Is all that evidence of the afterlife? Or is it just neurobiology, as Sarah Wyman, one of Luria's young researchers suspects.For personal reasons, Luria is desperate to prove the afterlife exists. So are her wealthy, evangelist backers, who can't wait to announce the greatest discovery in human history: that God exists. A discovery that would at last reconcile science and religion.

They enlist a menacing agent who, in the name of God, will stop at nothing to terminate the project and all involved.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
