Paul's political energy in these last years took the form of an inquiry into why we really die.

What is it that makes the human clock begin to stop in our bodies?

He believed that if money and energy were devoted to the research into this question, in the same way the political and medical powers of today devote resources to their current institutions, the answer could be found, and in finding that answer, in truly learning how to expand the longevity of humans, humanity itself would be changed.

The eternal optimist, he believed that perhaps a greater sense of appreciation for life would result, and people could change their actions, and their priorities, accordingly. He chose to present his statement to the world on this subject in the form of a novel.

  
    In the Epilogue of his novel he writes:  
    "My decision to write a novel of inquiry rather than a non-fiction work on the same subject matter was based on one premise. The novel would more likely have much broader and more intense outreach into the general community than a non-fiction work. This outreach could expand enough to generate the kind of political momentum that would inspire and compel segments of the intellectual and scientific community to initiate a probing public dialogue on nature's killing mechanism.

Many within the intellectual and scientific community have substantial knowledge of nature's killing mechanism. However, their dialogue on nature's killing mechanism is on its process categorized as a genetic structure of a species rather than its essence and the implication of that essence.

The medical and scientific data stated in my novel is readily verifiable. The implications of that data are not readily included in any dialogue within either the intellectual or scientific community. In that regard, the reader of my novel does have a role.
 
   
In reading my novel, you may have become aware and contemplated the potential opportunity to participate in the political movement which could bring about a probing public dialogue in both the intellectual and scientific communities on nature's killing mechanism. Such a probing public dialogue could be a precursor to fundamental changes in the human condition with the resulting surfacing of a truer reality of humanness on Earth. That result would connect you to eternity."

The novel delves into this inquiry through the story of Mario, a Sicilian anarchist. In the novel, Mario engages in a dialogue on the universe, by challenging the legitimacy of the dark side of nature's process of terminating human life. He portrays it as a killing mechanism, and weaves a compelling argument by pointing to studies that have concluded that most human deaths are in essence, unnatural. Mario also shows other sides of his nature in his relationship with two lovers, Naomi, a spiritual feminist and Nora, the female ideological counterpart of Mario. In the story, Mario's father, Leonardo, was a celebrated puppeteer of Sicily, whose theatre became a center for education of children, and an evangelistic mission to liberate the economically oppressed. The backdrop of these characters includes the Mafia stronghold in the Sicilian ghetto of New York. Interwoven into the theme of the novel is a murder, collectively conspired by a FBI agent, a college professor, and a Mafia Don.

Although the novel had not been published his ideas and contribution, live on in this work.
