Oneiro
Philip Carr is a wildly successful man, but when faced with protecting the scientific secrets of a Greek island from those who would use them for malice and greed, Philip finds himself in the greatest challenge of his life in John Goldenberg’s “Oneiro” (ISBN 9781419693830, BookSurge, 2008).
Philip Carr, handsome, fortyish, with a superb education, and a formidable strength of character has advanced himself to the top of the legal profession. He is in a position to enjoy riches, plenty of women, and world travel from his comfortable Manhattan home. Then his law firm sends him to an unnamed Greek Island, informing him that the situation involves a great deal of money.
Once Philip reaches the island, he is made a generous offer to assume the island’s presidency as well as chancellorship of its university. In awe of the university’s staff, objectives, and accomplishments, Phil accepts the position, but unwittingly, his unique talents act as a catalyst to the development of several events. Philip soon realizes that forces are at work to terminate or appropriate the university’s stunning technology for their own purposes.
Phil is challenged with mastering the advanced skills and arcane knowledge of the island while maintaining the island’s safety and secrecy in a vicious struggle with enemies, both known and unknown. Among the issues at stake are the engineering of human evolution, oil depletion, ending world hunger, and the spiritual beliefs of millions.
“Oneiro” is a fast-paced techno thriller filled with credible and meaningful scientific detail. Goldenberg describes his novel as “hard” science fiction “based on actual science, or educated conjecture.”
