    About this ebook

    A meeting with Miles Priest leads to the slow but inevitable unravelling of George Atherfield on a professional, ethical and spiritual level. The security of Atherfield’s professional wisdom seems to offer no solace for his increasingly hypersensitive conscience, as he presses on with blind resolve in his pursuit of the sacred formula.

    Due to circumstances over which Atherfield has no control, he is forced to rediscover his formula ... the final formula, which now seems to have magnetic force driving him on beyond his own control. Atherfield enters a sphere of activity that inextricably weaves together the two pervasive intellectual elements of his mind: science and morality. The formula apparently undergoes a radical transformation in meaning as Atherfield’s mind seems guided subconsciously towards its goal.

    What is the formula that has come to possess Atherfield’s thoughts, and plague his conscience with guilt? Who else seeks it, and for what purpose: good or ill? To whom should Atherfield show allegiance now?

    Author

    Nigel Hems

    I am an author and lecturer at MMU. My works of fiction include 'Events', 'The Letter', and 'The Figures.' I am also co-editor of 'The Continuum Companion to Kant'. 'Atherfield's Final Formula' is now available. as well as two short stories, 'The Room' and 'The Resident' (which will be published together). I will also be publishing a new short story, 'The Visitor', here at Smashwords in 2013. I am at present working on a short novel length work of fiction called 'The Place', which will be available later in the year. The story revolves around the main character, Klein, who pases through a perplexing sequence of events, whilst coming into contact with various friends and foes, often without being able to distinguish between these categories. At one particular stage, Klein comes into contact with a quasi-monastic order of enigmatic hedge-cutters, who are working in a maze, and following the dictates of a manual of half-articulated rules (as well as a semblance of intuition); Klein has to decide whether to join the hedge-cutters, or risk venturing further into the daunting regions of the maze.
