Synopsis

To solve the enigma of her past, a brilliant but troubled young woman joins a deadly global treasure hunt.  Strange hallucinations have plagued PhD student Andie Robertson throughout her life. After years of consulting doctors, she decided the visions were a glitch in her own mind—until her mentor, the famous physicist Dr. James Corwin, is murdered in Italy, and Andie finds a stack of ink drawings in his office that bear a remarkable resemblance to her hallucinations.Shocked, Andie digs deeper and learns that Dr. Corwin developed a device that might shed light on the very nature of reality. She is even more stunned to discover that her mother, an academic who disappeared when Andie was a young girl, might also be involved. Determined to find answers, Andie follows a trail of clues placed by Dr. Corwin, for reasons unknown, in museums and cultural sites around the world, highlighting human achievement as well as a tapestry of secret knowledge woven into the threads of history. Yet Andie is not the only one searching. Powerful forces know of her mentor's invention, including a mysterious elite society that spans borders and will stop at nothing to find the device. Now a target herself, Andie and a disgraced journalist embark on a perilous journey that might hold the key to a new frontier of knowledge—and which also promises to unlock the doors of her past. From the author of the bestselling Dominic Grey novels, Genesis is a mind-bending thriller about how far two people will go for answers, and to save the ones they love.

The book had the same atmosphere as Dan Brown's “Angels and Demons”. The book had mystery, thrilling scenes, action, puzzles and a potential love interest. There where no romance per se but the potential for one. It was a sci-fi kind of futuristic tech and secret society type of story. I really love......more

Goodreads review by Jamie on September 13, 2020

A good adventure story with intrigue. Uknown 9: Genesis is my first Layton Green novel. It ends with some questions, but it is a trilogy. The use of history, myth, legend, and mysticism give the story some depth and keep the narrative interesting. It is a typical humans can't handle power theme. And......more

This a really great thriller. It is kind of like the Da Vinci Code but with science instead of religion. The story really sucked me in. It only took so long to read because of current events and the fact that the font of the ARC was super tiny making it difficult to read. Read my full review at Girl......more
