Amazon.com description: Product Description: Columbia University professor David Swift is called to the hospital to comfort his mentor, a physicist whoâs been brutally attacked.
With his last words, the dying man gives his former pupil a seemingly random string of numbers that could hold the key to Einsteinâs last and greatest secret. Einheitliche Feldtheorie. The Theory of Everything. Einsteinâs proposed Unified Theoryâa set of equations that could explain all the forces of natureâwould have revolutionized our understanding of the universe. But Einstein never discovered it. Or did he? Within hours, David is arrested by the FBI and taken to a secret interrogation center. But the FBI isnât the only faction pursuing Einsteinâs long-hidden theory. A Russian mercenary wants to force David to talkâand he will do whatever it takes. On the run for his life, David teams up with an old girlfriend, a brilliant Princeton scientist, and frantically tries to piece together Einsteinâs final theory to reveal its staggering consequences.
We used E=mc2 to build the atom bombâ¦What could we do with the key to creation?
Seamlessly weaving real science, history, and politics with an intriguing love story, Final Theory expertly combines fact and fiction with nonstop heart-pounding action in a plot that will have you riveted until its explosive end.
