 Charlie is recruited by the CIA to help find a lost Equation by Einstein that has the potential to solve the energy crisis--and blow up the world. I read this book in a matter of hours. I absolutely LOVED it. It's on my short list for sure and if it makes it to committee, I'll be voting yes for sure. --Margaux
