When two brothers stumble upon a gun and a crumbling notebook in the English countryside, they set in motion a chain of events that leads back to the dying embers of the Second World War - and the final, portentous days of Winston Churchill's premiership. The cryptic jottings belong to a forgotten veteran: a man broken by conflict, haunted by secrets, and once entangled in an invisible war fought by the brightest minds of an age. At the heart of it all lies a mystery buried since 1945 - a message penned by Churchill himself at a conference table in Potsdam, and then stolen before it could be acted upon. As the narrator pieces together a puzzle that spans generations, he uncovers the terrifying legacy of the Invisible College, a secretive fellowship founded by the 'English Leonardo', Robert Hooke. But what did Hooke discover - and why has it been hidden for over 300 years? Hooke's Prism is a gripping literary thriller that peers into the shadowy spaces between science, power, and history. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Darkly comic, fiercely intelligent, and rich with historical intrigue, Hooke's Prism asks one urgent question: When truth is refracted through power, can we ever see the world as it truly is?"
