Waves The Book Details
Waves, a 21st-century über-Faust, weaves together action, drama, romance, and science in a global setting where the melding of good and evil yields shocking consequences. A science/action epic, a psychological drama, even a scientific dialogue: there's something in Waves for everyone and, yes, something of everyone in Waves. The story recounts the adventures of the contemplative and idealistic Tomas, a doctor-turned-entrepreneur who's discovered a new technology with both medical and military applications. In the mountains above Monte Carlo, he strikes a deal with his hedge fund manager friend, the foul-mouthed, hard-driving, ruthless Maximilian Iblis. A match made in heaven, forged in hell, or somehow both? Adventures ensue that span the globe, including Munich, Paris, Bogotá, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Maui, and Vienna. The American President considers unleashing a tactical nuclear strike. Max turns out to be quite human: the true devil lurks elsewhere. "… a profound expression of the human condition—love, suffering, joy, intrigue, frailty, jealousy, anger, evil, truth, hope, good, mystery—told with incredible knowledge, intellect, rigor, pace, and humanity." "… a page-turner …" "Rarely does a novel with such ambitious scope succeed. This one does."
