The Millennialists, the second novel by Emma Spencer Chapman, promises a compelling romp into and through the possible. The story takes Lucy Warren and four friends on a journey into destiny. Certain that cynicism and negativity are degrading the human spirit and destroying human civility, Lucy captures and tames a metaphysical hypothesis long disparaged by western Judeo-Christian cultures as the stuff of crackpots or saints. Akin to the dark matter eluding contemporary physicists, Lucy calls it personal fusion. This power of conscious thought, harnessed and focused, becomes the weapon-of-choice in her crusade to realign the global market place with universal good. Risking ridicule, exploitation, incarceration, even assassination, Lucy targets the telecommunications juggernaut and its financial substructure the New York Stock Exchange. Moving briskly through several summertime weeks, the story transports Lucy and her Millennialists from the storms off North Carolina's Outer Banks to the even greater instability of megalithic New York City. Paralyzing the stock market and achieving a benchmark victory yields a heady omnipotence. But the bond of kinship and shared destiny that lured them into this quixotic quest is subverted by this early success. The reemergence of ego and fear displaces newfound faith and causes dissension within the group. Geoff Mayerbrook, CIO of the Global Broadcasting Company offers love on the physical plane, and causes Lucy to recognize that the evil she loathes, as well as the world healing she desires, spring from the very same source. Within this pivotal paradox, Lucy's enemy becomes her only ally. Credible situations, dusted with incredible possibilities, propel this spiritual adventure forward to its enigmatic conclusion. The reader is invited to investigate the real power of a single human thought; to suspend disbelief... and believe. The action, adventure, and romance of The Millennialists reminds us that the power to determine our destiny is ours: We have met the Savior, and He is Us.
