Synopsis

A stunning debut thriller about a code that threatens humanity -- and the only man who can crack it.

William Sandberg, once a well-respected military cryptologist pursuing cutting-edge research, is a ruined man. His career is in shambles, his marriage is over, and he's succumbed to a dark depression.

But William's talents haven't gone unnoticed. A nameless, top-secret organization abducts him and tasks him with a daunting mission: decode a message that will reveal the disastrous prophecies hidden in our DNA before it is too late.

Meanwhile, William's ex-wife Christina is haunted by his absence and suspects there is more to his disappearance than just the reclusive impulse of a depressed man. Driven by her hunch, she sets out to find him and joins an eclectic cast of characters all drawn to a mysterious chateau in the Alps where the secret organization is plotting something-but is it revenge? Or a rescue mission? What is the organization hiding? What does the code have to do with the potent virus suddenly spreading around the world? And can William uncover the truth before it's too late?

A thrilling novel about humanity on the verge of crisis, taking readers from the streets of Berlin and Stockholm to a chateau in the Alps, Chain of Events explodes and then reconfigures the ties that bind us to one another: marriage, politics, and our DNA.

William Sandberg, kidnapped genius, working on an improbable and impossible problem – if......more

Goodreads review by George on August 30, 2016

Although the cover reads: "Better and more clever than books of Dan Brown", it is not true. The book is much weaker, the books lacks any factography on cryptoanalysis or DNA examination, a reader learns nothing new.......more

Goodreads review by Margaret on May 21, 2015

For the first 200 pages it was interesting. A little bit difficult to follow but promising. Then for the next 200 pages I couldn't put it down. A real page turner with lots of questions waiting for an answer. And after that CHAOS! The last 200 pages full of more questions, bits and pieces of explana......more

Goodreads review by Tadija on April 19, 2021

Prvi review pa da zapocnemo :D Ovu knjigu sam citao veoma dugo ne zato sto nije zanimljiva, nego jednostavno nisam imao vremena, a treba dosta koncentracije. Knjiga je naucno-fantasticna, sa dosta dobrih opisa i detalja i drzi paznju. Opisuje vojnu organizaciju, koja kidnapuje ljude ne bili radili z......more
