Críticas
"Wow! Einstein would have loved this book. It's a great thriller, it has a sure feel for politics, and the science is both fun and solid. He always dreamed that he would discover a unified theory that explained all of nature's forces. Now this book makes the quest come alive." -- Walter Isaacson, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Einstein"
"A high-IQ doomsday thriller with clearly explicated and hauntingly beautiful scientific theories...[A] satisfying high-tech, high-stakes adventure." -- "Booklist" (starred)
""Final Theory" has everything I love in a novel: heart-pounding tension, astonishing plot twists, and fascinating science. Mark Alpert manages to make physics more thrilling than I ever imagined!" -- Tess Gerritsen, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Bone Garden"
"Alpert has a rare gift for combining cutting-edge science with an unrelenting pace and edge-of-the-seat action. An impressive debut." -- Kyle Mills, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Rising Phoenix"
"I have always been fascinated by the potential of science, the point where physics appears to defy its own laws and behave in uncertain ways. Thanks to this wonderful novel, I have reunited with an old passion and enjoyed a journey full of unexpected twists and drama." -- Javier Sierra, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Secret Supper"
""Final Theory" is a stupendous read! Real characters, real science, a deliciously explosive premise, and a breakneck plot combine to make this one of the finest science-based thrillers to appear in a long time. "Final Theory" rules. If I were Michael Crichton, I'd be packing my bags and heading for a quiet retirement in Tahiti..." -- Douglas Preston, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Blasphemy"
"A pure potboiler...Well-plotted, well-written...You'll love it." -- Sharon Begley, Newsweek.com
"An ingenious twist on Einstein's genius." -- Thomas Greanias, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Raising Atlantis"
"The relentless action, including one giant twist and plenty of smaller ones, builds to a pulse-pounding conclusion." -- "Publishers Weekly"
"A physics-based version of the "Da Vinci Code"...The work of an expert with a pertinent skill." -- Janet Maslin, "The New York Times"
Reseña del editor
A science professor on the run must find a lost Einstein theory--and keep it from those who might use it to destroy the universe. Don't miss the "riveting" (Publishers Weekly) doomsday thriller that Booklist calls "a strikingly sweet-natured yet satisfyingly barbed high-tech, high-stakes adventure" in a starred review.
David Swift is called to the hospital to comfort his dying mentor--a renowned scientist who's been brutally tortured. David is shocked when the old man dies after wheezing "Einheitlichen Feldtheorie." The Theory of Everything. It was Albert Einstein's lifetime quest to pin down a unified set of equations that incorporated both relativity and quantum mechanics, combining the physics of stars with the laws of atoms. But Einstein never achieved this goal. Or did he? In the next two hours, David's attacked by a Russian assassin, arrested by the FBI, and nearly killed three times. Someone is clearly trying to get their hands on the supposedly failed theory. But why? As David runs for his life, he'll team up with his old girlfriend (who happens to be gorgeous, brilliant, and living in Einstein's old Princeton house), another eccentric disciple of Einstein, and an autistic teenager addicted to video games, in order to work out what Einstein's theories could possibly be worth to the powers desperate for it--and if the world is even ready for their consequences."Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
