Troubled by their lack of self-awareness, an alien race of thinkers known as "e;Reasons"e; set out on a cosmic expedition to find the answer to life's toughest conundrum: The Existential Problem. But what seems like a promising discovery on Planet Earth quickly becomes a deadly struggle of global proportions as the hostilities of the human world turn this otherwise peaceful alien race into a ruthless killing force. Mankind eventually finds itself under the oppressive rule of Reason-kind with the exception of a few who manage to escape with their freedoms. And as the last free humans on the planet--an American counter-terrorism expert alongside his brilliant (and super-foxy) engineer, an Islamic apostate with a newfound perspective on God, a rebellious college dropout with deep ties to the Chinese criminal underworld, and an Argentinian rock musician and his entourage of pot-smoking eccentrics--come together to fight their extraterrestrial invaders, an unexpected Reason newcomer to Earth takes them by surprise. This one, however, being more self-aware than the others, is better suited to solve the Existential Problem, which in turn could lead to the liberation of the oppressed human race. The Immortal Reason is more than just a book--it is a meta-fictional work that encompasses many literary genres from global espionage to intergalactic romance. Seriously, this uniquely-written novel has it all, including short essays on key philosophical subjects that are central to the main characters that drive its multidimensional narrative. Every essay is rendered directly from the mind of a main character in order to provide as detailed and intimate a profile of such. The cosmic voyager First Reason makes its introduction to the readers by reflecting on the Existential Problem, or the totality of mysteries surrounding the inherent meaning of life (or lack thereof). The Islamic apostate Sheikh Abdul Malik first ponders over the limits of religion before establishing himself as the wisest voice on the topics of spiritual awareness and oneness with The Divine (or what he believes to be the real God). The counter-terrorism expert Donovan "e;Shark"e; Patterson enters the plot by reminding us that power and control are inescapable aspects of reality, and to survive in such a dog-eat-dog reality, one must learn how to play the "e;political game."e; The scholarly rebel NCsshA ng rants vehemently about the importance of anti-establishmentarianism (yes, that is an actual word) before cementing herself as a character that is not to be fu**ed with. As for everything else in the universe that is best understood in an altered state of consciousness, the darkly-humored Baplo Garcia sheds light on how marijuana can literally save lives as he shows why an absurdist like himself belongs in a serious book like this one. Old or young, rich or poor, human or alien...The Immortal Reason satisfies all who crave a good, original read.
