As war rages in 1944, young army lieutenant Lucas Athan recovers a sarcophagus excavated from an Egyptian tomb. Shipped to Princeton University for study, the box contains mysteries that only Lucas, aided by brilliant archaeologist Simone Rashid, can unlock.
These mysteries may, in fact, defy—or fulfill—the dire prophecies of Albert Einstein himself.
Struggling to decipher the sarcophagus’s strange contents, Lucas and Simone unwittingly release forces for both good and unmitigated evil. The fate of the world hangs not only on Professor Einstein’s secret research but also on Lucas’s ability to defeat an unholy adversary more powerful than anything he ever imagined.
From the mind of bestselling author and award-winning journalist Robert Masello comes a thrilling, page-turning adventure where modern science and primordial supernatural powers collide.
From the Editor
Hitler stole it. The Office of Strategic Services recovered it. The Pentagon thinks it’s powerful enough to enlist some of the top professors at Princeton to study it. And every encounter seems to lead to someone’s death. The relic in question, a mysterious ossuary containing strange artifacts and human skeletal remains, could spell an end to World War II…or the beginning of something far worse.
The startling premise of Robert Masello’s new supernatural thriller had me hooked from the get-go. As a devotee of Albert Einstein—one of the twentieth century’s greatest thinkers and most outspoken humanists—I went into my first reading of this chilling, fast-paced tale with every reason to like it. Turns out there were many more reasons than I’d imagined.
Masello is an award-winning journalist, television writer, and author of both novels and nonfiction, with a particular talent for historical thrillers. (His next book is a hugely ambitious reimagining of the lives of Robert Louis Stevenson and Jack the Ripper.) In The Einstein Prophecy, he delivers not only a boldly original take on Einstein’s wartime service during his tenure at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton but also a vivid, immersive depiction of this historical setting, seasoned with an engaging romance between the beautiful, headstrong Egyptian scholar Simone Rashid and army lieutenant Lucas Athan, wounded by war in more ways than one.
In a year that marks the one hundredth anniversary of Einstein’s groundbreaking theory of general relativity, what better way to celebrate than with a summertime thriller that races at a blistering pace to a provocative conclusion? Show less – Jason Kirk, Editor
