When the reclusive mathematician Jeremy Grady goes missing, it's up to
his estranged brother Jack to find out why. His search leads him on a
far-flung journey--from Brazil, India, Peru, and beyond--as he unravels
the mystery that links the Seven Wonders of the World, and discovers
that Jeremy may have hit upon something that's been concealed for
centuries. With the help of scientist Sloane Costa, they discover a
conspiracy to hide a road map to the Garden of Eden--and the truth
behind a mythological ancient culture.
With a heart-pounding pace and panoramic backdrops, Seven Wonders is
an electrifying read, and will be the first in a trilogy.
"It's a fast-moving thriller involving murder, conspiracy, historical
mystery, and the Seven Wonders of the World. Is it enjoyable and
imaginative? Hell, yeah." --Booklist
"Seven Wonders delivers a page-turning global adventure with the high
stakes and hard-charging characters we expect from a Ben Mezrich story.
An exciting, compulsive read that will please thriller fans and history
buffs." --Matthew Pearl, New York Times bestselling author of The
Dante Club and The Technologists
"Ben Mezrich's Seven Wonders is a terrific adventure, a wild quest
around the world in the best Da Vinci Code tradition, in the company
of an Indiana Jones-style scientist-hero who doesn't know the meaning of
fear." --Joseph Finder, author of Paranoia and Suspicion
