Book Description

From acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles comes a cutting-edge thriller in which the next phase of human evolution may not be human at all....

In a secret government lab, America's top scientists work on Trinity -- a supercomputer that could surpass the power of the human mind. As the project's ethicist, Dr. David Tennant works in a firestorm of limitless science and ruthless ambition. After a fellow scientist is murdered, David uncovers who the killer is. Desperate, he turns to Rachel Weiss, the psychiatrist probing the nightmares that have plagued him since joining the project, and both are forced to flee for their lives.

Pursued around the globe, David and Rachel piece together the truth behind Project Trinity, and the apocalyptic power it possesses. But Trinity's countdown has already begun, and humanity is now held hostage by a form of life that cannot be destroyed. The only hope for survival lies in the shocking connection that exists between Trinity and David's tortured mind. Mankind's future hangs in the balance -- and the price of failure is extinction.

Download Description

From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author comes a cutting-edge new thriller rich with imagination and vision. In the heart of North Carolina's Research Triangle stands a corporate laboratory much like the others nearby. But behind its walls, America's top scientists work around the clock to attain the holy grail of the twenty-first century -- a supercomputer that surpasses the power of the human mind. Appointed by the president as ethicist to Project Trinity, Dr. David Tennant finds himself in a pressure cooker of groundbreaking science and colossal ambition. When his friend and fellow scientist is murdered, David discovers that the genius who runs Project Trinity was responsible and that his own life is in danger. Unable to reach the president, and afraid to trust his colleagues, David turns to Rachel Weiss, the psychiatrist probing the nightmares that have plagued him during his work at Trinity. Rachel is skeptical of David's fears, but when an assassin strikes, the two doctors must flee for their lives. Pursued across the globe by ruthless National Security Agency operatives, David and Rachel struggle to piece together the truth behind Project Trinity and the enormous power it could unleash upon the world. As constant danger deepens their intimacy, Rachel realizes the key to Trinity lies buried in David's disturbed mind. But Trinity's clock is ticking... Mankind is being held hostage by a machine that cannot be destroyed. Its only hope -- a terrifying chess game between David and the Trinity computer, with the cities of the world as pawns. But what are the rules? How human is the machine? Can one man and woman change the course of history? Man's future hangs in the balance, and the price of failure is extinction.

pretty good.......2007-06-08

i would say the last 100 pages were the best part of the book, however that doesnt mean the rest of the book was bad, it just means the last 100 pages were that good. though i didnt think the ending was great, i didnt think it was horrible either. it was just a different perspective that i thought of.

some parts of the book were predictable, other parts were just far fetched, but i would definately read this book again in the future if just for those last 100 pages.

another thing, i measure books by if when im reading it, i cant wait to find out what happens, this is one of those types of books for me.

Not One of My Favorites.......2007-04-27

I've read eight of Greg Iles' novels, and THE FOOTPRINTS OF GOD is probably the most disappointing one.

I do admire what Iles tried to do here. This book has an enormously ambitious sci-fi plot that tries to combine all sorts of interesting ideas about religion, technology, quantum mechanics, and new age spirtuality. Unfortunately, Iles' reach exceeds his grasp in this case, and the end result is something of a mess. There are just too many ideas and concepts thrown into this book, and they never really gel together into a well-paced, believable story.

Even worse, there is no depth of characterization in this novel. All the characters are cardboard, and the villains are simply cartoons. The romance between the two main characters just kind of happens and there's no real effort to develop it. When I don't really care for the protagonists, it's hard for me to feel truly engaged by a book such as this one. That's a shame, because Iles' is normally very good at creating fascinating characters.

I enjoy most of Iles' work, and heartily recommend novels such as THE QUIET GAME, DEAD SLEEP, BLOOD MEMORY, and 24 HOURS. Iles is a writer of enormous intelligence and range, and I give him credit for taking chances. But my advice is to skip this particular effort.

Who is God?.......2007-04-03

A mixture of religion, science, philosophy, hi-tech, and murder. This is the story of one mans search for ultimate power and another mans quest to stop him. A journey seen through the pursuers eyes from present time to the birth of the universe with possible scenarios for the future.
Written in the 1st person, every chapter moves right along culminating in an ending which although improbable is a distinct possibility.

Not My Favorite Book By Iles.......2007-03-02

I give it 3 stars because while I don't agree with the views of God that are portrayed and the fact that I'm not a big science fiction reader, I still think the overall storyline is interesting. This was my second novel by Iles, and after reading 24 Hours, this was kind of a let down.

Footprints of God Honors Review.......2007-01-29

Footprints of God, I thought was a great book. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and it was a definite page-turner. The mix between science and religion was really well done, and Greg Iles also made it seem like it could actually happen. Before I started reading the book, I had very low expectation for it because it was another book that was recommended by the school, and most of the time those books are not very interesting. But I will be the first to admit that I was dreadfully wrong in that assumption, because this book was a knockout. My expectations were met and exceeded. I think that one of the greatest strengths of this book was how Greg gave the reader the perspective of what was going on through Tennant's eyes, and the Trinity people's eyes. This aspect of the book kept the reader excited about what was happening next because there was never a dull moment. The biggest weakness of this book was perhaps its tendency to stay on what topic and elaborate on it for too long. Sometimes they would talk about his delusions for example, for pages and pages and occasionally it got boring. But for the most part, I couldn't put down this book. Greg Iles is a great writer, and I would read any piece of literature by him again in a heartbeat. His style of writing really flows and it is not choppy or confusing. He makes a very complex subject, very easy to understand through his clear explanations and the fluidity of his writing. I would recommend this book to anyone that can read, or even if you can't, maybe someone could read it to you. It is definitely worth it! Most of all, I was fascinated by the concepts that Iles was able to come up with. First of all, the idea of a quantum super computer that could crack any code and perform nearly impossible tasks within seconds was fascinating. Second, the idea that the human brain can be used by itself to make decisions and answer questions without needing a body is incredible. Iles had an extremely large imagination and he put all of his crazy thoughts into this book, and it turned out magical. After I read this book, I came away with a positive feeling. I started to think more about God, and what he is capable of. I wondered if we have only seen a little of what God can do, and if he hasn't shown us anything yet. I loved this book, and I think that you will too.

Fulfilling Your Destiny.......2007-03-30

O'Leary tells the stories of Raoul Wallenberg, Sir Thomas More, Florence Nightingale, Sir Winston Churchill, Booker T. Washington, General Jimmy Doolittle, and Janusz Korchak. The courage, integrity, focus, passion, and daring of each of these individuals presents us with patterns for living a successful life that O'Leary amplifies on in the second half of the book. Our success or failure at doing what God has called us to do is in our hands. He explains how the journey begins, how to overcome in the valley of idols, and how to ultimately fulfill God's destiny for your life.

The storytelling is superb, but the real meat of this book lies in O'Leary's analysis of what made these people's lives remain important to us often centuries later. It's inspiring reading that should help anyone desiring to make God's call on their life a reality.
