The Metrics of Heaven

In a universe governed by cold equations and divine algorithms, The Metrics of Heaven explores what happens when the soul itself is quantified—and when those metrics are weaponized. Souls are ranked, judged, and recycled through a cosmic network that masquerades as divine justice but functions as a spiritual surveillance state. Lelantos, a fractured traveler haunted by timelines he cannot remember, is rescued by Psyche, a rebel soul who remembers too much. Together, they join Mnemosyne, the time archivist, and Phema, a synthetic soul with the power to feel, in a desperate journey to expose the truth behind the karmic control system known as the Glyph Network. As they navigate glitching timelines, spirit-infected cathedrals, and reality loops designed to erase resistance, the four awaken hidden aspects of themselves—archetypes beyond classification, sparks of divinity long suppressed. But their path is haunted by Sanctum, the enforcer of purity, whose luminous staff can rewrite identities with a single strike. This genre-defying novel blends metaphysics and sci-fi, mythology and rebellion, to challenge our understanding of destiny, memory, and selfhood. With unforgettable characters, surreal action sequences, and moments of haunting beauty, The Metrics of Heaven is a story of cosmic resistance, the sacred power of remembrance, and the dream of a universe unshackled. Woody R. Clermont's visionary debut invites readers to reimagine the machinery of reincarnation and to embrace mystery—not as something to solve, but something to live through.
