When he was 18, Theo Downes walked out of an MIT mathematics lab, leaving behind his hat, mitts and a thumb drive containing what became known as the Downes Theorems. His childhood mentor, a Jesuit with a law degree and an MBA, eventually found him, half frozen, on the doorstep of the Boston archdiocese.
The tabloids had a field day PRODIGY PROVES GOD EXISTS, BECOMES PRIEST.
But Theo knew he hadn't really proven anything. As Scientific American later pointed out, the baseline numbers needed to verify or disprove his theorems could only be found by analyzing a database that could never be built a database of brain scans of healthy test subjects as they were put to death.
Theo wanted nothing to do with such dark knowledge. He assumed the Vatican shared his reservations.
A decade later he is a professor of mathematical neuroscience at Notre Dame when his mentor informs him that Rome is about to start compiling the database his theorems require, using condemned prisoners for test subjects.
Haunted by the knowledge that anything that can be measured can eventually be controlled, even a soul, Theo reluctantly agrees to participate in the project. He will disprove his theorems if he can or sabotage the results if he can’t.
Is Theo up against a cabal of religious fanatics? Or will he prevent mankind from learning the answer to the most important question it can ask? And outside events – the war in the Middle East, the ferocious solar flares on the sun and monumental storms on the earth – are they related to the progress of the project? And what of the horrifying compulsion growing in Theo’s mind? Will he actually kidnap a child?
Is Theo humanity’s last hope or its destroyer?
The AntiSoul edition by Lyle Burwell Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
What would happen if the anti-Christ refused to cooperate? Three mornings in a row I sat down to read one chapter of the Anti-soul while I ate my cereal and had to force myself to stop reading when I was nearly an hour late for getting to my own work. So when Sunday arrived, I curled up with the book and didn't get up until I'd finished it. That was three days ago and I'm still thinking about 2012: The Anti-soul. I can't say that about the last half a dozen or so books I've read. Perhaps only Cormac Mc Carthy's The Road has touched and frightened me in the ways Burwell's first novel does.There were times in the center of the narrative that I wanted to stop reading and couldn't; passages so horrific and captivating that I felt as if I too had been infected with an antisoul and was being forced against my will to participate with it. Like Theo, I eventually found the strength to refuse to cooperate. But that makes me a poor reader of horror, not the writer a poor crafter of it. As a writer who works very hard to get my prose to enact the narrative, I bow my head to Burwell's ability to do it. And once I'd skipped a few pages and opened my eyes again, I was pleased to be on the outside looking in, filled with the strange adolescent thrill of being snowbound in the Midwest while a blizzard rages and death taps against the picture window as life turns monochrome.
With Greg Brown's ability to make physics a character, Stephen King's ability to plot, Dan Brown's fascination with Catholic mysticism and a Jesuit's ability to render that mysticism rational, Burwell's book is one for philosophers both religious and atheist. But do not expect to be able to put it down untouched by the infection.

The AntiSoul edition by Lyle Burwell Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I really liked the story. In spite of the fact that it bogged down a little slightly more than half way through, it picked up before the end. Honestly, I am not sure what genre it is. Sci-Fi? Horror? Apocalyptic? You decide.
I read rather than watch Tv and this book made me glad I made that choice! I could not put it down until I finished it. The book was free but I would have been happy to pay full price! Recommend highly.
The storyline is well thought out. It moved me along, confronting me with dark, disturbing images, daring me to peer into to the abyss. The writing is evocative and intelligent. Although the subject matter is stark and unapologetic, the rich and beautiful language made me want to know more. I read the whole book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. I recommend it without hesitation.

It's been several months since I finished reading Lyle's book. I intended to write a brief review soon after but decided instead to wait awhile. Full disclosure, Lyle and I have been friends since 1969. I didn't want my comments to be influenced by our friendship. Now that some time has passed I think I can. I still frequently -- usually when I'm driving on the freeway -- find myself replaying scenes from the book, thinking about the characters as if they were real. And as you can imagine, if you've read the book, feeling not a little uneasy about it all. In fact I invariably have to turn on the car radio to distract myself from where my anti-soul thoughts are headed. Now I've read a lot of books in my life but I can count on one hand the few that have lingered in my imagination like 2012 the Anti-soul. My hats off to Lyle, our friendship not withstanding, he's written one hell of a book.
Lyle Burwell has written a literate page turner peopled with complex and unnerving characters placed in spine-tingling provocative dangers. 2012 the Anti-Soul has Lucifer re-awakened and regrouping and the age old struggle between good and evil battling it out to the finish amid the mayhem of apocalyptic end-times disaster. From Jerusalem to Chicago with a cast of characters ranging from an acid-addled sixties hippie, a corpulent Arab baker obsessed with his nubile daughter and an intellectual priest camped out as a chaplain on death row, 2012 The Anti-Soul keeps the reader spellbound, racing along with Father Dion and Detective O'Donnell as the gruesome murders escalate and the tipping point comes ever closer. Will there be hope of redemption or will the shattered 666 anti-souls of the fallen Prince of Light find each other and re-unite altering the destiny of the planet forever?
