A
Janis Mackey Sci-Fi Thriller
by
Terry
Wright
American and
European scientists are using bigger and faster particle accelerators to
smash atoms into smaller and smaller pieces. They are looking for the
Higgs boson, the particle that gives matter mass, the "God
Particle." What if they find it?
Fermilab
and CERN are the biggest players in this race for the Higgs boson, named after
Peter Higgs who first proposed its existence in1964 as a way to explain why
atoms have mass. Since then, tens of billions of dollars have been spent to
prove the Higgs exists. Russia tried but failed in a catastrophic way.
However,
in California, there’s a smaller lab with an equally determined group of
scientists in the hunt. Their motivations are as varied as the characters
themselves. Whether it’s love, money, power, fame, or revenge that drives
them, they’re about to set the world on a course of impending destruction.
This
is their story.

Praise
for "The 13th Power Quest"
"This is a taut, pacy thriller with heart and balls. As compulsive as the best Dan Brown and as well-written as any page-turner I’ve read, this
novel engages the reader with ‘big’ ideas and tackles weighty current issues. The race is on to find the Higgs boson, dubbed the
"God Particle" and some Machiavellian forces will stop at nothing to ensure that they
discover it first. From the off, this is a rip-roaring roller-coaster of a ride. The reader is often left breathless by the filmic-quality action
sequences. Mixed motivation abounds, and the characters are believably shaded, not all good, not all bad, and realistic.
I for one will be reading more of Wright’s work, especially those sci-fi thrillers which feature
Dr. Janis Mackey. The climax of the novel is a real show-stealer. Bravo!"
