Newton's Fire by Will Adams
Synopsis :
A breathtaking thriller which weaves history and religion with action, adventure and apocalypse…
Luke Hayward is adrift. Blacklisted out of academia, he is in no position to refuse when a client asks for his expert help in recovering some lost Isaac Newton papers.
But a chance discovery in a dusty attic plunges Luke into a race to uncover the truth behind some seemingly random scribblings - a race which pits Luke against a fundamentalist madman with dangerously powerful friends.
Luke discovers connections between Oxford, London and the Old City of Jerusalem in a breathless chase to uncover a secret hidden in the eccentric ramblings of a mathematical genius; a secret that, in the wrong hands, could be used to spark the holy war to end all holy wars…
This is what I say :
This would be the last book I read for this year. Newton's Fire is a rather intriguing title. It has hints of Dan Brown ala Davinci Code but then different with a Sam Bourne feel as well. The book started excited enough with murder and chases across the county and subsequently across the continent.
I do like Luke the character. He has his own charm but he's rather a plain Joe which fits quite well cos the female character is rather plain Jane too.
There were certain sections in the book where things gets too descriptive but if you get past that, you will enjoy the rather thrilling adventure of Newton's Fire.
