Jake Nourth witnesses one friend's death and another's descent into catatonia during a panic-driven riot. The madness running among Meld's citizens is recent, random and expanding. Casualties mount and the plague strikes near to Jake's heart. He enlists soulchemist Cleo Purdy, reclusive cosmologist Law Fomalhaut and the native cjbles to determine what or who is the cause. Can this alliance stop it in time and retrieve the minds of the victims?
Praise for Jake Nourth book 1: "A mystery set in a brilliantly constructed world, The Sixth Helix explores the human dilemma of staying or going, loving or losing and finding one's place. And I love the aliens." - Barbara Galler-Smith, Author of The Druids Saga
