Rescue from the Tower of Babel

This is the second book in the series entitled The Failed Experiment. The first book, a novella entitled Four Legs Good, was published in 2024. Set in the present and just five years in the future, a complex experiment was undertaken that should not have been carried out. The body of this book gives us the details of this failed experiment and its immediate outcome. The story is set at a large Midwestern university. This book contains an epilogue that briefly describes the long-term implications of this failed experiment. While the author believes the science described is accurate, the outcome of what is referred to as 'the project' is purely speculative. The current book, the second book in the series, this novel published in 2025, is entitled Rescue from the Tower of Babel. This novel provides a detailed account of the epilogue of the first book. The scientific, sociological, and political outcome through the remainder of the 21st-century is detailed. This novel takes place primarily in Iowa City, New York City, and Boston. This story is entirely fictional as are the characters and events. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental and was unintended. No artificial intelligence was used in the writing of this book. Robert Linhardt is a prominent American scientist, author of more than 1,000 scientific papers, and holds more than 75 patents.

Four Legs Good (2024) was his first work of fiction. This short novel is an allegorical fable or perhaps even a parable. The epilogue of this novella is expanded into his second book, Rescue from the Tower of Babel (2025).
