A fugitive physicist masquerading as a preacher is desperate to possess a meteorite that will alter the human genome. Life as a landscape painter on an inherited Texas ranch is easy for Alex Colvin until a strange meteorite shatters his complacency. Alex unknowingly possesses the final component of an outlandish physics experiment. The Reverend Lucas Ruthlier, a fugitive physicist and leader of the Church of the God Particle, needs the meteorite to complete his experiment and fulfill his lifelong quest. Alex and an irreverent reporter race to solve the mystery of Ruthlier's experiment, whose result will alter humanity--starting with Ruthlier himself. Based on the race to discover a unifying theory of modern physics and cosmology, CHURCH OF THE GOD PARTICLE is a thriller that sweeps across the high plains of Kansas, uncovers treason in Cold War Romania, and tumbles into Austin, Texas.
