Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Beyond the skyline of Toledo stands the Toledo Institute of Astronomy, the nation's premier center of astronomical discovery and a beacon of scientific learning for astronomers far and wide. One of these is George Dermont, a dreamer and a man of deep faith, who's trying to prove the scientific existence of a Gateway to God, and speaks to ancient gods and believes they speak back. Its newest star is Irene Sparks, a pragmatist and mathematician invited to lead the Institute's work on a massive superconductor being constructed below Toledo. This would be a scientist's dream come true, but it's particularly poignant for Irene who has been in self-imposed exile from Toledo and her estranged alcoholic mother, Bernice. When Bernice dies unexpectedly, Irene resolves to return to Toledo, and sets in motion a series of events which place George and Irene on a collision course with love, destiny and fate. George and Irene were born to be together. Literally. Their mothers, friends since childhood, hatched a plan to get pregnant together, raise the children together and then separate them so as to become each other's soul mates as adults. Can true love exist if engineered from birth.…

Uno de ellos es George Dermont, que intenta probar la existencia científica de una Puerta a Dios. Su nueva estrella es Irene Sparks, una pragmática y matemática invitada a dirigir el trabajo del Instituto en un superconductor masivo que se está construyendo debajo de Toledo. Este sería el sueño de una científica hecho realidad, pero es particularmente conmovedor para Irene, que ha estado autoexiliada de Toledo y de su madre alcohólica, Bernice. Cuando Bernice muere inesperadamente, Irene decide regresar a Toledo, y pone en marcha una serie de eventos que colocan a George e Irene en un curso de colisión con el amor, el destino y el sino.
