Things have been going pretty badly for Theo Bernstein. An unfortunate accident at work lost him his job (and his work involved a Very Very Large Hadron Collider so he's unlikely to get it back). His wife has left him. & he doesn't have any money. Before Theo has time to fully appreciate the pointlessness of his own existence news arrives that his good friend Professor Pieter van Goyen renowned physicist & Nobel laureate has died. By leaving the apparently worthless contents of his safety deposit to Theo however the professor has set him on a quest of epic proportions. A journey that will rewrite the laws of physics. A battle to save humanity itself. This is the tale of a man who had nothing & gave it all up to find his destiny
