Albert Einstein's groundbreaking scientific discoveries made
possible the creation of the most terrible weapon the world had
ever known. But he made another discovery that he chose to reveal
to no one--to keep from human hands a power that dwarfed the atomic
bomb.
When twelve-year-old Daphne Marrity takes a videotape labeled
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure from her recently deceased grandmother's
house, neither she nor her college professor father, Frank, realize
what they now have in their possession. In an instant they are
thrust into the center of a world-altering conspiracy, drawing the
dangerous attentions of both the Israeli Secret Service and an
ancient European cabal of occultists. Now father and daughter have
three days to learn the rules of a terrifying magical chess game in
order to escape a fate more profound than death--because the
Marritys hold the key to the ultimate destruction of not only
what's to come . . . but what already has been.
