John Raymond, a renowned mathematician at the Newtonian Research Academy (NRA), is summoned to solve a symbolic code underlying a large terrorist plot to assassinate a set of world leaders. Instead, he soon finds himself trapped in a game, larger than what appears to be. During the 17th Century, long before he published his works on Calculus, a young Isaac Newton buried a secret that threatened the existence of modern civilization, possibly even his own. An ancient community, believed to have been destroyed centuries ago, rises again in the 21st century to unearth Newton’s secret hidden in a complex Calculus puzzle laid out by Newton himself. Graham Roebuck, the Director of the NRA, discovers the source to the Calculus puzzle in one of Isaac Newton’s personal diaries purchased by his grandfather at the Sotheby’s auction of Newton’s works in 1936. A powerful game of deception unfolds, revealing a dangerous conspiracy that challenges God as the Supreme Creator... “A brilliantly researched theological thriller that merges historical and religious facts into a fictional narrative.” “It is a long read, but the uniqueness of the plot induces mystery right through to the epilogue.” “Thoroughly enjoyed all attempts to decode the symbols and come up with a solution.” “It is always dangerous and controversial to write about real personalities, but the Author’s research is intense and evident.” “Assassinations, Symbols, Mathematics and religious revelations. This plot is a clear winner.”

When I started translating Kalki’s Ponniyin Selvan in 2010, blissfully unaware of the depth and the magnitude of the work, several people tried to dissuade me. One potential publisher even lured me with an offer to translate another work of Kalki. Reason: there were already many translations around. Yes, there were. But most of them, though done with utmost sincerity, failed to create the emotional bond with the readers which the original author had effortlessly done in the Fifties when Ponniyin Selvan was serialised in a popular magazine. I did not rush up. I did not have a target or deadline. I let the translation work progress in its own pace. That explains the six long years I spent for this project. I read and re-read the first draft a dozen times before handing it over to my editors. There were many points of contention. There were issues where we could not reach a consensus easily. Finally the hard copy was ready for publication in 2016. The publisher had jitters and so did I. We got ready rough copies of two volumes. I gave it to two of my friends, who had read the original more than sixty times, with a mandate to read them in one go. They did and said “This is the best you can do in English.” The work culminated not when the book was released by a former Central Minister in 2016, not even when it went for three editions but when an ardent fan of Kalki sent a mail to me in 2019. “It was as if Kalki himself rendered his great work in English.”
