those who oppose it. This book is jam-packed with mystery, high-tech computer advancements, and the egotistical megalomania that accompanies the hunger for ever more power and control. It is begins with the personal conflicts which Dr. David Tennat experiences, as he seeks psychological counseling from Dr. Rachel Weiss, a eminent Jungian Analyst, working for the University of North Carolina. He appears to be suffering stress-related dreams and visions associated with his participation in the research ... but the symptoms *could* also be side-effects of having participated in an MRI scanning of his brain, as a "guinea pig" participant in the research. He shares with his psychologist the doubts he has about the labelled "natural cause" of death of his research colleague, Dr. Andrew Fielding. Dr. Fielding had predicted he may be permanently elimiinated because of discoveries he had made about "The Trinity Project". As the two of them are drawn into learning more about Dr. Fielding's discovery ... things start to happen. Needless to say, this book is a non-stop reading experience.It is one fantastic and extraordinairy roller-coaster of a ride that comes to a very surprising and startling conclusion. It is most highly recommended. Erika Borsos (bakonyvilla)
