In a breathless thriller

that explores the relationship between science and the divine, good and evil, space

and time, Jane Jensen takes us from the world we know into a reality we could only

scarcely imagine. Until now.

“Powerful . . . A combustible mixture of science and mysticism, a high-altitude thriller fizzing with intrigue.”—John Case, author of The Eighth Day

Rabbi Aharon Handalman’s expertise with Torah code—rearranging

words and letters in the Bible—has uncovered a man’s name. Who is Yosef Kobinski,

and why did God hide his name in His sacred text? To find the answers, Aharon begins

an investigation, and discovers that Kobinski, a Polish rabbi, was not only a mystic

but also a brilliant physicist who authored what may be the most important lost work

in human history.

In Seattle, Jill Talcott’s work with energy wave equations is

being linked to Yosef Kobinski, now deceased, who claimed nearly fifty years ago

that he discovered an actual physical law of good and evil. But when Jill’s lab explodes,

she is forced to flee for her life, realizing that her cutting-edge research is far

more dangerous than she ever has imagined. And that powerful people have a stake

in what she may have uncovered.

Now Jill, her research partner, and a writer fascinated

by Kobinski are about to meet Handalman in Poland—all four desperate to solve the

astonishing riddle. Searching through the past, they trace Kobinski to a clearing

in the woods near Auschwitz. And in that clearing they come face-to-face with the

inexplicable: that Kobinski, drawing on his own alchemy of science and the Kabbalah,

made himself vanish from the death camp in a blaze of fire. Now, with intelligence

agents hot on their trail, the investigators have no choice. They must follow Kobinski—to wherever he may have gone. . . .

Reviews for Dante's Equation: A Novel

In this remarkable thriller, wave mechanics and hidden codes quickly give way to the fundamental nature of space/time-and that's just for starters! A tour de force of speculative imagination, grounded in science that is both credible and cutting-edge. -DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD, Authors of The Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities In this remarkable thriller, wave mechanics and hidden codes quickly give way to the fundamental nature of space/time and that s just for starters!
