But it also brings him to the attention of the National Security Agency and a shadowy United Nations outfit called Pax per Fidemor Peace Through Transparencywhose secretive workings belie its name. Suddenly Ranjitalong with his familyfinds himself swept up in world-shaking events, his genius for abstract mathematical thought put to uses that are both concrete and potentially deadly.
