The Secret Invention

Adeena Adare, a glamorous and successful poet, is caught up in life-threatening conspiratorial crosshairs along with her twin brother because his secret world-changing invention, a nano engine that runs on dark matter and antimatter will render oil companies, nuclear power, and public utilities obsolete. The Secret Invention is a futuristic novel in which science, art, and technology transform the world, as we know it.


"It's technically science fiction, after all--because Adeena's brilliant, reclusive twin brother, Jeremy (imagine Andy Warhol as a humanitarian scientist), has just perfected "the Glass Engine," a revolutionary, new free-energy source based on lasers and nanoparticles... Jeremy wants the invention to be a gift to all mankind, not a secret hoarded by the greedy and dangerous 1 percent profiteers of Wall Street and the energy industry... Meanwhile, suspicious terrorist attacks start hitting the United States... The busy, fast-paced narrative serves largely as a vehicle for... [a] brisk... mix of New York City glitterati, literati, technocrati, and subatomic nuclei..."
