The Casseur of the “Q” Gospel

Would the Gospels still have value… if the Apostles had copied every word from an apocryphal text — lost, disputed, and of unknown authorship?

Inspired by the theory of the Quelle Gospel (“Source” in German), or Q Source, first proposed in the 19th century by pastors Weisse and Wilke, this novel delves into the mystery of a vanished Greek manuscript believed to have inspired the Gospels of Luke, Matthew, and the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas. A discovery that ignites an intergalactic investigation to hunt down an unscrupulous casseur — the “breaker” of forbidden books.

Casseurs, sworn enemies of bibliophiles, are traffickers of knowledge: they destroy priceless works — a Gutenberg Bible, a lost Shakespearean sonnet — by dismantling their bindings and selling the pages separately to black-market collectors. What is a lucrative business for them becomes an irreparable loss for humanity, erasing clues that could illuminate its forgotten history.

This story is also a warning against modern intolerance. While the world watches in horror as extremist groups destroy humanity’s heritage in the Middle East, in the West certain religious factions preach book burnings in the name of “spiritual warfare” — condemning works by the Dalai Lama, Confucius, or even Buddhist and Yoga texts. In doing so, they follow the same path as Diego de Landa or Goebbels, repeating the very acts they claim to oppose.
In an overpopulated world where ignorance spreads faster than light, this novel calls for a defense of secular states and freedom of thought — before fanaticism consumes knowledge itself.

SYNOPSIS

A string of femicides with no identifiable pattern shakes multiple star systems across the galaxy.
Veteran detective Maximilian Sinclair is promoted to Chief Investigator of the Uranian satellite system — a post he accepts for deeply personal reasons. Years earlier, his childhood love abandoned him after secretly undergoing a quantum abortion, leaving him to wrestle with faith, guilt, and loss.

Now, determined to confront both his past and his fear of technology, Sinclair travels with the digital consciousness of his unborn child, preserved within a locket — defying the religious laws of his native moon, Ophelia, shepherd of Uranus’s epsilon ring.

As the case grows stranger, Max and his team dive into the shadowy world of interplanetary philology, where ancient texts and neural algorithms intertwine to reveal the motive behind the killings.
When conventional methods fail, he requests permission to activate CHASE — a forbidden biopunk neural perception unit, a singularity born from experiments merging machine and biology.
CHASE can extract memories from neurons regenerated in murder victims... but what they uncover will transcend crime itself.

Because behind this forbidden technology lies a truth powerful enough to free — or destroy — all of humanity.
And sometimes, truth only burns for those who dare to face it.
