Sinossi

A New York Times bestseller by the author of The Ninja: An American martial artist travels to Tokyo and becomes the target of an international conspiracy.   When his best friend dies under suspicious circumstances, martial arts expert Nicholas Linnear vows revenge. And while he may look American, Linnear’s childhood spent in the dojos of Japan taught him that vengeance must never be hurried.   He takes a job for the billionaire industrialist who ordered the murder, planning to befriend his target during a trip to Tokyo. But even for a modern-day ninja, there is such a thing as too close for comfort. In the bustling city, Linnear finds far more to worry about than the intricacies of Japanese business. He is being pursued by a miko: a female assassin, part ninja and part sorceress, whose beauty is matched only by her skill in combat. Drawn into a tangle of corporate intrigue, international espionage, and hedonistic sex, Linnear will have to put revenge on hold if he is to leave Japan alive.   From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author who currently writes the Jason Bourne novels, this is a “swiftly paced and fascinating” thriller that offers “an intricately designed puzzle” (Chicago Sun-Times).

    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. 
    ★★★★★ — "A masterful blend of Heinlein, Gibson, and Brody." —Amazon 
    ★★★★★ — "Every bit as believable as it is otherworldly." —Goodreads 
    ★★★★★ — "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: a reality-shattering physics that the genius perfected during his decade of isolation. 
    Teaming up with a maverick geophysicist, they race to unlock Tesla’s mind-bending technology and expose a global conspiracy stretching back to the last Ice Age. Pursued relentlessly across continents by intelligence agencies, hostile governments, and a hidden cabal determined to keep mankind in the dark, they uncover an impossible truth linking Tesla’s masterpiece to a 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.
