In his debut novel, Jonathan spins a story from historical fact that takes readers on a fun chase for Albert Einstein’s answer to nuclear weapons. 

Dr. Geoffrey Greene had always doubted the rumors about Einstein’s “Sixth Paper” because the science doesn’t work — you can’t stop the energy release from a nuclear weapon. But as Greene investigates, he is stunned to discover little-known facts about Einstein’s life and work that, when viewed just right, provide clues to the paper — clues that only Einstein himself could have planted.

Greene is not alone in his search, however. A Jesuit priest and military ethicist is out to convince him that America is too polarized to handle the discovery and that it will create an existential risk to democracy. Separately, a Supreme Court justice wants Greene to succeed so he can grab the paper and fulfill Einstein’s vision of a “One World” peacekeeper government with global military supremacy — only with him as the world’s leader.  

The Sixth Paper is a fun read with a dramatic ending that celebrates America and democracy. It is available on Amazon for Kindle and paperback readers, and at Barnes & Noble.
