Otherwise life would have no meaning."
Blasphemy, Douglas Preston, 2008
I found this a profoundly disturbing novel. I've been reading Mr. Preston's works coauthored with Lincoln Child since Relic and relish their series containing Pendergast. This is one of Mr. Preston's sole-authorship novels. A second-generation supercollider is constructed under a mesa in Arizona to discover the "truths" of the Big Bang at the creation of the Universe. Not far into the story, science and religion collide in a drastic and tragic fashion. Very disturbing book-very thought-provoking.
