Thriller
Debut novelist Mark Alpert brings one of the most explosive
books of 2008, seamlessly weaving current issues of science,
history, and politics with white-knuckle chases. David
Swift, a professor at Columbia University, is called to the
hospital to comfort his mentor, a physicist who's been
brutally tortured. Before dying, the old man wheezes
"Einheitliche Feldtheorie." The Theory of Everything. The
Destroyer of Worlds. Could this be Einstein's proposed
Unified Theory--a set of equations that combines the physics
of galaxies with the laws of atoms? Einstein died without
discovering it. Or did he? Within hours of hearing his
mentor's last words, David is running for his life. The FBI
and a ruthless mercenary are vying to get their hands on the
long-hidden theory. Teaming up with his old girlfriend, a
brilliant Princeton scientist, David frantically works out
Einstein's final theory to reveal the staggering scope of
its consequences. With publishers around the world
snapping up rights in sixteen languages, the book has
already become a global phenomenon, and the dynamic
characters and gripping plot will keep readers compulsively
turning the pages until the very end.
