Thriller
“The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard
shall lie down with the kid. And a child shall lead them.” She smiled. “That’s you, Michael. That’s why Brother Cyrus
needs you. You’re going to help us fulfill the prophecy.” The Omega Theory opens with media reports that, despite U.S.
warnings, Iran has tested a nuclear bomb.
But the blast from the device is different and far more
dangerous than that of any previous nuclear weapon. Surveillance instruments show that for one split second an
event occurred that had not taken place since the Big Bang
fourteen billion years ago. Meanwhile, science historian
David Swift and quantum physicist Monique Reynolds learn
that their autistic son, Michael, has been kidnapped by a
militant cult called the True Believers. Michael, a
descendant of Albert Einstein, has inherited Einstein’s
remarkable intelligence and is the only person in the world
who knows Einstein’s last secret—the Final Theory, a set of
equations that could explain all the forces of nature. Only
those who understand the key to creation could know how to
destroy it. The Iranian nuclear blast is a demonstration of
this understanding. Soon David and Monique realize their
desperate search for Michael is also a desperate race to
stop the horrific power of the theory from being unleashed. Joining forces with FBI Agent Lucille Parker, David and
Monique race from the Old City of Jerusalem to the deserts
of Turkmenistan to rescue Michael and stop the cult’s
fanatic leader. Their journey proves just how difficult it
is to stop those who are willing to die in the name of God. Praised by bestselling peers such as Douglas Preston and
James Rollins, Mark Alpert shows he is at the top of his
writing game and the cutting edge of science, seamlessly
weaving fact and fiction with nonstop heart-pounding action
in this explosive thriller. We will never see our universe in quite the same way
again.
