Product Description
First in the TimeLine series, The Ninth Cube is an intellectual treat that explores a surreal bending of fate, tragedy, and happenstance. Filled with drama and profound insight, author Victor Grippi creates a modern day fable of personal limits and the quest to solve the mystery of life, involving the science of Carl Sagan, Michio Kaku, and Stephen Hawking. The brilliant physicist Dr. Daniel Lamb unveils the secrets of what lies beyond the fourth dimension—and how it can be used for time travel. In a rush of action, one thing is certain: time travel proves to be unnatural and incredibly dangerous when the technology falls into the hands of a self-righteous band of terrorists. As the fate of the world hangs in the balance, Daniel and his team of top-notch scientists, including the lovely and intelligent Tanya, enlists the help of The Knights Templar and Albert Einstein. Daniel is ultimately faced with a horrible dilemma that culminates in a personal revelation of biblical proportions.
"Anyone who has a flair for the research of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan will appreciate Grippi's use of physics throughout the novel..."

Great Science Thriller! August 30, 2008

5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Fresh and original, hard core science thriller. Not for the faint of heart!
Wow, I was totally immersed and enthralled in this story. Author does an excellent job of explaining complex scientific theories like string theory and relativity and intertwines a spiritual symbolism that is very reminiscent of the late Carl Sagan. Some of the dialogue is very scientific, but is written in present tense, and this really put me into the beat of the story. Characters are vivid and have depth, something most techno-thrillers lack. The relationship between Daniel and his chief scientist, Tanya, is very entertaining and realistic.
The story line is heavily based on research and speculation, and moves very fast at times, but again this adds to the present tense realism that drew me into the story. I look forward to Book 2 in the series, and after the ending in this one, I can't wait to see the next one.
