OUR LEADING FUTURIST AND A CELEBRATED POET--IN THE MOST IMPORTANT BREAKTHROUGH NOVEL SINCE DUNE! SYNOPSIS: Frank Herbert, author of the world famous Dune, is one of today's leading futurist thinkers. Bill Ransom is a poet, a Pulitzer and National Book Award nominee. Together, in a bold and unprecedented collaboration, they have crafted a book that combines the outward sweep of SF at its farseeing best with the intense inward laser of the poet's eye. As demanding and spectacular as the vision it serves, The Jesus Incident is as much a voyage as a novel: a breakthrough work of speculative fiction that leaps to the end of evolution, to the surface of a poisoned planet as profoundly realized as Dune's Arrakis...to witness mankind and his creations trading places in a ceremony that illuminates the shimmering connections between free will and destiny that will determine the ultimate course of our future. -and-voidShip; Ship; worShip. Raja Flattery, as chaplain/psychiatrist of the Tau Ceti expedition, had participated in the development of the vast artificial consciousness known as Ship that had guided humankind to the stars. Now Ship has its own destiny--and its own demands. And Raja finds himself awakened from coldsleep to assist in the creation of a new order of man that can participate in the ultimate act of evolution: worShip. Set against the background of Frank Herbert's classic Destination: Void, here is a stunning exploration of the fragile ecological balance between consciousness, man and machine.
