    About this ebook

    Exiled in London, 2009, and haunted by the painful memories of their old life marked by dictatorial control and oppression, Petra Sakovich and Ricardo Lavin are filled with ambition and desire for revenge. The two intellectuals create a mathematical theory which gathers all the variables that sustain the power of a dictatorial government and represents them in a single equation. When The Theory is executed, it creates a collapse in the target regime, giving path to a democratic society.

    But The Theory is too powerful for them to contain. As the process of overthrowing dictators advances, they unleash a monster product of their obsession. What once was their dream, starts to become a nightmare that forces them to run away from their own downfall.

    In a vibrating story, suspenseful, tragic and awash on pure hope and resilience, "The Theory" exposes how careless of consequences the human actions can be, if they are propelled by a good combination of love and ambition.

    Alejandro Duque

    Alejandro Duque is an author, speaker, and globetrotter. He is a permanent entrepreneur, always innovating new ways to create a positive impact to the people around him. As an exiled, his stories mix contemporary history and biographic/fictional elements, together with a dynamic plot that makes his work unique. His past and present life has given to him many stories to tell and anonymous heroes to recognize in his work. Alejandro also develops, executes and manages large scale educational projects in Africa, which benefit thousands of people. At home, or in the plane he submerges inside his stories, writing passionately until past midnight. The first part of the series Breaking Chains: "The Theory" took him two and a half years to finish, and more than four of gathering the main elements of the series. He is currently writing in parallel the other two parts of the series Breaking Chains: "The Escape," and "The Last Downfall."
