Description

Four men dressed in Russian army uniforms jump out and kill the security guards. The truck, loaded with Chechen commandos, breaks into the grounds of Russia's largest nuclear complex. Thirty minutes later, the Chechen squad leaves with two boxes of highly enriched uranium from the complex's nuclear storage facility.
A coded al-Qaeda message intercepted by the CIA puts Washington on alert. Tempted by the CIA agent's cassava, Portuguese historian and cryptanalyst Tomás Noroña takes on the task of discovering what lies behind the cryptic message 6AYHAS1HA8RU.
Ahmed ibn Barahak is an alert Egyptian boy who, under the guidance of Mullah Saad, learns the fundamentals of Islam - a religion that is peaceful, benevolent and tolerant of infidels. Everything changes when a new teacher, Ayman bin Qatada, arrives at the al-Azhar-funded madrassa in Cairo.
All the storylines are intertwined in one astonishing thriller that takes place on three continents: Venice's Doge's Palace, Egypt's Abu Zaabal and Mazra Tora prisons, al-Qaeda's Khaldan training camp in Afghanistan... The hectic chase through the streets of Manhattan stops a few hundred yards from the UN General Assembly building - and three minutes from the nuclear apocalypse...

Central news anchor, war reporter, best-selling author and university professor, José Rodríguez dos Santos ranks after the most popular and respected personalities in Portugal. But his fame has long since transcended the borders of his home country - first with prestigious international awards as a reporter, and then with the huge success of his novels.
José Rodríguez became famous as a writer with the novel Codex 632, which became a literary sensation and the #1 bestseller of 2005 in Portugal. The fascinating story of the true identity of Christopher Columbus was soon published in a number of other countries such as Spain, Italy, the USA and Russia, where it also enjoyed success. With The God Formula, Santos established himself as a leading name in contemporary European intellectual thriller. On the occasion of the premiere of the Bulgarian edition of The God's Formula, the author is visiting our country at the invitation of Hermes Publishing House. The great reader and media interest in his books became the reason for the subsequent two more visits of the Portuguese on the occasion of his novels - „The Seventh Seal“ and „The Last Secret“.
