The Newton Code by Liam Fialkov
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sir Isaac Newton and his more secretive pursuits of knowledge are at the center of this mystery thriller. Michael is a professor of Investigative Journalism who is sharp as a tack. When all computer activities in the USA are halted for 13 min by a mysterious message and image of an arc, Michael is soon contacted by a man who clearly has his own agenda and likes his secrets. Michaels curiosity is peaked however, and reluctantly agrees to help Mr. Bishop out. Going undercover and joining this fanatics group dedicated to Newton, Michael is quickly drawn into a web of mathematical and religious conspiracies and has to use all his wit to prevent a catastrophe.
Very fast paced and well written, the book is written in the vein of the Davinci code, although this one deals with Newton mainly rather than Jesus. Also, the little tidbits that Michael follows to solve the mystery are intriguing in their ingenuity and can easily be believed to actually have some truth to them.
