Deus ex machina: the God machine

Abstract

God is our salvation from eternal death. That's what Professor Nicholas Updown grew up believing. But what if there is no God? What then? These questions lead Nicholas down an unprecedented path of scientific exploration that unlocks the secrets to traveling through time. The wake of this discovery sweeps up a cast of odd and ambitious characters, including Updown's sultry wife, a no holds barred Presidential candidate, a mysterious hooded killer, a curious journalist, a crusading cop, the founder of Forever Life, and a whole slew of uniformed Time Travelers. Along the way, Nicholas Updown learns a thing or two about the secrets of the universe and those in his own life.
