The Calling

“The plot is wonderful. It weaves two completely different times and storylines throughout the book. The way Rod Ensor brought the storylines together at the end was brilliant."

Janet Elaine Smith

Best-selling author

The 17th-Century painting, The Calling of Saint Matthew by Caravaggio inspired Rod Ensor’s story that merges history, fiction and symbolism through the eyes of a scientist, lured into a secret scheme to rescue a stranded Russian cosmonaut who threatens to destroy humanity.

 

The novel’s lines of reason transcend space and time, and blur the limits of fiction, reality, and science.  It is a moving thriller with a scientific and technological premise. 

Its historical elements balance the plot's fast pace. 

 

Like Caravaggio’s painting, The Calling’s narrative threads bridge two worlds and illustrates the mystery of connectedness.
