Deeley Carr, a physics prodigy, is excited to be offered the position of Research Associate at the Center for Advanced Particle Research (CAPR), a leading research institution focusing on particle physics in America. While CAPR only hired PhD-qualified staff, Deeley, a Master's graduate, was an exception, securing the position after a senior researcher at CAPR recognized her online publications. Shortly after joining the institution, Deeley made a groundbreaking discovery. She developed a theory that makes it possible to retrieve memories from black holes, a goal initially set by the former visionary President Quinto, in an effort to conquer death. However, amid keen government interest in her work, she quickly learns that if her discovery falls into the wrong hands, it would be a lethal tool and weapon for surveillance and control. What will Deeley do with her discovery? Find out in Quinto’s Challenge by Peter McChesney.
Teasing the idea of human beings finding a way to cheat death through scientific and technological advancement in the future, McChesney explores the implications and consequences of such a feat with themes of innovation and discovery, the ethics of technology, resilience, collaboration, death, and politics. Through Deeley’s struggles, McChesney highlights some of the challenges scientists of the modern world face. They include ethical dilemmas, mental health, government interference and involvement, and public scrutiny, among others. The plot unfolds through straightforward prose that relies on purposeful conversations, which reveal the characters’ traits and give insight into their emotions. This is the first installment in the Dawn of Immortality series. Lovers of science fiction novels with a touch of political intrigue and suspense will find Quinto’s Challenge by Peter McChesney an enthralling read.
