The Universe Revealed is my attempt to discuss more thoroughly the main questions that we humans should ask about our existence, our universe and our place in it. These are mostly my thoughts on science, religion and philosophy as it applies to the human condition. My first book, The Theory of Nothing, covered many subjects. This book will be more specific to the big questions about life and what it means.

Thousands of years have passed since mankind's extinction, now the remaining society of Humanoid robots on Mars and Machine-like robots on Europa are at war. Ava, a stealth Mars-unit is sent on a mission to Europa to learn more about the enemy's new secret super weapon: the first biological human in 8000 years. (Now a featured Wattpad story, made it to 6 on the hot list!) *** This story is a mix of Nier: Automata, Do Androids Dream of Electric sheep, and what I thought Saturn's Children would be until I got to the half-way point. Updates are: Monday: New Chapter Wednesday: Poem (thoughts of featured character in the chapter) or Data File (extended info of elements brought up in previous chapter. Friday: New Chapter (usually try to end these with cliffhangers ;D) I haven't failed with this update schedule yet so don't worry! Keep reading and you'll have material to read for months to come! I value everyone's feedback so please vote and comment your thoughts on the themes and characters as I introduce them :)

Two years ago, Kate Cross kidnapped criminal profiler Gaspard Booth and tortured him for ten days, but instead of killing him, she decided to let him go. She turned herself in, and now Kate has been locked away for the rest of her life, while Gaspard is in a prison of another kind---alcoholic, disfigured and disabled, powerless to get those ten horrific days off his mind. He continues to visit Kate in prison once a week as the body-count still rises, saying that only he can get her to confess as to the whereabouts of more of her 'followers,' but even he knows the truth---he can't stay away.
