Blasphemy
The world's biggest supercollider, locked in an Arizona mountain, was built to reveal the secrets of the very moment of creation: the Big Bang itself.
The Torus is the most expensive machine ever created by humankind, run by the world's most powerful supercomputer. It is the brainchild of Nobel Laureate William North Hazelius. Will the Torus divulge the mysteries of the creation of the universe? Or will it, as some predict, suck the earth into a mini black hole? Or is the Torus a Satanic attempt, as a powerful televangelist decries, to challenge God Almighty on the very throne of Heaven?
Twelve scientists under the leadership of Hazelius are sent to the remote mountain to turn it on, and what they discover must be hidden from the world at all costs. Wyman Ford, ex-monk and CIA operative, is tapped to wrest their secret, a secret that will either destroy the world... or save it.
The countdown begins...

Douglas Preston
Some thriller writers chase danger. Douglas Preston studies it, dissects it, and then quietly lets it loose on the page.
Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1956 and educated in English literature at Pomona College, Preston’s early path did not begin in a writer’s garret but inside the halls of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Working as an editor and publications manager, he absorbed the language of scientists, curators, and explorers. The experience left a permanent imprint. Laboratories, expedition camps, museum basements, and forbidden archives would later become the living, breathing settings of his fiction.
