About the Book:
Simon Orwell is a brilliant student whose life has taken a series of wrong turns. At the point of giving up on his dreams, he gets a call from an old professor who has discovered a breakthrough in a device that would create unlimited energy, and he needs Simon's help.
But once he crosses the border, nothing goes as the young man planned. The professor has been killed and Simon is assaulted and nearly killed by members of a powerful drug cartel.
Now he must take refuge in the only place that will help him, a local orphanage. There, Simon meets Harold Finch, the orphanage proprietor who walked away from a lucrative career with NASA and consulting Fortune 500 companies to serve a higher cause.
With Harold's help, Simon sets out on a quest to uncover who killed the professor and why. In due time, he will discover secrets to both the world changing device and his own unlimited potential.
My Review:
This book reminds me of why it is so important for us to encourage and believe in others. The unfolding of this story shows this very concept beginning with the professor's believe in Simon. The story was well-crafted and definitely had me thinking at times. I don't normally read Mr. Bunn's books but this one has me looking forward to reading another from him!
Thank you to B&H Books and NetGalley for allowing me to review this book--the opinions and thoughts are my own.
