Description

Anne-Marie, a woman with a past, and her physicist husband Peter, attend a cutting-edge physics conference in Greece--only to be drawn to a fateful rendezvous on the island of Crete, where the history of an ancient civilization and the turbulent personal history of one man, the brilliant, brooding older scientist Minakis, collide to create new elements in all their lives."Preuss combines cutting edge quantum physics with fascinating Greek archaeology to make an absolute masterwork of a book,full of compelling images,evocative settings and scientific verisimilitude." [Compare to Gregory Benson's "Artifact")
