English Sample Available

What is the link between the secrets of the Manhattan project for the construction of the atomic bomb at the end of the Second World War, a Nazi expedition in Tibet initiated by Himmler and a mysterious document guarded in the vaults under Area 51? The spectres of terror seemingly buried in the past remerge, and a series of worrying coincidences hint at the arrival of an actual apocalypse. The National Security Agency can only trust one person: a young rebellious professor of philosophy, Michael Price, who has spent his whole life searching for long lost ancient texts. Until today that is… Because Heidegger’s first Black Notebook remerges from the secret archives of the Vatican and in its pages is hidden the key to interpret a mysterious symbol, a secret hidden in the darkness of the planet’s vastest forest. To unveil this mystery is a dangerous and difficult mission, and to stop a threat of planetary proportions is an almost impossible one. Michael is not alone in this adventure however: a woman of extreme beauty and intelligence is working alongside him, and they soon develop a strong yet dangerous bond…

  • “Simone Regazzoni proves to be a master of the modern thriller, mixing action and esoteric elements, adventure and bizarre incursions into the obscure territory of the history of the mind (…). We’re close to the narrative of writers like Steve Berry and Alan Folsom”

    Ranieri Polese, Corriere della Sera

  • “A philosophical divertissement, packed with information, and in the guise of a work of literary escapism”

    La Repubblica

  • “Umberto Eco meets Steven Spielberg in a work of dense philosophical, scientific and cultural references assembled with the frenzied rhythm typical of an action movie.”
