Opis

The Seventh Prophecy is a supernatural thriller set in the heartland of Borneo. Deep within the forested uplands of Borneo lies a mysterious, remote, and uninhabited region of unique significance to indigenous tribes and long held taboo. Tribal folklore dictates that for the living to breach its supernatural ramparts means certain death. They believe it to be a sacred place where the spirits of their ancestors dwell; guardians of an even deeper secret. One the Land itself fiercely defends. A top professor of physicist stumbles across the laboratory notebooks and discarded experimental apparatus of Adam Palmer, his disgraced but once brilliant postdoctoral researcher. Dropping all other research commitments, the professor decides to concentrate on the remarkable ground breaking premise found within the notebooks. This becomes the catalyst for a 'state of the art' joint scientific and prospecting expedition to central Borneo. For the first time in the Land's long history, its defences have been breached and its secret, the key to which two very different men are seeking, is in danger of being revealed. One, Professor Claudio Fitzpatrick, is on a quest for the final solution to a far reaching theory: a theory he believes pivotal in saving mankind from itself. The other, Nathaniel Dixon, the chief executive of a large multinational mining corporation and sponsor of the expedition, is driven by an all-consuming lust for power and will do anything to achieve it, however corrupt and immoral. Terrifyingly, tribal folklore becomes all too real when the experiments conducted by Fitzpatrick unwittingly create an imbalance in the fundamental interactions of nature. The only person who can avert disaster is Adam Palmer; academic turned adventurer and climber. His new assignment, as the expedition's guide and trouble shooter, turns into a life and death struggle, not only against Dixon's foot-soldiers, but also against hitherto unknown quantum forces.
