A brilliant scientist and widower attempts to recreate his deceased wife and child, only to disappear into a fog of drug-addled depression at a remote coastal resort.
Survivors of a global disaster struggle to piece together answers and survive in a near-future wasteland of high technology and chaos.
These seemingly disconnected worlds are woven together with conflicting timelines, hazy memories, and one man's desire to hold onto what he loves at any cost.
A thrilling exploration of the dark fringes of a derailed-singularity world: nanotechnology, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence alter the rules of human existence. But human drives and motives remain unchanged at their best--and at their most terrifying.
What beta readers are saying:
"Caligatha is a unique blend of post-apocalyptic mystery and a darkly human tale of love and loss. Traces of William Gibson-esque nightmarish technology infringe on a romantic world."
"Caligatha blends science fiction, literary fiction, horror, mystery and thriller elements into a uniquely compelling tale featuring a strong female protagonist. Dense and multi-layered, but also an easy read, it will appeal to fans of all genres."
"One of the most pleasurably-disorienting books I've read. So many layers and reveals, and I'm still left wanting more."
"Neil Gaiman meets Margaret Atwood meets terrifying things...it's fun exploring their world."
"You reach the middle, and it punches you in the stomach. Then every page after that keeps punching you in the stomach. I couldn't stop reading until the end. I really hope there's a second book planned."

Poetic Sci-Fi....absolutely beautiful!!
By Dalai Momma
Ok so I finally got around to reading this book....Caligatha by Matt Spire. It was a great read and I must say I was actually blown away with how good it was. Taking me on unexpected turns and not just at the end of the book like most do. The sentences...lines upon lines in the book...such poetic beauty...this author certainly knows his words and uses them well. A haunting read, one that will follow you well after you finish it.
I don't even know where to begin...the story is so complex it is difficult to describe (but not difficult to read). It's exactly what a sci-fi book should be. I don't like to give spoilers on my reviews so I am gonna tread lightly on describing the story-line. We have Eric, Crane, and Mae...traveling nomads in this post apocalyptic civilization. A treasure trove of articles, a journal, letters, are found by them or rather they were out seeking these things, and from that we get the motherboard of stories!! Jericho...how it all began...why he is so important...his friendship with Reuben...Fern...Lydia....The Blue Coral. The scientist, Jericho...a highly intelligent man that created a cure all pill, Realm, MAIA, Caligatha, a means of survival..first out of necessity but soon spiraled into something selfishly justified by his own needs with no concern for the others. A time of nanotechnology, gene therapy, robotics, Jericho is a pioneer at the midst of it all...but to quote from the book, "When you make waves you produce peaks and troughs". From good, bad too seeped its way in and ran rampant. No one had time or the ability to fix it. On top of all that, Jericho came with his demons...demons in the form of drugs, an addiction he could not shake whether in reality or in his created world. Somewhat of a sick distorted love story for the woman he is fueled for...and their child...what happened to them at his hands...the longing to go back and make things right, failing miserably. Then we get hit with Keene and Emma and the reality that they are facing and how Lydia, Jericho and all the others tie in to that. Story within stories it's easy to be so deeply enveloped in this book. Just when you think you have it all figured out....you're getting another intricate layer to this world of sci-fi brilliance. But this is not just Sci-fi...it's Poetic Sci-fi. Wording alone makes this book so amazing...bonus that it's a great creative story.
Thanks for my win of this book in exchange for an honest review and thanks to Matt Spire for creating such a wonderful story. You have done the Sci-fi genre loving world good with this one.

Heady, intricately plotted with mind-blowing scope and ideas. Loved it.
By Jeffrey O. Curtis
This is a great book. Some science fiction books are great because of their originality, their creations of places and beings and events of wonder. Others are great because they expose us to grand ideas and make us think about universal truths or universal questions, even universal deceptions. Others are great because they are so-well written and intricately plotted that they are simply a delight and amazement to read and we are left trying to wrap our minds around the question: how could anyone even write this?
This book touches on all of the above. The plot is exceptionally deep and I need to read it again with pen and paper and take notes as I go. I got lost, but that is a compliment and not a criticism. There are still some questions I would ask the author if I had a chance. I don't yet have it unraveled but that makes it a fun puzzle to tease the mind. I like books that make me work and think. If you don't, you may not agree with my assessment of this book. It's an intellectual workout. The prose is great although the print version I had has not been meticulously edited and there are some grammatical mistakes and spelling mistakes that I did not allow to distract me. I was sufficiently distracted as it was.
The ideas really sell this book for me. The first fun idea, a favorite of mine, is human awkwardness and relationships. This author crafted the perplexity and confusion of trying to relate to someone you are attracted to as well as I've read it anywhere. Another central theme is personal identity. Who am I really? Who is the real me? What gives me purpose and meaning? What makes me human? What do my thoughts, feelings, experiences, and how I react to them tell me about myself? How can I know what parts of me are genuine and others mere role-playing for the benefit of others or for some false ideal. Purpose and identity are complicated topics to deal with and this author does so with a dexterous subtlety.
I was reminded of two things I read in the past while reading this book. One was an idea, I think it was by Peter van Inwagen, who asked, "How do we know we really are who we think we are and are not just some brain soaking in a vat with electrodes connected to it being stimulated by a complex computer program to give us what we think are real experiences?" The other idea came from Kant's Critique of Pure Reason which I think can be partly summed up in the assumption, "We can't know that the world is real, but at least we can know our perceptions are real" To which I always react, how can we know our perceptions are real?
If you want a challenging read with a mind-blowing plot and some deep imponderables, take the plunge.

A solid work of Sci-Fi and Sci-Phi
By Benjamin Gohs
NOTE: I was given a free copy of the electronic version of this book in return for an honest review of it.
As a Science Fiction/fantasy/future dystopia book and movie junkie, I've read and watched my fair share of everything from the greats to the not-so-greats (Star Wars Aftermath, anyone?)
I believe I can confidently categorize Matt Spire's “Caligatha” as Science Philosopy.
This brooding work got my attention right away with the creepy and cryptic discovery of a journal in a dark new world seemingly devoid of hope.
Spire is a competent dialogue man, which is a welcome departure from some of the cardboard and unrealistic prose I've come across as of late.
And, he knows how to paint a picture with lines like, “Jericho doesn't dream the way he used to, where every fear of inadequacy is stark nakedness or decaying teeth.”
This line is so good it should've been on the book jacket: “Everyone wants to live in tomorrow and vacation in yesterday.”
Spire's Caligatha sets out on a fairly ambitious course, daring to dance between time-lines.
The work can, at times, be disorienting … but, in a purposeful way.
And, when the secrets are revealed, they are doozies.
Spire did a good job of keeping me guessing throughout. (Nothing I hate more than figuring out the secret 100 pages before the author intended you to.)
Oftentimes, writers are admonished to avoid head-hopping from POV to POV but the story progressed nicely from the viewpoints of characters like Jericho, Eric and Lydia.
Hints of the overall story reminded me somewhat of the movie “Gattaca,” which focused on a normal human's plight to exist in a future society of genetically perfect humans.
Though, Caligatha seems to answer the question of what happens when you try for perfection and then cannot deal with failing to do so.
The book does a nice job of imparting an ethereal sense of impending doom—when it isn't subjecting you to the real thing.
The powerful horror aspects were executed quite nicely. (No pun intended.)
The characters are solid, interesting and—best of all—human.
I'm a big fan of internal conflict and internal monologues. And, Caligatha delivers with some astute and realistic views into the minds of its characters.
Caligatha isn't perfect but no book, not even the most highly-read works, are.
I'm a firm believer that parts of a book I do not enjoy may simply not have been for me or did not connect with me because of my life experiences. So, I'll keep my criticisms to myself.
All in all, Matt Spire's “Caligatha” is a solid piece of speculative fiction—a thinking man's Sci-Fi in a world of clichéd pulp.
