Summary

To solve the enigma of her past, a brilliant but troubled young woman joins a deadly global treasure hunt.

Strange hallucinations have plagued PhD student Andie Robertson throughout her life. After years of consulting doctors, she decided the visions were a glitch in her own mind - until her mentor, the famous physicist Dr. James Corwin, is murdered in Italy, and Andie finds a stack of ink drawings in his office that bear a remarkable resemblance to her hallucinations.

Shocked, Andie digs deeper and learns that Dr. Corwin developed a device that might shed light on the very nature of reality. She is even more stunned to discover that her mother, an academic who disappeared when Andie was a young girl, might also be involved.

Determined to find answers, Andie follows a trail of clues placed by Dr. Corwin, for reasons unknown, in museums and cultural sites around the world, highlighting human achievement as well as a tapestry of secret knowledge woven into the threads of history.

Yet Andie is not the only one searching. Powerful forces know of her mentor's invention, including a mysterious elite society that spans borders and will stop at nothing to find the device. Now a target herself, Andie and a disgraced journalist embark on a perilous journey that might hold the key to a new frontier of knowledge - and which also promises to unlock the doors of her past.

From the author of the best-selling Dominic Grey novels, Genesis is a mind-bending thriller about how far two people will go for answers, and to save the ones they love.

Competent thriller, well read

This is a tie in to a video game Unknown 9, which also has a scripted podcast and comic book out. Though from what I can tell they are not crossover stories.

This novel features three threads, one set in 1930s Europe and one in present day. The story revolves around a missing scientist and his research assistant who has to team up with a disgraced journalist to try and understand what has happened. There are some competing factions involved and the thriller moves around the globe as the two protagonists outwit assassin's and try to solve the mystery.

It's pretty fast paced and engaging. The only gripe is that it's a bit formulaic (though you kind of know what you're getting into with this type of tie in book) and there are a lot of unanswered questions so it'll be annoying if parts 2 and 3 do not get released.

But a solid, fun listen.
