Excitement over an ancient Bible manuscript unearthed in France quickly fades as the world’s electronic information starts to disappear soon after its discovery. Data on every computer and device on Earth simply vanishes, bringing civilization to its knees.
In the US, linguist Helen Cherbourne studies a portion of the manuscript sent across the Atlantic just before the planes stopped flying and is stunned to find enigmatic markings that have no place in an ancient Bible.
Aided by a charming computer scientist she does not fully trust, she makes a series of discoveries that shatter her understanding of history and convince her the manuscript’s exotic symbols are connected to whatever strange phenomenon is obliterating the world’s information.
With time running out, she makes the most shocking discovery of all…preventing humanity’s descent into barbarism lies not in restoring its ruined technology, but in solving the mystery locked in her own hazy memories . . .
Entropy is a literary technothriller adventure with the originality of Dark Matter, the big ideas of The Three-Body Problem, and the jaw-dropping twists of Dan Brown’s classic series.
