Supernova: A Thought-Provoking Science Fiction Thriller

"Most intriguing and different sci-fi book I've ever read." Reader ReviewHigh-stakes near-future science fiction doesn’t get more mind-bending than a planet-wide bodyswap, as an astrophysicist father races through London to find his familyOne star goes supernova. Millions wake up in the wrong bodies. Astrophysicist Geoff Arnold opens his eyes to a face he doesn’t recognize and a world that no longer makes sense. Overnight, a blast from Betelgeuse has scrambled humanity: minds in strangers, minds in animals, families scattered, the rules of identity and law rewritten on the fly. Geoff wants one thing: to find his wife and children, yet every street, hospital, and government office is another lesson in what it means to be a person when nothing familiar remains. Scientists race to explain the upheaval. Politicians improvise policies. Black-market clinics whisper about a “solution” that only copies who you are. As protests flare and heartbreaking choices multiply, Geoff must navigate a planet learning—sometimes tenderly, sometimes brutally—how to live with new bodies, new rights, and the oldest moral questions suddenly made urgent. If he fails, he could lose his family forever. If the world fails, compassion might be the first casualty. Supernova, book one of the Mindslip Universe, delivers humane, thought-provoking science fiction with page-turning momentum and unforgettable moments of empathy. Perfect for readers who love unique, original concepts that linger long after the last page. Publisher’s note: Supernova was previously published as Mindslip. _________________________________________Praise for Supernova:????? "Ground-breaking brilliance"?????
