About this listen

What if the man you just arrested for wandering the Mojave Desert wasn’t insane, but a time traveller from the center of the galaxy?

Highway patrol officer Alex Hays thinks it’s just another hot July afternoon in 2010. Then he picks up a strange man in futuristic “pajamas” claiming he’s from the year 2170. Hours later, the man vanishes without a trace during a violent desert storm, leaving Alex and a brilliant young nurse, Sally Moreno, with only questions.

From that moment on, Alex’s life takes an unexpected turn—one that will lead him from the highways of California to the cutting edge of space science at Stanford, and into a destiny far bigger than either he or Sally could imagine.

In the tradition of classic science fiction and prophetic literature, Of Black Holes and Prophets blends hard science, faith, and human drama.

Listeners will encounter:

  • Time travel and black holes at the edge of known physics.
  • A slow-burn romance between two unlikely heroes.
  • Prophecies, monsters, and alien civilizations with strangely familiar faces.
  • A cautionary tale about Earth’s future, and the sovereign God who may yet guide it.

Threaded with 1960s–1970s rock lyrics and vivid desert imagery, Jack Gerard’s debut takes listeners on a thrilling, deeply human journey where memory, dreams, and destiny collide.

If you love Michael Crichton’s realism, C.S. Lewis’s moral depth, and Arthur C. Clarke’s sense of cosmic wonder, you’ll be hooked by Of Black Holes and Prophets.
