About this listen

“Be careful. If Felix finds you reading this, I can only imagine what might happen to you.”

As a mysterious plague threatens to end civilization, disgraced tech mogul Felix Craft claims he’s conquered death itself. He’s invited journalist Rohan Patel to tell the story of the century: the creation of Meru. A digital paradise to serve as humanity’s final hope.

Rohan arrives at Felix’s estate, expecting either groundbreaking science or spectacular failure. What he discovers is far more terrifying.

Now, he’s smuggling out a secret, wrapped in the story of that fateful day. Paradise is not what it seems. Felix is not a savior.

But Rohan knows how to stop him.

The Birth of Paradise is a standalone technothriller novella in The Meru Initiative series.
