I’ll tell you how I came into possession of The Omega Gene. How one day the book arrived at my door.
Who sent it or how it got here, I have no idea. There was no delivery service. No packaging. Pages simply shoved into a thick cardboard binder, closed shut with rubber bands. Scrawled across the surface in faded handwriting were the words ‘The Omega Gene’.
I stared at it for the better part of the morning before I decided to open it and find out more – who had written it, what it was about, why I had been the one chosen to receive it. The first page was a kind of letter directed at me, although definitely not addressed to me.
‘The goddess!’ was written in a frantic hand on the first page. Yes, that’s right, the goddess.
Dear friend, it fills me with great joy that this book finally reaches you. How long I have searched for you and my journey is now over. I can pass these words, these very important words, onto the rightful person. The goddess, she has played an intimate role in my life in the last years, pushing me, challenging me, fighting me, forcing me. My prize has been to piece together this work, this unbelievable work, which you will soon read and discover for yourself. It will set alight a fire in your mind, which you will not be able to calm, quell or extinguish. This is a fire that has never stopped burning in you, or in me for that matter, and soon you will understand why it can never go out. The goddess has led me across the Americas to India, to make sure I put these words together. It is as though I have not been in control of my mind and body. As though she writes through me and has walked in my shoes guiding me from one point to the next. She is a force of nature, and now it is your turn to take care of her. Read what she says well. And continue the journey. I wish you well. ~ Marc Vincent
Marc Vincent. I read the name over and over again as if to find somewhere in the echo a kind of meaning or memory, but I could find nothing. I didn’t know the name, had never met anyone with it, but now here it was, thrust onto my desk and into my life.
