The stories interweave the philosophy and science of love, life, death, and everything in between--with a few ghosts and mathematical theories thrown in. Immortology poses questions and presents possibilities as to what might happen if scientists took a closer look at the afterlife, studied how the laws of physics could explain the persistence of consciousness after death, and then took a step beyond death's door.
The quest that began in the Immortology trilogy continues
