No author captures the uncertainty of the times like Dr. Tim Dosemagen. Prodigies swiftly takes the reader on an amazing, eye-opening journey through space and time, ultimately leading to a clear-minded description of the early 21^st Century human condition. Here, Dosemagen paints on a refreshing, broad canvas, with keen observations of the sources of power in our world - covering religion, wealth, technology and the deepest mystery of all, the human heart. Borrowed from the Old Latin word Prodigium, Prodigies indeed serves as an omen for the world - a warning of the possible, from a seemingly impossible viewpoint. Dosemagen's finely crafted narrative at once captures the zeitgeist of the Modern Age, shining light on the lasting legacies of our civilization (genes, ideas, money and actions), and describing four, frighteningly possible ends to the Age. Prodigies is a must read for young and old, worldwide. It has become an instant classic, chronicling our times for the ages. Prodigies is not only for science fiction fans, or for spy thriller aficionados, or for students of the metaphysical. Mostly, Dosemagen has written his amazing first novel aiming toward those souls who are concerned with the fate of mankind, and perhaps most importantly, for those who wonder what it may take for our lonely civilization to avoid Armageddon.
