Blue Light by Walter Mosley
From an unknown point in the universe, a blue light approaches our solar system. When it reaches Earth, it transforms those it strikes, causing them instantaneously to evolve beyond their present state of humanity. Blue Light is the story of these people and their transformation. Narrated by Chance, a bi-racial man whose entire life has been a struggle for self-definition, the novel traces the desparate conflict of the ?Blues? with one of their own, a man who, struck by the light at the moment of his death, has become the living embodiment of death. Blue Light refracts questions of identity, race and humanity - hallmarks of Walter Mosley?s writing - through a startlingly new fictional perspective.
A mad jaunt into the fantastic - urban transcendentalism with a soundtrack by George Clinton' Jonathan Lethem ?A visionary meditation on spirituality, evil, race and the ultimate fate of mankind? New York Times ?Undeniable powerEverything - violence, consummate evil, angelic compassion, sex - is magnified with operatic intensity... Tight, tough and focused? Locus
