Spiral Nebula
Spiral Nebula deals with the sudden demise of
civilization. A group of scientists are seeking a cheap source of energy.
They succeed beyond their wildest dreams when they stumble upon
anti-matter. Anti-matter utterly destroys any (normal) matter that it
touches -- such as puny scientists and the world that they live on. In an instant
they and their world are reduced to incandescent ash. The ash is scattered to
the far reaches of the galaxy, where the devastation continues in a chain
reaction. Billions of souls are lost in the holocaust. A conglomerate of these
souls, all that remains of humanity, is invested in a bodiless entity.
For
want of a better name, we will call him George.
George is severely punished for his part in the devastation,
after which he is taken in hand by a God-like entity who charges him with the
formidable task of rebuilding the world and gives him the tools with which to do
it.
The second part of the book deals with George's successes
and failures. Will he succeed and will he do it right this time, or do his
successors have to repeat the cosmic experiment ad infinitum?
Finally ... Is this about the past or the future. You the
reader must decide ... or read the sequel.

Review of
Spiral Nebula
"George's
mission is to rebuild what he has destroyed: 'You must recreate a
solar system with at least one planet suitable for viable life and evolve
it into sentience, and do it right this time, else it will have to be done
again.'
This is quite
a project for a 75-page book: to call it fast-paced would be an
understatement. It involves discussion of modern physics and recasts
the course of human evolution, and in the process, is often
entertaining."

I enjoyed Spiral Nebula very much. Obviously you had fun
writing it - it came out quite clearly in your prose. The only question
that came to mind some time after I finished it, is how come you didn't
introduce music into the tale? Humour got in, but not music. Perhaps in
the sequel.
