Once a rising star in neuroscience, Kierk Suren is now homeless, broken by his all-consuming quest to find a scientific theory of consciousness. But when he's offered a spot in a prestigious postdoctoral program, he decides to rejoin society and vows not to self-destruct again. Instead of focusing on his work, however, Kierk becomes obsessed with another project--investigating the sudden and suspicious death of a colleague. As his search for truth brings him closer to Carmen Green, another postdoc, their list of suspects grows, along with the sense that something sinister may be happening all around them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Revelations\u003c\/i\u003e, not unlike its main character, is ambitious and abrasive, challenging and disarming. Bursting with ideas, ranging from Greek mythology to the dark realities of animal testing, to some of the biggest unanswered questions facing scientists today, \u003ci\u003eThe Revelations\u003c\/i\u003e is written in muscular, hypnotic prose, and its cyclically dreamlike structure pushes the boundaries of literary fiction. Erik Hoel has crafted a stunning debut of rare power--an intense look at cutting-edge science, consciousness, and human connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Hoel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419750224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419750229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry N.
