Purgatory Theory, a novel by Colette Phair
Heaven and hell have never been scientifically possible. Until now...
God has been disproven by science. The last tree standing was cut down decades ago, and now the whole world exists under one roof. In the last place eternal happiness seems likely to appear, it does - in the form of an injection made to constantly rebuild pleasure receptors accustomed to wearing out once good times have past. No problem, except that this cure can just as easily provide eternal pain. Now the Church makes a comeback using this new technology to build heaven and hell on earth. While Adustum and Ministro struggle to destroy it, Caetera falls deeper into drugged childhood nostalgia, lived out in the world's only remaining park. But she may be the only one who can do anything about the afterlife.Chapters:
