In the near future, with the energy crisis solved and the world powered by artificial and quantum intelligence, a mysterious disease is spreading across the globe. The cause is a mystery, and a cure remains stubbornly elusive.
At Fermilab 5, west of Chicago, a team of physicists experiences a shocking result when an experiment appears to go rogue, defying all logic. Yet in trying to solve the conundrum, the team edges ever closer to uncovering the fundamental secrets of the universe.
For the Church, the former is its salvation, the latter an existential threat.
Meanwhile, to complicate matters further, the Church appears to have incontrovertible evidence that the Messiah has returned. And He is not what anyone expected.
Grappling with the human condition, the timeless themes of love and sacrifice, and the tensions that arise between science and faith, The Son of Man is a near-future mystery thriller building toward a shocking revelation.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
A thrilling read. If you've ever read a book where there are several events happening at once, you know a great author ties it all together seamlessly. This is that book! A gripping, almost fantastical bunch of events that hold your attention at every chapter. He ties science and religion together in a gripping tale of quantum reality.
Son of Man by Chris May is a fun exploration of religion, time travel, and quantum physics. In the near-future world shown in Son of Man, most significant issues have been resolved with an abundance of energy, yet young women are still afflicted by a novel and unresolved illness. In this context, the story follows a group of Chicagoland-based research physicists who are trying to develop a unified theory of physics. For reasons that will only become clear later, the Church is closely monitoring this group's development behind the scenes. Beautifully written and captivating, this novel has a lot of twists and turns and is truly thought-provoking. I could really relate to several of the characters.
A futuristic story that begins with a global crisis. A disease is spreading fast and no one seems to know why or how. A team of physicists know of an experiment gone wrong and ultimately discover secrets that are quite disturbing. What makes this book so interesting is the way the author brings science and religion together. A great mystery that will have you not wanting to put it down until you are done!
Smart, fast-paced, and deeply engaging. A gripping blend of science and faith, Chris May’s The Son of Man imagines a near-future where quantum breakthroughs collide with religion and a mysterious global disease. Suspenseful and thought-provoking, it asks what happens when humanity confronts both its limits and the possibility of the Messiah’s return.
The mixture of religion and science is perfect for this exciting book that deals with the metaphysical. It all reminded myself of those blockbuster movies that excites and makes someone think. How the chapters were names made the book not so ordinary and I want myself to read again.
