Ramous Rignor is a Christian Police Chief in the small coastal town of Tillamook, Oregon. Someone murders two friends and fellow officers. It is thought that a trans-human woman by the name of Dania was responsible for their murders, but it turns out to be much bigger than just murder. He joins other modified humans to track down their killer, killers. -- St. Paul is a world wide corporation that created these modified humans and it needs to be brought down. This is the first in a series of at least one more novel called Ramous Rignor - September, which I am in the process of writing now and expect to finish within the next year.
You will never find in any book, a trans-human being so human...I think the message is that it does not matter who or what you think you are, you are important to God.
I can't figure out a favorite part, because I like the whole story from beginning to end. So, I guess I will disappoint with this question, although I will say there is a twist near the end that the reader might find interesting...
As they walked along the beach, Ramous asked, “Zoe, it’s my understanding the Gens have IQs well above two hundred. How does that work?”
“Gens are intelligent, but I’m not so sure one’s IQ is a proper way of measuring their intelligence. There are so many factors involved with our way of expression.”
“Well, when we talk, I assume we’re at the same level of understanding. We talk with no conversational distractions, and we communicate well.”
“You realize, Ram, ninety percent of communication takes place at an elementary grade level. Having an expanded intellectual capacity doesn’t mean we can’t converse and understand each other. If I were talking with a scientist about a particular subject, the conversation might go right over your head. In fact, I often have conversations with other Gens most scientists couldn’t comprehend.”
“That makes sense.”
“Ramous, there’s something much higher than one’s reason, and every human being is capable of obtaining it.”
“What’s that?”
“Spirituality. Spiritual understanding is much greater than intellect. Spirituality makes the highest levels of human, and even Gen, factual intelligence seem basic by comparison.”
“I find it amazing you perceive life in such a way. What led to your conclusion?”
“I read the Bible. It’s the most intelligent, spiritual book written and nothing else in this world can match it. We Gens were born in the lab and are test tube humans. Except for my skeleton, I’m not too different from you. We both have DNA directing our growth, even our propensity to have certain features and to be ill throughout our lives. Consequently, we’re similar. Ramous, those men who created us didn’t grow us. They only directed the growth process, and DNA did all the work. There’s no way humankind could recreate what DNA does. DNA came from an external source outside human understanding, and every Gen knows it.”
