Albert Einstein's groundbreaking scientific discoveries 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 videotape labeled Pee-wee's Big Adventure from her recently deceased grandmother's house, neither she nor her college-professor father, Frank, realize what they now have in their possession. In an instant they are thrust into the center of a world-altering conspiracy, drawing the dangerous attentions 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 already has been.

Review of 'Three days to never' on 'Goodreads'

If you like Powers, you should like this. Fast paced, lots of hints to follow, and all that. Love the one stoical character who sees his life ending bit by bit, but soldiers on. I get impatient with Powers' stuff. It is wheels within wheels within wheels. Reminds me of reading John Le Carr�'s Smiley novels, where you think you understand who did what, and then it turns out that he's a double agent, and that evidence was faked, and oh... it's just too much work.
