The Reality Matrix


SOMETHING VERY REAL IS
THREATENING TO TERMINATE OUR PLANET.
SOMETHING FROM OUTSIDE . . . .

Bill Van Wyk knows only that something is seriously wrong: statistical analysis proves it. Olaf Siggurdsson knows the approximate destruct time, but not what to do about it.

Vie and Tory Merlin have at least some idea of what needs to be done, but accomplishing it is something else, nonetheless they set out together, in a pickup truck and a white Caddy, to save reality as we know it ... though not, perhaps, as it is.

THE REALITY MATRIX is an incredible adventure novel—and it is also just plain incredible in its integration of the Tao of physics, computer modeling, cosmology, and games, among other things. Its people are memorably human, its premises . . . unusual.
