Point Omega: A Novel

In this potent and beautiful novel, the writer The New York Times calls â€œprophetic about twenty-first-century Americaâ€ looks into the mind and heart of a scholar who was recruited to help the miliÂtary conceptualize the war.
We see Richard Elster at the end of his service. He has retreated to the desert, in search of space and geologic time. There he is joined by a filmmaker and by Elsterâ€™s daughter Jessicaâ€”an â€œotherworldlyâ€ woman from New York. The three of them build an odd, tender intimacy, something like a family. Then a devastating event turns detachment into colossal grief, and it is a human mysÂtery that haunts the landscape of desert and mind.
