Summary

This is the fascinating story of a brilliant, bewitching and enigmatic woman and the price she pays for daring to solve the greatest mystery of the mathematical world. Starting from obscure and humble beginnings in North Africa, she defies convention and rises in the contentious, male-dominated field of abstract mathematics to become a world-renowned number theorist. But she soon finds herself persona non grata among her colleagues, vilified in the public press and detained on suspicion of terrorism, her discovery considered a threat to the security of world governments and international finance. Paul Wilson, author of In the Wilderness of Zin, Hunger's Season and Blues By The Numbers, has given us a gripping tale of brilliant minds competing in their obsessive quest to discover the fundamental laws of nature. The Ishango Bone is full of surprising twists and turns that challenge one to question the very nature of truth itself.
