Ex-Navy Seal Nolan Kilkenny is recruited by the US government to find an incredible scientific discovery that could prove to be the ultimate power of the new millennium… The thrilling action adventure from the international bestseller.

DECEIT. BETRAYAL. DEATH. THEY'RE ALL RELATIVE.
In 1948, a young German émigré reached the threshold of an incredible scientific discovery: a blueprint for the construction of the universe that could surpass the theories of Einstein. But the scientist's secret past catches up to him with a vengeance, and he and his work are seemingly lost forever.

Now, buried knowledge has been rediscovered and whoever controls it holds the keys to the future. Two sides, American and Russian, are in a ruthless fight for the ultimate power of the new millennium – Quantum technology – and ex-Navy SEAL Nolan Kilkenny finds himself caught in the crossfire.

To stop the fate of the world from being hijacked, Kilkenny must wage a war across two hemispheres as he races to solve a decades-old mystery, that's if the solution doesn't kill him first….

i enjoyed this book both science and action so for me ideal. although i thought that the russian special forces were done a disservice as they are way tougher and most seals woulnt pass the traing

This was a nice, easy and enjoyable read. An action thriller about the science of power and human power. It read much like a tie-in to a movie and there was no literary depth to the the story, just page turning action.
