7 Veils of Wisdom Peter Searle

A prophecy based on the final warning from Nostradamus: Year 2025: US captain, Stewart Falstaff, forced to scuttle his nuclear-fusion submarine off Novaya Zemlya, attempts to arrest his arsenal of rogue IBM's. He and two crew fight a desperate battle against thinking machine. French captain, Louis De Loock, has the same catch 22 dilemma, his nuclear aircraft carrier's IBM arsenal having a life (death-wish) of its own. Year, 2050: The Great Catastrophe of 2025, plus the near-miss of the Devil's Asteroid, seem culprit for the alarming Neanderthal births, the 'Emergence', a new/old breed of stoic humans. Mitzi, a catholic priest, partially narrates. Christmas 2071: Mars and Venus are colonized. It is 45 years since the submarine Pegasus, laden with nuclear missiles, was jettisoned into space - After completing its circumgalactic orbit, it's back! Efforts to crash it into the Sun have failed. In a bizarre rendezvous in outer space, six souls fight thinking machine and... God alone knows what.
