Love in the Ruins

Dr. Tom More has created a miraculous instrument—the Ontological Lapsometer, a kind of stethoscope of the human spirit. With it, he plans to cure mankind of its spiritual flu. Though scorned by the experts, Tom embarks on an outrageous odyssey to prove himself. But in attempting to save the world from destruction, our hero ultimately begins to understand what he can never really know—the value of life and its corresponding susceptibility to time, chance, and ruin.
