The Code in the Sand

This is a novel, in the thriller category, whose protagonist is a man named Anthony Dolgiewicz. Known as "Doge" since he was three and unable to pronouce "Dolgiewicz", Anthony ("Doge") Dolgiewicz was never just an athlete from a small town in Pennsylvania's Anthracite coal region; never just a student-scholar at an elite Ivy League University. He was a man who saw the world in dimensions others couldn't see. By decoding the physical geometry of ancient Biblical texts - Bible Codes and Torah scrolls - he didn't just find a prayer--- he found a mathematical algorithm that unlocks the worlds of international finance, geopolitical intrigue, and more. Now a billionaire consultant living in self-imposed exile in the American Southwest, Doge hoped to leave the world and its clawing attention behind. But the world isn't finished with him. A shadowy cabal known as The Prism working through its emissary, Elias Thorne, is hunting Doge's key to the Code to rewrite the global order, and they've enlisted Doge's old mentor to track him down from his scorched desert hideaway to financial centers in Asia and beyond. From classrooms in Philadelphia to high-stakes trading floors in the world's financial centers, to secret corridors of international espionage, Doge is thrust into a race against time. With a rogue FBI agent, a brilliant desert hacker and an old friend and matriarch as his only allies, he must protect a secret hidden for millennia. As Thorne uses a flawed version of Doge's key to manufacture a global crisis, threatening to spark cascading catastrophes from the Middle East to Europe, Doge realizes his discovery isn't a burden---it's the ultimate key to the world's innermost secrets, and the only way to stop Thorne. With millions of lives at stake, and a new world order hanging in the balance, Doge and his fledgling team cross continents to the lowest point on earth - beneath the Dead Sea - as the final stage of Thorne's plan nears completion. In this pulse-pounding thriller, the line between ancient prophecy and modern technology vanishes, leaving one man to open the lock that preserves the future and holds the fate of the world.
