Excerpt from The Hundredth Wave: A Novel

Within the kingdom of Human Reason, philosophers have always endeavored to gain true visions of the meaning of all things which human consciousness in the aggregate has garnered up and found to be the truth respecting the universe and man's place in the universe.

Let us go for a while into that kingdom so that we may perhaps glimpse good reasons for a book of the nature of the one which follows this preface.

First, can it be possible that a book, which places Truth as the Eternal Monarch of the realm of Human Reason, can be justified for portraying as apparent facts events which never will occur and which are projected in the narrative far into the future?

That two purposes blend in the construction of the book must be very clear; the one to arouse spiritually thousands of devout, honest, followers of a false religion to the real degradation of their religion, and the other as high a purpose as ever can move a human being.

Can there be any question that the manner of carrying out these purposes is merely a method of interestingly transmitting the messages of the book? It is so intended and rational judgments must so consider it.
