Description: In Michael Casher’s third novel, Providence, The Evermore Trilogy concludes. The third and final chapter of the Trilogy finds Jack and Unim reunited against a world-wide conspiracy to silence the truth about life after death, a plot that has not gone unnoticed by rulers of a dozen afterlife planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. Verona Petrov was once Earth’s first ambassador to the planet Zaroz but now she is a brilliant scientist and teacher at Foxboro University in Pennsylvania and she's determined to prove that the dead live on after their first-time experience on Earth. Her belief in afterlife planets has garnered her a prestigious and controversial reputation as well as a hefty grant to conduct her research. But it also put a price on her head from certain people who feel she's a threat to business as usual and a cherished way of life on Earth. When the bullets start flying and the proverbial hits the fan, Jack and Unim are caught in the crossfire.
Notes: FROM THE AUTHOR: In my novels I employ science fiction themes such as alien abduction, the creation of artificial life, time travel, the afterlife, the dreamworld and supernatural phenomena in order to explore these topics for their own merit but I also use them as tools for exploring many contemporary issues such as copycat business practices, consumer responsibility, unethical health care policies and the need for national health care insurance, racism and bigotry, responsible public behavior, diversity, technological dependency, misplaced values, false patriotism, shadow government activity and unbridled personal ambition. I do this through in-depth character development, semi-omniscient narration, action and dialogue, all in the third person. I also inject a little foul language (not much compared to most fiction these days), some romance (but no graphic sex whatsoever), violence (only that which is necessary for character and plot development) and a lot of lampooning and humor. Something for everyone but the biggest offering is adventure for thinkers and seekers.
