WHAT IF THE EARTH YOU KNEW WAS JUST THE BEGINNING?

A New York banker is descending into madness.
A being from an advanced civilization is racing to stay alive.
A dead man must unlock the secrets of an unknown dimension to save his loved ones.

From the visions of Socrates in ancient Athens, to the birth of free will aboard a spaceship headed to Earth, The Unity Game tells a story of hope and redemption in a universe more ingenious and surprising than you ever thought possible.

Metaphysical thriller and interstellar mystery, this is a ‘complex, ambitious and thought-provoking novel’ from an exciting and original new voice in fiction.

A towering fortress of mortar and stone, the Cathedral of the Goddess looms over the city of Bonnehampton and casts its shadow across the land. Within the Cathedral, faithful clerics command divine powers to heal, to purify, and to punish.

For an injured woodcutter in the nearby countryside, the Cathedral is his only hope for recovering from a crippling wound. For a non-human scavenger living in the city slums, the Cathedral is the authority that keeps his race oppressed. And for a mystic savage dwelling in the wilds beyond the city’s reach, the Cathedral is an as-of-yet unknown entity, though it will soon threaten the very survival of his people.

Fate will bring these three young men together. The Cathedral will make them outcasts. And being outcasts will make them brothers.
