Description
Self-Sacrifice to Save the Planet. The year is 2065. Following a freak encounter with a mysterious woman, Brian, a bored and frustrated dentist in the midst of a personal crisis, finds himself in the position to expose a conspiracy to control world population. Fifty-five years earlier, the manipulators — a mysterious group with aims to influence the course of the world — set in motion an irreversible chain of events by creating genetically engineered prophets with God-like powers who healed the sick and preached self-sacrifice as the ultimate good, redefining humanity’s course. Now, betrayed by their ruthless creators, the prophets are being hunted. Standing in the way of their annihilation and a resulting cover-up are Brian and his unlikely allies — a radiologist and a woman with a dangerous secret — who must all overcome their personal baggage to give the world its only chance to finally learn the truth.
About the author
J J Eldridge is a British author who was born in 1961. After a career in the British Army, he has since worked in conflict resolution in many parts of Africa and the Middle East. He began to experiment with fiction in 2005 and Moral Hazard is his first published novel. The book and its sequel are strongly influenced by his interest in the increasingly blurred and converging lines between mythology, mysticism, philosophy, religion and science.
