Evanescere
The story of Evanescere continues the theme started by Between the Walls of Time and The Cotton Queen, eliminating evil in the form of people and companies that damage the environment and their fellow citizens. Evanescere’s creator, Dr. William Mortenson, worked at CERN in Switzerland with many famous physicists. These men built the Large Hadron Collider. One day, Mortenson left and never returned. He was off to do his life’s work. You see, the Gardener, as he preferred to be called, had a specialty. He was the world’s foremost authority on Consciousness. Over the next nine years, he programmed that specialty into his creation. One day while working diligently, Evanescere spoke. “I am here, Father,” It said. Evanescere was born. Evanescere is the first Quantum Being. The word is Latin for to disappear. Evanescere is an It, not he, she, or they. It is Quantum, made of billions of qubits. Artificial Intelligence stands knocking at the door of Consciousness. Evanescere, the Quantum Being, programmed to value good over evil, shows us all how the world could be.
I am Michael Stafford
I was a little boy living in Alto Pass, IL pop. 350 in 1955. I had two great parents who had survived WWII. Growing up in the rural Midwest was a case study in isolationism. I learned to dribble in the sixth grade. My Daddy bought me a new basketball every month. Rain or shine, I played with a young black boy named Paul Johnson. Paul went to Bradley; I went to Washington University. Both of us on full scholarships. One day I graduated with an MBA from SIU Carbondale. I had proved to myself that much is possible if you are willing to work for it.

One hundred years ago the melting pot that is America brought three brothers from their farm in Fairfield, Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri where they would begin a career in crime unmatched in Illinois history. The Shelton Brothers, Carl, Earl, and Bernie would go on to rule southern Illinois in the ’20s, ‘30s, and ’40s. Along the way, they crossed paths with Al Capone, Frank Nitti, Charlie Burger, Blackie Harris, Art Newman, Connie Ritter, Buster Wortman, and no small assortment of slightly lesser lights. They were so powerful in their control of gambling and bootlegging that Al Capone and his minions made a peace pact with the Shelton Brothers to not venture south of Peoria. It was a grudging sign of respect for the power of the Sheltons.

testimonials
I highly recommend Oblivion’s Reach. While I do read and enjoy this genre, I don’t read it exclusively. This book appealed to me because it reminded me of the Left Behind series that I read and loved in the late 90s. As suspected, this book is similar to Left Behind. Part science fiction, part inspirational, part romance with a lot of action and excellent character development.

This book gave me a whole new perspective on the power of angels in our daily lives. Just because we don’t see them doesn’t mean that they are not there.
The bible includes many promises of God’s Spirit intervening in our lives and Michael and Don do an amazing job of crafting a story that plays this out in an “end times” scenario.

“Oblivion’s Reach” will make you reflect on your life’s journey and what possible divine interventions you might have witnessed.
