About This Item
[London]: Little, Brown, [2006]., 2006. First edition. First edition. Author's first novel. Signed. Fine in dust jacket. When a friend suggests a wild weekend in Las Vegas, Logan Smith, struggling to establish an academic career in Philadelphia, thinks it might be just what the doctor ordered. What he doesn't expect is a personal lesson in blackjack from a beautiful, dangerous attendant who is going to change his life forever. Uneasily transplanted to a campus in Arizona, Logan immerses himself in his research, and begins to explore a new and revolutionary theory. Gradually, as his work takes shape, not only does his personal life shift and turn hostile around him but the ideas he is pursuing turn out to have repercussions more far-reaching than he could have imagined. If he is right in his theorizing, the very future of the planet is at stake. He must deal with temptation, self-doubt, and betrayal before he can follow his discovery through. By the time his theories are put to the test, all the assumptions he has ever made are brought into question. This book is being reviewed very well.
