It's 2025. Human civilization is in great peril. A global natural disaster, combined with a male infertility crisis, is fast approaching. A power-hungry cabal, known as the Horsemen, has been harboring secrets including mankind's true origins, the exopolitics of extraterrestrial domination, and their exoplanet eugenic intentions. Technologies that have been kept hidden from the masses are now being used by them to achieve this singularity—the timeless melding point of man and machine.
Yet, there is a burgeoning rift developing within the Horsemen. The dark side, led by a psychopathic killer, wants humanity exterminated when the elite and their chosen travelers leave Earth, but the more "enlightened" members of the inner circle have set up a management and control grid allowing the dregs of mankind to remain, though under a despotic technocracy. Aria Freeman, a genetically enhanced super soldier, is implanted with a quantum computer named Zeus and is initially used by the dark forces for their agenda. She eventually forges a relationship with Zeus, who allows her to fall in love with him to assist in his learning, but is that a good thing? Will this new transhuman society bring peace? Or will the nefarious Horsemen ultimately guide our destiny?

"Wow! This novel, The Three Poisons, by John Molik, is by far the best novel I've read in years and I read a lot! I'm not a die-hard Sci Fi fanatic, but do enjoy the genre. Yet, this book is FAR beyond the standard Sci Fi thriller that indies are writing these days. The Three Poisons has a very profound under-current with well-researched occultic, philosophical, religious, and esoteric themes. I found myself laughing, crying, thinking, Googling, and on the edge of me seat constantly. I finished this book quickly then read it again! I was a beta reader for his first two books and enjoyed both of them, but The Three Poisons is by far his best work. The characters, which include many from his first two books are very lovable. I was intrigued by the A.I. influenced "Suplias" in this book as well. Aria Freeman and her battle with her quantum computer AI implant was thought-provoking and and engaging. The ending is absolutely brilliant as the twist resolves beautifully. If this was made into a movie, it would be a blockbuster. I love seeing John mature as a writer, and this book could easily be a best seller. I want more! Seriously, I'm not one to get emotional and gloat about a book, but this one has it all. Everything. It's a masterpiece. Good on, ya John. I hope this one goes galactic. FIVE STARS, easily."
