Sinopsis

The Children by Edith Wharton is a novel that explores complex social and moral themes within the context of a post-World War I Europe. The story is centered around Martin Boyne, a middle-aged engineer, who is engaged to be married to Rose Sellars, a woman he has loved for many years. However, his life takes an unexpected turn during a trip to Switzerland. While in Switzerland, Boyne encounters a group of seven children, the Wheater family, who are traveling alone. The children, ranging from a baby to a teenager, are from various failed marriages of an American heiress and an international businessman. They are charming, precocious, and somewhat neglected, and Boyne quickly becomes entangled in their lives.

    Tesla and the Pyramid is a propulsive, action-packed technothriller that reveals undisclosed frontier science and real-world hidden archaeology, blurring the line between fact and fiction like never before. 
    Fact: When Nikola Tesla died, US intelligence seized his final research—an explosive breakthrough so powerful and surreal it was classified for eighty years, becoming the foundation for decades of secret government black projects. 
    But this isn't the first time humanity has discovered this science. 
    ★★★★★ — "Every bit as believable as it is otherworldly." —Penguin Random House Editorial 
    ★★★★★ — "A mischievous, glorious, exuberant ride!" —Amazon 
    Columbia University professor Tony Koviak thinks he knows the ancient world... until a rogue CIA analyst crashes into his life, armed with classified research that rewrites human origins. Together, they must decode Tesla’s final gift to the world: reality-shattering physics that the genius perfected during his decade of isolation. 
    Joined by a maverick geophysicist, they race to unlock Tesla’s mind-bending technology and expose a global conspiracy stretching back to the last Ice Age. But they aren't the only ones hunting for answers. Pursued across continents by ruthless intelligence agencies and a hidden cabal desperate to keep mankind in the dark, they must survive long enough to unearth an impossible truth: a direct link between Tesla’s masterpiece and our long-forgotten past. 
    Winners don’t write history. They erase it. 
    But Tesla has left behind an unthinkable way to fight back. 
    *All archaeology, mythology, symbols, locations, organizations, and speculative scalar physics are real and accurate in this story.
