Destroyer of Many Worlds

Winner of the Supernatural category and overall runner-up for Best Unpublished Manuscript at the 2024 — Killer Nashville International Writers’ Conference.

Destroyer of Many Worlds is a fast-paced supernatural mystery-thriller built on a provocative premise: the prophets were the physicists of their age, describing genuine features of reality in the only language available to them.

What Revelation calls the Abyss, modern science calls the Higgs field.

When a secret project combines artificial intelligence, quantum observation, the many-worlds interpretation, and cutting-edge particle physics, it does more than test the boundaries of reality—it creates a way to reach across them and summon Apollyon, the Destroyer described in Revelation.

Blending ancient secrets, biblical prophecy, advanced physics, military action, current events, conspiracy, and a startling mathematical investigation into the biblical origin and hidden significance of 9/11, Destroyer of Many Worlds asks whether science and prophecy have been describing the same universe all along.

At the heart of the story are seven original puzzles, each woven directly into the plot. Every puzzle is exceptionally difficult—but logically solvable from the clues provided. Readers can attempt to reach the answers before the characters do, compare their solutions as the mystery unfolds, or simply follow along and enjoy the discoveries.

The novel is complete and is currently being adapted for Royal Road.

Expect:

• New chapters every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Eastern, with occasional additional releases
• Seven original, logically solvable puzzles
• Artificial intelligence, the Higgs field, quantum physics, and the many-worlds interpretation
• Biblical prophecy, supernatural events, ancient mysteries, military action, and conspiracy
• A scientific interpretation of the Abyss and Apollyon from Revelation

• Optional clue sheets and bonus material available free on Patreon

Think you can solve all seven puzzles before the characters do?

A trophy will be awarded to the first reader who solves the seventh mystery after Lauren goes missing near the end of the novel.

About the story:

Former Ranger Paul Wolf left the army with battle scars, a disability, and unanswered questions. Why was he the only man found alive under the wreckage of two helicopters when he wasn't on board either one? How did he suddenly become a mathematical genius after the crash?    

While retraining as a physicist, Paul has a vision - the Archangel Gabriel tells him the world will end in seven days. Paul dismisses it as another hallucination until his former girlfriend, mathematician Lauren Romano, says she saw the angel too. The Archangel ordered Paul to prevent the catastrophe. He told Lauren to help. The key is to solve the number of the beast, the infamous 666 from the Book of Revelation.

The pair embarks on the quest together. Meanwhile, unknown to Paul and Lauren, physicist Julius LeGrand is on the same mission - except that he wants to trigger the apocalypse, not stop it. LeGrand believes the 666 solution is the means to summon Apollyon, the prophesied destroyer of Revelation 9:11, from the bottomless pit. Apollyon will end all life as we know it.  Who will achieve the solution first?

Did you know that the Great Pyramid of Giza sits precisely 66.6% of the distance from the pole to the equator? Six similar discoveries, all products of original research that you will not find anywhere else, are woven into the story. Each puzzle in Destroyer of Many Worlds is independently researchable and verifiable.
