Stephen Hawking, the theoretical physicist and one of the brightest people on the planet, in apparent frustration, asked Yahoo Answers* in 2006: "In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?" Turn of the Century: 2100 is a novel of thesuspense;science"faction¨; and contemporary issues genre that takes us around the planet, and across the centuries, drawing us into our tumultuous times; and to what we're all looking for: Answers.
You'll be captured by the story, absorbed into the action and suspense, and compelled by the issues. Yes, be disturbed by the realities and convinced by the facts as the CIA, Interpol, and Science join together to battle international criminals and terrorists who are trying to prevent five (5) oracles from the future reaching the floor of the United Nations General Assembly. The science of quantum physics and the power of positive action make us face what must be done to prevent certain global disaster: seize the power of WE (to the power of infinity).

Press play to listen to audio excerpt...
In a brief instant, the corner of the room began to look out of focus. Alyson shook her head as if she was feeling dizzy. Then a wavelike image ...appeared in a pulsating hologram. It brightened. "Steven, what's going on?" He looked up towards this humming sound, dropped his mouth, and gasped. Andrea turned toward the entity, "What the bleep?" "Ok who's the wise guy" Colin knew that techies played games all the time. The light dimmed in this mass-less elliptical image, except for a hot point, like an eye. It seemed to shift back and forth in the wave pattern, as it focused on the people in the room, one at a time. It moved deliberately, with intelligence, almost breathing, as it surveyed its hosts. Ivan, the scientist, was drawn to its dance of colors. The hologram was clearly a structured intelligent probe...very visual. Your ability to see its inner light waves and labyrinth of activity made him a little too comfortable. Andria, with her hair bristling in some kind of electroshock state: "Careful Ivan, you don't know what you're dealing with." He put out his hand as if he were going to touch its outer image. ZZZZZarch! He was shocked backward as soon as he penetrated the hologram. From the floor, where he landed, "I see it is smart enough to have a defense system. It definitely doesn't want to be touched. Ivan looked right at the probeŕ ˘Well sorry, I didn't realize you were so sensitive." Although potent, it gave him just enough of a jolt to put him in his place, albeit on the floor. But it didn't really seem threatening. It just made its point. "Seriously" this isn't a joke, demanded Alyson. Did one of the labs create this phenomenon? KEEP AWAY FROM IT" Then out of this electromagnetic cloud, an ARC of electricity connected to a nearby socket, and the cylinder's light and colors intensified. It was like the entity plugged itself in and was recharging. In a clear voice, and clearly a human voice with a French accent, "Hello, Please don't be concerned. We will not harm you. Please record this photon probe and you will be able to retrieve a message from the image. We are here from a science lab in the eartly twenty second century due to matters of great importance to you. We are not a threat. Your time and space is where the threat is. It's your century and it's your turn!"
About Charlie Pedersen
Author Charlie Pedersen emerged from the executive ranks of information technology, finance and the aerospace private sector to write genre-blend novels that tackle contemporary issues, placing them in a world of international suspense and conflict. With a broad background that includes working with the Apollo Lunar module systems and the creation of what is now America's largest domestic Automated Teller Network, the Star System, he was able to achieve a clear understanding of the human and organizational dynamics necessary to effect significant large-scale change. Turn of the Century brings the conflict to a head
and takes us to what we must do to change from converging social, political, ecolological, and economic chaos to where WE must go to effect change.
