Worlds in Collision cover
We loved Mike’s first book, ‘The Nearly Men’, which was one of five finalists in the science category of the USA Book News Awards 2008, and are excited to hear that his second book, ‘Worlds in Collision’ is now available. The book “looks at the discord between technological advance and Christian belief” and covers events such as the torching of Benedictine monk Giordano Bruno by the Holy Inquisition for suggesting that civilisations might exist on other planets, and that these might have their own deities; and the murder of Michael Servetus by the Calvinists, for propounding the view that the heart was merely a pump for the circulation system, and not the vehicle of the soul.

The book is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, Blackwell, and WH Smiths. We’ve also ordered a copy and will give it to a reader of Napier news. Just email me to enter the draw, and I’ll randomly pick a winner during electronica.
