One of the goals of writing “Spam & Eggs: A Johnny Denovo Mystery,” was to produce a very good mystery book. It’s been in the top 5% of books sold on Amazon.com most days, which is nice.
However, recently, I’ve been reading a book a friend recommended, one that proves that truth can often be stranger than fiction, and one that is a great mystery book itself. This book, entitled “Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea,” details the history of the concept (void and infinity) and realization of zero.
It’s an amazing story well-told, with excellent illustrations and examples. The mystery is what zero will reveal over the centuries as you follow its adoption and evolution, and how it will send various powers over the cliff into the abyss.
An amazing book. I highly recommend it.
