What if... We are all the product of a defunded, canceled extraterrestrial bioengineering experiment? Every few hundred years, junk DNA unwinds, and a new messiah is born--a Da Vinci, Mozart, Tesla, Einstein, Mohammed, Hawking, Galileo, Jesus...

What if... We are all the product of a defunded, canceled extraterrestrial bioengineering experiment? Every few hundred years, junk DNA unwinds, and a new messiah is born--a Da Vinci, Mozart, Tesla, Einstein, Mohammed, Hawking, Galileo, Jesus... Each reincarnation of the New Messiah develops ancestral memories at puberty. A current-day messiah grows up in rural America, witnessing hatred, jealousy, racism, poverty, homophobia, greed, corruption, antisemitism, and lust for power in all its forms. This time around, the New Messiah doesn't like what he sees and is pissed! Testament is the story of young Jesse, orphaned at birth, who grows up as a foster care child in rural Missouri during the '60s and '70s. When the impoverished boy turns thirteen, strange dreams plague his sleeping hours. He experiences indentured servitude in the foster care system as child labor on a pig farm, racism, antisemitism, alcoholism, poverty, bigotry, organized religion, and all the sins that a small God-fearing Ozark community can provide. Realizing his dreams were memories of past lives, he begins to develop special abilities as he undergoes the self-transformation from caterpillar to butterfly--the combined wisdom and life experience of a thousand reincarnations--and the unwinding of so-called junk DNA, producing the next step in hominid evolution, Homo novus!
