Book of the Romes

About the Book

As the logic of evolution comes to a head in the middle of the Nineteenth-Century, an older Frenchman, haunted by an odd event in his youth, tracks the journey of a strange stone object westward to a pre-Civil-War America where he and his cousin, a young scientist, and a strong-willed woman they meet under trying circumstances, match wits with a wealthy European entrepreneur to try to prevent, if they can, the possible loss of one world and the uncertain birth of another.

About the Author

The Blessing Series by William Barnwell has been called by the New York Times “an excellent combination of science fiction and fantasy” with a “satisfying conclusion.” Book of the Romes continues the series which appeared in the early eighties and which dramatizes the elusive nature of evolution’s purpose.
