The Novel: What The Golden Relics Promises

In The Golden Relic, readers follow tech mogul Xander J. Recker on a high-stakes quest that stretches across continents, from the ruins of Persepolis to the Caribbean shores of Puerto Rico.

It’s a thriller with roots in both today’s scientific breakthroughs and the legends of civilizations long past.

The novel is full of fascinating scientific references, from telomeres and cellular aging to the speculative future of artificial superintelligence. JD’s “Fact vs. Fiction” section is especially engaging, breaking down which aspects of the story are rooted in reality, which are pure conjecture, and which might just be around the corner.
