About Time

About this ebook
This novel is more than a coming of age story. Certainly the central plot is a delicate love affair between two students whose attraction is both physical and intellectual.
Yet the theme running through the novel is one of the quest of youth for understanding. More than subjective understanding - an understanding of life and all its secrets. The passions of youth allow the unfolding of new views on knowledge and culture.
The idealism of youth is boundless and the plains of discovery stretch into a vast future. Time appears endless.
Des Greene
In my novels I try to merge the worlds of modern science (quantum theory/relativity/cosmology) with the metaphysical world of philosophy (in particular philosophy of science and theory of knowledge).The characters inhabit this world and struggle with the events of a sometimes brutal reality and the more ethereal reality of the mind.Reading the novels should lead the reader on a journey that is both physically and intellectually challenging and perhaps enlightening.
