The Rule of Four
By: Ian Caldwell, Dustin Thomason
Genre: Suspense
Ha ha, this takes me back to my university days. LOL, that was 3 months ago I guess! In The Rule of Four, we follow the post-teenage angst, pre-graduation period of four best friends at Princeton University. Tom sullivan is the son of a historian, who dedicated his entire life to the study of Hypnerotomachia, a Renaissance manuscript whose mysterious contents have hitherto remained undeciphered. His father, and two Princeton professors, Dr. Richard Curry and Dr. Vincent Taft are now estranged nemeses...each wanting the glory of uncovering the secret of the book written by Francesco Colonna in the 1400's. Paul, one of Tom's roomates, is equally as driven to discover the mystery behind the book, which includes sordid murders and a secret crypt somewhere in Rome. These two first time authors have woven a suspenseful tale that incorporates a digestable amount of history and interesting code cracking techniques.
