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?
Ray Crawford, a nuclear
physicist frustrated with obscurity and elusive fame, agrees to conduct
the dangerous 13th Power experiments in Simi Valley, California. At
stake, Presidential Directive Number 119, STAR WARS, a particle beam of
unimaginable power. The Ark will stop at nothing to get it, including
mass murder. Ray's place in history is close at hand when his estranged

It will take all his skill as a scientist to save the world from his
ambition and all his love as a father to protect Lisa from his past.
The 13th Power is a

pages to the brutal end.
