Albert Einstein's groundbreaking scientific discoveries made possible the creation of the most terrible weapon the world had ever known. But he made another discovery that he chose to reveal to no one—to keep from human hands a power that dwarfed the atomic bomb.When twelve-year-old Daphne Marrity takes a videotape labeled Pee-wee's Big Adventure from her recently deceased grandmother's house, neither she nor her college-professor father, Frank, realize what they now have in their possession. In an instant they are thrust into the center of a world-altering conspiracy, drawing the dangerous attentions of both the Israeli Secret Service and an ancient European cabal of occultists. Now father and daughter have three days to learn the rules of a terrifying magical chess game in order to escape a fate more profound than death—because the Marritys hold the key to the ultimate destruction of not only what's to come...but what already has been.

Review of 'Three days to never' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Enjoyed Three Days to Never for its originality, the heaps of crazy fast action, occult elements, time travel and the employment of Chaplin's films as devices. The climax and denouement are even crazier, but expected. A lot to keep track of. I'd have awarded this another star if I hadn't read so much on Chaplin and his life: a few events in Chaplin's life are, for the sake of story, associated with a film Chaplin produced and Josef von Sternberg directed, and was intentionally burned. Keeping track of the novel's intrinsic logic was tricky for this easily distracted reader, however my distracted quality did allow me to swallow the conjoin of physics and interdimensional travel.
