The Tree of Knowledge Series: Books 1-3
The complete Tree of Knowledge series from bestselling author Daniel G. Miller
Albert can see the future...
He just doesn't know it yet. It is said that chess Grandmasters can envision a match’s outcome ten moves before it occurs. Imagine a person who can visualize ten steps ahead, not simply in the game of chess, but in every human interaction. Imagine a person who could anticipate what you would say before you said it, who could see a punch before it was thrown. Imagine a secret that could make all of this possible. Albert, a Princeton mathematics professor, is such a person, and as he is thrust into a murder and burglary investigation on campus he finds that the secret is buried in an obscure cipher. The discovery leads Albert to team up with an aging mentor, a curious graduate assistant, and an unusual “book club” on a frantic chase across the country to recover the secret and clear his name. Through this adventure, he rediscovers a woman from his past and is forced to confront his own understanding of love, rationality, power, and the limits of the human mind. The #1 Bestseller and BookLife Editor’s Pick “The Tree of Knowledge is a dynamite read... reminiscent of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code but smarter, sharper... A thrill ride with no seatbelt but what an incredible view.”—Junot Díaz, New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize
If you enjoy The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, The Extinction Trials by A.G. Riddle, Upgrade by Blake Crouch, or the Omega Factor by Steve Berry you will love this fast-paced adventure thriller.
Read what everyone is saying about The Tree of Knowledge
"I just finished this trilogy, and while I’m not much into writing reviews, this time I must. I was enthralled and terrified all at the same time, because the times we are living in could well be a harbinger of this trilogy becoming historical fact in the not too distant future. It is an excellent read, believable characters (no super heroes), frighteningly plausible story, and almost impossible to put down. Read it!"
⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐-Festival Ted
"Don't just take my word for it; read it, all three parts of it, the 3 books. The parallels to some current day events are as chilling, and as important as Orwell's prescient works. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -Kindle Customer
"A great fun romp. A rollicking story with great puzzles and great villains. Can't wait for the next chapter in this saga." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -Mitch Smith
"A thrilling adventure in the vein of the DaVinci code or the National Treasure movies, this book mixes action, mystery, and quite a touch of nerdiness to make a fast-paced, and intriguing, read." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -John Corso III
"I absolutely loved this book and the series as a whole. Definitely recommend!." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -Michael Pego

A Stellar trilogy
The diverse characters, nonstop action, and intricately woven storyline make this trilogy a true masterpiece. The author definitely knows his stuff about math, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The characters are well developed and intriguing, and I literally couldn’t put it down. I hope to read more from this author in the future for sure.

I really liked the structure of this story! The premise revolves around a logical construct (called The Tree) which is based on the Biblical story of good and evil, and the original sin. It’s very clever. And if you know the Bible there are TONS of embedded references in the characters and the overall story line. Several parallel plots, too. I’m very interested to see how the author evolves the concept in books 2 & 3…

Definitely read this!
Definitely one of my new favorites. From start to finish I was entranced. Love the whole ide, even though we studied this in 2nd year of computer science I never really thought about using it in everyday life or at least for big decisions. Anyway, the characters, the plot, really everything about this series was brilliant.

Fascinating
Interesting concept, fascinating development in the story, and interesting, some scary, characters. Don't want to do spoilers, but can you use logic to foresee and plan out everything, or do our emotions actually cause many of the acts we do. Read the combined novels.
