Dr. Jake Banner, physicist, receives a call from Dr. Azad, an Egyptologist in Cairo, Egypt informing him of a remarkable find An ancient Egyptian tablet containing a modern equation from quantum mechanics. Dr. Banner enlists the help of Dr. Linda Cooper, a molecular biologist, to unravel the deepening mystery. Follow Drs. Banner, Azad, and Cooper as they uncover a remarkable treasure trove of scientific discoveries covering future achievements in physics, genetics, and cosmology. Their worldview is shaken as they begin to question the true nature of reality and consciousness.

07/22/15Another fantastic science fiction book sent to me by a publisher. I had no idea what this book might be about so I decided to read it and find out! Am I ever glad I did!
This is probably one of the best written books I have ever read. I don’t mean that the story and everything is perfect, it’s just that the writing flows so easily that it is an extremely easy book to read, even though it has a ton of technical science jargon. The two main characters, well, three really, are an Egyptologist, a Physicist, and a Molecular Biologist. That’s two men and a woman who live in very different parts of the world. The Egyptologist, Dr. Syed Azad is an Egyptian Muslim who lives quite nicely in Cairo. His, at first professional acquaintance, Dr. Jake Banner, lives in California and specifically is on the faculty of Stanford University teaching mathematics and physics. The female of the group, Dr. Linda Cooper, also is a member of the Sanford University faculty and so lives somewhere in the close vicinity of Dr. Banner. She is a very close friend of Jake, but it is right now, just a professional friendship in which they discuss mutual scientific stuff on occasion. Linda doesn’t know Dr. Azad, Syed, yet, but she will soon get to know him pretty well.
Syed calls Jake one morning and tells him that he has in his possession an Egyptian tablet of incredible age with something very peculiar inscribed in it. He says he has validated the authenticity of the tablet and its age has been verified through several normal scientific methods used by archeologist. The only problem with this tablet, he tells, Jake, is that it has a the Schrödinger equation inscribed in it! OK, for all you physicists out there, you’re going to say, “I know what that is.”, and you probably do, but I don’t think you’d expect to see an equation just a century old inscribed on a tablet that’s dates back to three thousand B.C.! And there could be even more tablets available that have other equations and information that just shouldn’t have existed in that time period.
So, these three scientist get together in Egypt at the home of Syed and seek to figure out what this all means. How could the ancient Egyptians know of or be aware of current mathematics involving quantum particles?
The book is part Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, and the movie, “Love Story”. There is a lot of intrigue and mysterious stuff that these three have to get involved in to secure more tablets and then figure out what they contain. Once they get started, there’s no stopping them. They discover some pretty significant information that appears to come from the future; but who’s future? There’s even a glimpse of a possible cataclismic event that may happen in our very near future, but will it happen now that they know about it?
Although the science if pretty heavy at times, if you’re like me, you’ll just let it pass on by overhead. I’m not a scientist, but I can understand some of this stuff. In the end, this book turns out to be very different that what you expect. Remember, I said it was part “Love Story”. A very sneaky author, indeed!

Inevitable The Future has Already Happened edition by Steven Cotton Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Don't expect any plot twists or shifts in pace. This book while it delivers in terms of storyline and has a refreshing take on things can't seem to get out of first gear and plods from cover to cover with at times too much detail about things not relevant to the story. It needs some serious editing I feel.
Anyone who has been exposed to the world of theoretical physics and has paid any attention to it knows that weirdness seems to reign. Steve Cotton has employed this to weave a terrific science fiction story based on some of those theoretical ideas and lead the reader into a world of seeming impossibility. But this world is the here and now--but is the world everything that it appears to us to be?
The concepts and ideas from which the storyline is developed are sometimes a bit tricky to wrap your head around, and some prior exposure to them may be helpful, but I think that the author presents them clearly enough that readers will have little or no difficulty actually following the story.
For SF fans who prefer stories that lean away from ones that are based on hard science, and maybe even approach fantasy, this story may disappoint. (Although theoretical physics does sometimes seem more like fantasy.) And this book's main characters--a physicist, a biologist and an Egyptologist--attack problems intellectually, so readers who are looking for 'action' may also not find it as interesting. But that does not mean that the story is boring. I found it gripping and hated to put it down because I so wanted to know what was going to happen next.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys science fiction and is willing to explore concepts that challenge our usual ideas of how the world works. And the story's concepts, while real ideas from contemporary scientists, are called theoretical for a reason--they haven't been or can't be proven. So you can feel free to disagree as much as you want, and there are lots of people who do. And maybe make your own story.
