Cloning experiment could bring about the Second Coming in physician's new thriller
CAMDEN, S.C. (MMD Newswire) April 29, 2009 -- His Kingdoms Come: The Parousia Project by Robert Kiger examines the ethics and the possibility of cloning a historic person from the DNA found in religious relics.
Modern science meets the religious past in His Kingdoms Come: The Parousia Project. Scientist Miles St. Clair has a special talent for repairing damaged or incomplete DNA chromosomal strands. When his initial cloning of an ancient Merovingian king suddenly evolves to include experiments with the DNA found on a sacred religious relic, St. Clair struggles with the ethical and spiritual ramifications of engineering the Second Coming itself.
Kiger has said that he wrote this thriller because of his own fascination with the quest for the Holy Grail. He also wanted to explore the ancient myth of a sacred marriage, which was supposedly covered up for centuries by the religious community. Using poems and a book-within-a-book, Kiger examines major world and ancient religious events, intending to craft a startlingly fresh look at the prophecy of Christ's return.
"In the vein of The Da Vinci Code comes a fictional work that raises challenging questions about Christianity in a tale featuring suspense, intrigue... [Readers] will be treated to fantastical revelations from other pawns in the plan, including stock villains, guardians and paramours. Narrated in the third person, the story covers multiple perspectives-from Miles' wrestling with the moral implications of his assignment to Maurice's manipulative scheming. Kiger's a retired cardiologist who reveals his research methods and reasoning at the novel's end. He clearly did the thorough work required to delve into both theological history and modern science."-Kirkus Discoveries
