Dr. Ben Chesney is a world renowned professor of optics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology who works on the highly-classified Project Spectrum for the United States government. But when the power he creates becomes too great for the hands of a superpower, Dr. Chesney has to take the situation in his own hands, doing whatever need be done to protect himself and everyone around him from the long arm of a shady governmental agency. Spectrum is a story of friendship, philosophy, and scientific advancement, but more than anything it is a mile-a-minute thriller where the next turn could take the reader anywhere.
