Irish school-girl Catriona O’Brien has persuaded her adoringstep-father Sam to bring her to Genevafor the Easter holiday, on the pretext of visiting her mother Brigit who is theIrish Ambassador to the United Nations. But actually Catriona wants to visitCERN and solve the mystery of how and why her scientist-father was killed inhis Dublinlaboratory six years ago, a murder to which she was the only witness.

In CERN they are taken into an underground cavern so Brigitcan talk to the brilliant but secretive Chinese-Irish scientist Dr MichaelZhang. He has persuaded workaholic shift-leader Danny Schneider to go down toinvestigate what Michael claims is a fault with the ATLAS detector.

But is it really a fault, or does Michael know that a CosmicMonopole has been trapped by the powerful magnetic fields inside ATLAS? Doesn’the realize the Monopole might absorb energy and be transformed into somethingthat could threaten the whole world?

The Cosmic Monopole is the first volume in Time Crystal, aseries which will follow Catriona as she travels back in time to the Big Bangin a desperate attempt to save the Universe.

Wyken Seagrave is passionate about using the history ofthe Universe to help people understand where we came from and learn a littleabout basic science. Time Crystalis perhaps the first ever attempt to tell the history of the universe as a workof fiction.

“Seeing ourselves in a universal context is a salutaryexperience,” Wyken says, “giving us a new perspective on our current problems,many of which are on a global scale. To solve them will require globalsolutions. We all need to make important decisions about our ways of life. Weneed to understand what caused our problems and what options we have forsolving them. We can only obtain this by taking a global view of our situation.”

Wyken has been studying and writing about this subject for40 years. He is the author of www.historyoftheuniverse.comand the newly released and acclaimed eBook “History of the Universe”.
