For everyone's benefit, I'm going to give you all a brief synopsis of the book that has just been released into the literary jungle:
As a child, Henry (the main character) had always dreamed of being an astronaut. As time passed and circumstances developed, he found his dream frustrated; and ended up a civil engineer instead. He found himself never satisfied with what he was doing, and the frustration grew over the years, until he finally quit his job and moved back home to start a business with his father and another party.
And then he had a dream.
The dream turned his life upside-down, and gave him a glimmer of hope that his dream would be fulfilled. But not as an astronaut, per se: in the dream--the vision, if you will--he learns of a way to build a faster-than-light starship; and he is urged to complete this ship or else all of humanity may perish.
The remainder of the book has Henry and a small group of people dodging the government, trying to get their hands on the new technology; among other things I care not to divulge here lest I give away the plot of the book.
The underlying theme behind the book is the constant improvement of a person, as well as of humanity and society in general. I hope I sufficiently convey this theme to my readers.
I hope you take the time to read this work. It is, to date, my
magnum opus; and I hope everyone who reads this book can share in the dream of Henry.
