About the Author: Philip Benguhe
Mr. Benguhe trained as an electro-optics engineer and received his engineering degree from Arizona State University. Early in his career as a member of the technical staff at the Hughes Aircraft Company, he assisted in the design of systems used on the International Space Station and various other programs involving laser and optical fiber technologies. It was there that he gained his appreciation for the intellectual prowess, engineering skills, hard work, and dedication required to design and successfully launch spacecraft. Following this, Mr. Benguhe spent over a decade working in key executive and management position for companies supporting the telecommunications industry.

After seeing the need to be a part of the solution toward a more sustainable future, Mr. Benguhe transitioned into the field of alternative energy. He currently oversees operations for a company supplying products into the solar energy marketplace.

Above the Clouds is the second work published by Mr. Benguhe. His first book, Five Questions-Answers to Life’s Greatest Mysteries, combines scientific, biological, logical, and cultural perspectives to arrive at consistent answers to life’s most profound questions.

Philip Benguhe currently resides in Irvine, California with his wife and daughter.
Above the Clouds is a work of science fiction that explores how the history of humanity would have changed if instead of clears skies above, the planet was covered in a thick blanket of clouds. Without views of the heavens to drive the development of science and society, humankind turned their attention inward. The worship of volcanoes and the god Vulcan dominated religion and prevented society from looking upward−encapsulated in the religion’s most famous maxim, “Everything you need is beneath your feet!”

With the election of a new progressive president, a group of scientists are now directed to build a probe to finally see what lies above. However, their efforts are frustrated by the work of religious radicals, betrayed loyalties, and changing political dynamics.

The main character, Jason, with the help of his friends and the team, must navigate these obstacles and risk his professional career to assure the probe is launched and its discoveries shared with the world.
