Transcending Trinity
by J. W. Sands
About the book
Peter Alba Longa can find a pattern in a dropped fork. Philosophy professor, insufferably rational, famous enough to fill a lecture hall at UCLA and lonely enough to count the streetlights on the walk home. He teaches four hundred students that every miracle has a mechanism, fights a daily private battle between his philosophy and the faith of millions, and lies awake wondering why the universe bothers to rhyme. The father who abandoned him left behind three things: a locked manuscript, a destiny of faith he never asked for, and a phrase that hides a number. Then his most brilliant student vanishes into a secret order that calls itself Trinity, and the number starts appearing everywhere. To bring her home, Peter must walk into a war between two ancient orders: one sworn to set a world-breaking truth free, the other sworn to keep humanity in the dark. She has days. He has a lifetime of doubt. What if the pattern is real?

About the author
Like the professor at the center of this novel, J. W. Sands has spent his life in lecture halls - teaching across a multitude of countries and continents, and traveling the world with the inconvenient habit of noticing its patterns. He lives in Portugal now, within driving distance of the real place where Transcending Trinity ends. Portugal's greatest writer, Fernando Pessoa, wrote under heteronyms: not pen names but whole personalities, each with a voice and a life of its own. J. W. Sands belongs to that tradition - taciturn, philosophical, fondest of questions that refuse to be settled. He shares that temperament with Peter Alba Longa, who can find a pattern in a dropped fork and counts the streetlights on the walk home. Question everything. Count everything.
