He lives in London with his wife. <br /> <br />What happens to us when we die? Perhaps the most often asked question on the planet and strangely enough the one that nobody is able to answer with any degree of conviction. Dr. Miles Fleming adopts the line of most scientists in believing that when you are dead, that is it. No heaven, no hell, no after life, simply oblivion. That is until a strange event happens to him. <br /> <br />Fleming is a brilliant young neuroscientist who has developed apparatus capable of reading human brainwaves. When his own brother contacts him after being certified dead for six whole minutes, he feels that he may have to rethink his whole outlook on the matter of death. <br /> <br />His search, deeper and deeper for the truth of the matter uncovers a frightening religious conspiracy to stage the most ambitious experiment the world has ever seen. To prove beyond doubt whether heaven or hell exists or ever existed. Fleming is left in the unenviable position of confronting his own demons to save his soul and that of humanity. <br /> <br />One reviewer seemed rather miffed that the author's physics did not stand close scrutiny. If this offended him, he has every right to say so. But personally I found the book a good read, that kept my attention throughout. It should be treated as a piece of fiction and not as scientific fact. If I wanted to read about physics I would pick up something by Einstein, rather than a book that has been written purely and simply to entertain the reader. After all one does not have to be an astronaut to write science fiction novels.

Fleming is a brilliant young neuroscientist who has developed apparatus capable of reading human brainwaves. When his own brother contacts him after being certified dead for six whole minutes, he feels that he may have to rethink his whole outlook on the matter of death.

His search, deeper and deeper for the truth of the matter uncovers a frightening religious conspiracy to stage the most ambitious experiment the world has ever seen. To prove beyond doubt whether heaven or hell exists or ever existed. Fleming is left in the unenviable position of confronting his own demons to save his soul and that of humanity.

One reviewer seemed rather miffed that the author’s physics did not stand close scrutiny. If this offended him, he has every right to say so. But personally I found the book a good read, that kept my attention throughout. It should be treated as a piece of fiction and not as scientific fact. If I wanted to read about physics I would pick up something by Einstein, rather than a book that has been written purely and simply to entertain the reader.

Zynga Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:48:01 +0000 http://thespiritmind.com/2009/11/27/the-lucifer-code/#comment-10958 I was spellbound by the plot of the book. Contrary to the book title this is not one on codes like Da Vinci but really an interesting and twisting plot about how computer technology is harnessed to decipher brain waves etc. THe characters remained a bit flat, perhaps there wasn't enough space devoted to building them, but overall a good read. I am tempted tp read another one by Cordy. <br /> <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 I was spellbound by the plot of the book.

The plot was exciting, character development was very good and gave you insight into where they had come from. The ending did provide a few twists and the book certainly kept me turning the pages all the way through. <br /> <br />The title gives a hint of the plot, although I'm not quite sure what "code" refers to, other than I know many of Cordy's other books have "code" in the title. The play of science being used in religion is an interesting concept since historically, that has not been the case. Some of the segments in the book left the reader hanging and never really resolved themselves. Hence the 4 star instead of 5. <br /> <br />Cordy has given us a thriller that definitely holds its own with some of the best. I'll be checking out some of his other books after this one.

Adams Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:41:01 +0000 http://thespiritmind.com/2009/11/27/the-lucifer-code/#comment-10956 I read this book after thoroughly enjoying Michael Cordy's previous novel, "The Miracle Strain" (now called The Miracle Code). I enjoyed this one even more! He is quite adept at incorporating the latest in science and technology into an intriguing and thrilling mystery. This one takes the reader into the near future, where breakthroughs in quantum physics and computer technology are applied to solve the ultimate question of mankind -- what happens after we die? What is discovered, and how, results in a multifaceted plot that will keep you enthralled to the very end.

His writing is solid, not splendid, his characters are a bit 2 dimensional and the action and adventure a bit over the top for my taste BUT his ability to raise important questions of all time and present the dilemmas in a balanced way to inspire continued thought afterwards makes more than up for it. <br /> <br />Highly recommended to anyone interested in the age long rivalry between science, faith and organised religion Rating: 5 / 5 I was spellbound from start to finish once again by Michael Cordy who is developping into one of my favorite authors.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in the age long rivalry between science, faith and organised religion
