Book Synopsis

Embark on a cosmic mystery spanning all of spacetime and beyond and delve into the nature of the cosmos, time travel, quantum physics, religion, deep time, transhumanism, metaphysics, and more. -------- Amero wakes from an eerily familiar dream in an unfamiliar bed. Within hours, he is forced onto an experimental craft and jettisoned across the galaxy alongside a mysterious, potentially homicidal man named Hann. Finding themselves in a strange yet familiar spacetime, the men are told by suspicious entities to hunt for Points, strange objects no larger than one's thumb, which are spread across the cosmos by unknown means. The purpose of the hunt is unknown. The purpose of the Points is unknown. All Amero wants is to return to his dead-end life. All Hann wants is to hunt down and destroy those responsible for his predicament. It will take a journey to the end of time itself and beyond the boundaries of every universe to know the truth--to witness the light behind the veil...for better or worse. -------- "E.S. Fein is raising the bar for quality as it's a very well-written and thought-provoking book...There are points and themes in the story that could be discussed for eons as people will have their own idea on where it leads. It's a book I would highly recommend." - Andy Whitaker, SFCrowsnest "Point of Origin was my first space opera read and my mind is blown. The story was full of the big existential questions; Who are we? Why are we here? What is love, trust, joy? The storyline addressed many important issue of religion, philosophy and societal roles. This is not a light read by any means but it certainly kept me wanting to resolve the internal and external conflicts posed from the beginning all the way to the end. If you're looking for a story to wrap your whole brain around, this is it."- D.M. Taylor, Author of The Reckoning "ES Fein has written a space opera adventure that weaves traditional science fiction, Eastern Philosophy, questions about who we really are, God and the cosmos in a very enjoyable way." - Amazon Review "The main character is an escapist self abusing homosexual that goes against about everything I believe in (except for freedom of sexual/self expression). I was uncomfortable enough to realize how good the writing and maybe the story was. Fein showed me a perspective that far differed from my own. The first half of the story was gut wrenching in many ways and very dark but I kept reading in an attempt to understand. The fact that the story caused me to experience the darkness as a witness showed me how good the writing was. The imagination and ability to stretch my imagination proved to make great storytelling. Make no mistake, this is not a feel good story but one that will make me think about it for a time to come." - Amazon Review "I would call this a more intellectual read. You don't need to be a physicist to understand it, but I did find myself going back to re-read explanations a few times over to make sure I was following along. For point of reference, I have never taken a physics class. Fein has a beautiful use of language and descriptions throughout the novel and you get a true sense of why the characters are the way they are. This novel is in true dystopian form as well. The New Covenant are brutal and there are descriptions of violence against a number of characters that may be triggering for some." - Amazon Review -------- For fans of Arthur C. Clarke, Samuel R.
