Introduction
Be prepared for a journey, an expedition
that draws together fringe science, psychic powers, alternate dimensions, time
travel, past lives, miracles, folklore, consciousness, conspiracy and
nostalgia, in a soap opera for the soul.
Welcome to the new paranormal/science fiction series entitled ‘Seven
Point Eight’.
Crossing genres and gender appeal, it
blends character driven plot with an intriguing story line, full of geeky
science underpinning a thrilling and clever plot.
‘Seven Point Eight is a twist of scifi
confusion that asks some interesting questions. If one had special abilities to
travel out of body, what would one do with them? What would the government do
with it if they could? How far could one go?’

Book Review
‘every
page is chock-a-block full of quantum theory, wildly idiosyncratic characters,
out-of-body experiences, weird occurrences, and loose ends, all of which are
tied together with a fanciful yet plausible conception of the grand unifying
theory underlying the world around us. Oh yeah, and there's some sex, drugs,
and rock-and-roll thrown in for kicks’.

Written
in the style of a TV series, ‘Seven Point Eight’ interweaves the human dramas
of love, betrayal, bitterness and above all, courage in a world
where everyone must face their own dark shadow.
Plus, it asks some pretty existential questions regarding the meaning of our
lives and destiny, our karma and dharma, and last but not least, God and the
universe.
This plays out through the lives of five
key characters:
·
Tahra – the smart, provocative
and psychically talented new recruit.
·
Paul - the boundary-breaking
physicist.
·
Max - the enigmatic businessman
with military connections.
·
Ava - the intelligent
geneticist, bewildered by her surreal experiences.
·
Sam - the bitter
artist/musician who, together with Ava, seeks answers to a shrouded past.
‘Seven Point Eight: The First Chronicle’
lays the groundwork, and sweeps through the 40s, 50s and 60s to modern day in a
wild nostalgic, scientific, paranormal ride.
The physicist, Paul, begins a quest to measure the soul but soon founds
himself swept into Max’s world, where research is sold to the military at the
highest bid. When the talented psychic,
Tahra, walks into his life, they soon embark on a ground-breaking project
designed to stretch the frontiers of exploration, only to make a reality
shattering discovery….
"Captivating
and intelligently written - definitely could appeal to fans of Star Trek, Star
Wars, Dan Brown books, fans of the Jodie Foster film 'Contact' and anyone who
loves X-Men"
