Albert Einstein's groundbreaking scientific discovery 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 video tape from her recently deceased grandmother's house, neither she nor her father, Frank, realise what they now have in their possession. In an instant they're thrust into the centre of a world-altering conspiracy, drawing the dangerous attention 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 has already been.

YA sci-fi that reads like a cross between "Dune", "The Hunger Games", PC game "Red Faction", and just a touch of the Star Trek episode "The Cloud Minders".
