P. J. Fischer returns with the electrifying new novel, Green Eyes in the Amazon, his latest fantasy and science fiction adventure that questions the limits of scientific discovery and rekindles the age-old battle between technology and theology.

WILL SCIENCE OR FAITH SAVE MANKIND?

P. J. Fischer introduced inventive biology grad student Steven Sumpter in Julia and the Dream Maker, his debut speculative fiction novel, in which Sumpter discovers the mathematical basis for the processes of life. Now Fischer is back with Green Eyes in the Amazon, and Dr. Sumpter is poised to forever alter the fate of humanity.

Fischer’s vivid story depicts a culture powered by religion and dominated by a fear of science. In this world, Sumpter’s groundbreaking work with biology and computer science crosses a dangerous line. While his ideas represent a new map for mankind, they are also a heretical violation of society’s Mutant Laws and a challenge to the world order. Powerful people believe Sumpter’s work must be destroyed. In the end, there will be only one world: Sumpter’s or theirs.

At the heart of this scientific thriller is Julia, the literal fruit of Sumpter’s algorithms. As religious forces battle this latest evidence of evolution, the fate of the human race rests in the young hands of this new Eve.

Once again, P. J. Fischer has crafted a riveting novel that challenges our ideas of technology, scientific advancement, and religion.

“[A] thrilling page-turner . . . I can highly recommend this action-packed adventure to all readers who love science, unusual characters and, simply, a great story.”

“Heresy is still heresy, even when you're right. 'Green Eyes in the Amazon' is the story of biologist Steven Sumpter, a man who has made many great leaps in biology. But there are those who still hold faith as entirely too sacred, leaving Dr. Sumpter fearing for his life and the lives of his family, as they are forced to flee to most remote parts of the world. 'Green Eyes in the Amazon' is an intriguing suspense novel that explores the conflict of science and religion.”
—Midwest Book Review

“Green Eyes takes a dead-on look at how science and religion both have the potential for good and evil, sometimes simultaneously. Set in an all-too-real world in which religion holds mind (and body)-destroying power and science is looked at as a fearful menace, this is a novel of adventure and ideas that packs more than a bit of a punch.”
