Sword of a Thousand Suns

by Norman P Johnson

Overview

Stirred from the ashes of Tesla's grand experiments in Colorado and the Russian Tunguska event, Sword of a Thousand Suns is the story of a global fight at CERN over the next great discovery of nature's laws that, like Shiva's Sword, could be a godly power or planet destroyer.

Physics dropout, Dr. Brad Jorsen, is rocked out of his hermit's cabin in Crested Butte, Colorado when he saves Dr. Brenda Drake, a prominent physicist from the University of Michigan, in a high-profile hiking accident that kills many top-tier American physicists. A popular religious right-wing organization, in return for political control of the US government, secretly becomes the stiff-arm of an international conspiracy to control the next great power upgrade at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. Brenda is assigned as the lead American at CERN, where a new gravity particle with more power ever imagined is being propagated by the Russians-now at the helm, but under scrutiny from the West. Brad follows to Switzerland to protect Brenda and help decipher this new theory, where on top of Russian secrecy, he is met by a well-timed European tour of the leader of the deadly religious cult.

About the Author

Dr. Johnson splits his home between Woodinville, Washington and Molokai, Hawaii. He is married and has two grown daughters. Some of his many former lives include working under the AEC performing high-energy and theoretical particle experiments at Argonne National Laboratory. He later became one of the "Higgs Hunters" at the short-lived Superconducting Super Collider, including an in-between stint with NASA developing large-scale upper-atmospheric computer simulations. Dr. Johnson later helped design and deploy large-scale cellular and satellite digital telecommunications systems worldwide. He loves movies and has spent thousands of hours in obscure projection booths showing vintage 35mm films. He has several more works in process, including a sequel to Sometimes...I Don't Remember Much of the '70s and "Quantum Netopia," a novel about the first engineered GMO humans. In his off hours, he enjoys volcano skiing, raising chickens, deep-sea fishing, and scuba diving.
