Indigo Mad is the first in a series of sci-fi novels centered on the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. Author Mark Spargo has taken his body of knowledge and written fascinating, character-rich stories about harnessing and manipulating dark energy and dark matter as humankind extends its reach into the cosmos in the year 2250. Vast as the universe is, the physical universe is only a tiny fraction of the whole. At least 70% of the universe is dark energy, with dark matter making up another 25%. The rest-everything on earth and everything ever observed-adds up to less than 5% of the entire universe. Indigo Mad introduces Delikat, a rapidly-evolving alien cyborg who accelerates her growth at a faster rate than others around her, including her human brethren, Indigo and Jake. Delikat is a a smart and attractive female protagonist that will appeal to female science fiction readers. This is a twist in SciFi that is fresh, thought-provoking and long overdue.

Spargo's continual interaction with leading thinkers and researchers in computer science theory and supercomputer application, working towards solving many of the most challenging issues facing mankind and our planet, provides a fertile and imaginative foundation for his science fiction series in dark energy.
