Expectation Value

Expectation Value is a story of spies, physicists, mercenaries, and billionaire cult leaders fighting to control world-changing technology. The catch? The secret lies in the mind of one man and he’s terrified of what he knows… It is New Year’s Eve, 1994 and Dr. Vernon Whitlow meets the man whose radical theories (and deep secrets) will change the course of his life. The next day, a tragedy strikes that will ricochet far into the future. It is May 2022 and Vern’s son Thales is snared in a honey trap by a Russian spy working undercover at his law firm. At the same time, Lana, his FBI agent girlfriend, is thrown into an urgent counterintelligence investigation that tests her bravery and her loyalty. Mysteries multiply and this ill-fated couple find themselves drawn into dangerous vortex of intimate lies, corporate secrets, Chinese spies, and Russian assassins. Dr. Whitlow, now a National Security Agency physicist running a secret research program, makes a world-shaking breakthrough. Kidnapped by dueling cults run by estranged tech billionaires, Vern is thrown into a kaleidoscopic odyssey… lost in an apocalyptic conspiracy… in a race against time to save humanity… from himself.
