The worlds single greatest scientific mind is fourteen-years-old, doing graduate studies at M.I.T., and experimenting in the basement of his Virginia home in his spare time. Jonathan Swain may know how to unravel string theory, but what he doesnt know is that the second greatest scientific-Frank Swain, his father and lab partner-has been keeping a secret from him for years. When Jonathan discovers that the book shop of his ex-Marine-turned-antiquarian uncle, Jack, is a front for a series of secretive quests in search of high-value ancient artifacts, he infiltrates their private rendezvous. This time, the target is an object that, if found, could change their perception of science and history as they know it. But Frank, Uncle Jack, and his mysterious German partner, Katarina Dresner, arent the only ones in search of the long-buried artifact. Jacks expeditions have stirred the interest of a secret society bent on world domination and accelerating an apocalypse. When a stowaway is discovered, Jacks team must decide what price they are willing to pay to keep the ancient secrets out of the wrong hands.
