The Master of the Universe

About the Book

Is there a god of the universe? is an age-old question that isn’t yet answered satisfactorily.

A NASA scientist specializing in artificial intelligence, Dr. Ladislaw adores his mother for her high principles, and she adores her illustrious son. Her torture and death from cancer leaves him heartbroken.

Why is there such suffering if there is a god? This other question drives him to deny creation and embrace evolution.

Going beyond denial he decides to prove god doesn’t exist by making a robot indistinguishable from humans. He succeeds, and the age-old question is answered for him from a surprising source.

About the Author

WASHBOURNE HALL’S prior novel, THE ENEMIES AT THE GATE, is a cogent commentary on the life of the young during the awkward years between youth and adulthood. And now in his new novel THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, he has penned a provocative and penetrating novel which probes into the age-old question, Is there a god? And he has done it with humor. If you thought you had this question well and truly settled, be prepared to have the debate come alive all over again. And be prepared to be uproariously entertained. WASHBOURNE HALL is also the author of a book of poems entitled, THE OLD MAN OF THE HILLS, and other poems. He lives with his wife in Florida.
