About the Book

Frequency is a fast-paced hard science fiction thriller that combines neuroscience, psychology, archaeology, space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The story moves between the mysterious jungles of Colombia and the distant icy world of Europa, creating two seemingly separate investigations that gradually begin to point toward a much larger mystery.

At the center of the terrestrial investigation is Dr. Alexandra Lennox, a brilliant neuropsychiatrist confronted with an extraordinary and frightening phenomenon. Healthy people are suddenly experiencing collective psychotic episodes, disturbing visions and catatonia, while inexplicable mass suicides begin to occur.

A Dangerous Investigation in Colombia

Dr. Alexandra Lennox travels into the jungles of Colombia to investigate the disturbing epidemic. As the number of victims increases, what first appears to be an unusual medical or psychological crisis becomes something far more difficult to explain.

Alexandra joins forces with Ethan Calloway, a rugged former archaeologist. Together they confront dangerous terrain, unanswered questions and a phenomenon that appears to be spreading rapidly. Their investigation forces them to consider whether the events have an ordinary explanation or whether something extraordinary is influencing the human mind.

The Europa Mystery

Hundreds of millions of miles away, a second mystery is unfolding. Lieutenant Jason Crowe and three other NASA astronauts embark on a clandestine mission toward Europa, one of Jupiter’s most intriguing moons.

Beneath Europa’s frozen surface, the astronauts discover something that challenges everything they expected to find: a perfectly geometric shaft buried in the ice.

Science, Mystery and First Contact

One of the most appealing elements of Frequency is the way it connects scientific disciplines. Neuroscience and human behavior intersect with archaeology, planetary science and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

The story explores the possibility that events occurring on Earth and an extraordinary discovery on Europa may not be independent. As the investigators uncover more evidence, the boundary between a medical mystery and a cosmic mystery begins to disappear.

Readers interested in science, technology, space exploration and speculative scientific ideas may find the novel particularly engaging. You can explore more science and technology topics through The Science Online.

Reader Ratings

A Story of Two Mysteries

The structure of Frequency creates tension by following two investigations at very different locations. Alexandra and Ethan investigate an increasingly dangerous phenomenon on Earth, while Jason Crowe and his fellow astronauts confront an impossible discovery beneath Europa’s ice.

The contrast between the human brain and an alien world gives the novel a broad scientific scope. One mystery concerns the hidden workings of consciousness; the other concerns the possibility of intelligence beyond Earth.

As these threads develop, the novel asks readers to consider what might happen if humanity encountered evidence that fundamentally changed its understanding of life, intelligence and the universe.
