ⓘ About Craig Dirgo
This story comes laden with historical backgrounds on Albert Einstein. The author highlights one of the theories that Einstein solved right before his death. This theory, unlike the rest of Einstein’s works, was not published due to its destructive nature. Through vivid descriptions, the author describes the race to the finish line as both the Chinese and Americans fight to get their hands on the complete formula. The story slowly builds momentum, and the flawless narration gives the story quite an edge. Taft, Larry Martinez, and the rest of the good guys look like they are outwitted in this war for a good portion of the book. As the bad guys keep getting away, the duo intensifies their search and ask for support whenever necessary.
