Some Matters of Gravity
(fourth in a series of four novels)
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Ray and Lesa Bonn’s ultimate demise and the beginnings of Roger Bonn’s family is remembered by their dearest of friends Julie Davidson. Roger has retired early from major league baseball, a career his son Tommy has just begun. Having never let go of his love of the physical sciences; Roger involves two extraordinary women in pursuing his intuition with regard to a new look into the nature of gravity, merging gravitational mass with electric charge to explain the behavior of subatomic particles. Romance and tragedy alter Roger’s life much as it had Ray’s. His first wife became disaffected and was planning to leave him when she became a victim of a mass shooting. Roger is left almost catatonic with remorse and regret. It will be a long period of depression before a new love rescues him from seclusion. Life begins again and with it, the physics he enjoys so thoroughly, but tragedy will strike again taking his son and sister, leaving him and a new wife the parents of a newborn of their own and one whose parents have been killed. Once again Roger withdraws mentally. Eventually psychological help rescues him and his life gets back to a new normal that includes the physics he loves.
Throughout this sequence of Bonn novels, the love of science and the enthusiasm to make new discoveries in a particular field of physics is a uniting thread. Each volume in this series is accompanied by a physics text attributed to the protagonists that is a backstory for each novel. In this case it is a neoclassical formulation of electrostatics and gravitation with a supplemental proposal of Up and Down quark structure of subatomic particles.
