| Publisher Description: A human embryo is allowed to preview the world before deciding whether to be born. The embryo named Prospect will meet a range of people to help him make up his mind. Among them, a greeting card writer, a sociopath, and Prospect's very own inscrutable parents.Trish Mesmer is the scientist charged with counseling Prospect, though she has more hidden agendas then a centipede has legs. At the same time, Trevor Grueling grows increasingly committed to derailing the bio-experiment all together. This speculative tale is served up with equal helpings of whimsy, dread, and hope.At heart, this is literary fiction with a slightly sci-fi premise. The book may not appeal to hardcore sci-fi readers. Those who appreciate the trippy, modern world on display in the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" or "Being There" may find themselves at home.** AUTHOR NOTE. In May 2013, the author is releasing a revised edition of PROSPECT which includes book reviews, discussion questions, and a preview of the opening 20 pages of his next novel THE HOPE STORE. Also the book has been re-proofed. |
