One Last Book
One Last Book is the latest addition to the Infinity Suite, a collection of books exploring the Moral Universe. This time through the medium of literary fiction, the author imagines what arrival in the afterlife might be like as well as the onward journey which follows.
Soon available from Amazon the story follows Philip Long's journey of cleansing, healing and growth as he seeks answers to the eternal questions of our purpose and origin.
His passage becomes a quest to solve these great puzzles, not just for himself, but, through the pages of his book, for all others passing his way.

Research suggests that around 50% of the human population has some form of belief in life after death.
Authors and movie makers invariably resort to sci-fi or fantasy to depict what form this existence might take. Religious leaders similarly resort to mysticism, poets and artists often following in their footsteps.
In One Last Book, I have taken a different path.
In what I call a scientifically sympathetic exploration, I speculate on how our brains might evolve beyond the death of our biological hosts and the experiences this might generate.
Through the medium of our ongoing physical and emotional experiences we come to understand the nature of the afterlife. Given the premise that this occurs in a moral universe, I suggest that these experiences form part of a transformative journey, drawing on memory but building into new discoveries.
Along the way, Philip devotes much of his energy to understanding how the afterlife functions, its topology and mechanisms, evolved as they are from distant relatives of our contemporary science and biology. But One Last Book is primarily a human story, it deals with grief, guilt, prejudice et all as it drives us forwards.
Though I have borrowed much from my own life, this is a work of fiction and the characters and events featured here are pure invention.
