TUNC (THE REVOLT OF APHRODITE #1)

TUNC: A Novel (The Revolt of Aphrodite #1) '-' A scientist discovers that his famous invention leads to a dangerous outcome: Felix Charlock's scientific genius is unrivaled--and so is his very special invention. So special, in fact, that a shadowy and enigmatic international firm, called Merlin, recruits Felix and marries him into the family. He is betrothed to the erratic Merlin heiress, Benedicta, and given access to an inexhaustible fortune. Yet he longs to be free of the psychological and scientific toll the mysterious firm inflicts. The inscrutable Merlin is always one step ahead, and twists and turns ensue in this tale of sexual and moral intrigue that leaves Felix's future--and his sanity--on uncertain ground.The titles of the two novels which together are known as The Revolt of Aphrodite are taken from a Latin quotation familiar in translation - "It was then, or never". This fact is one which either you know or which you find out when you read the second, an action which generally makes Tunc rather clearer.====https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Revolt_of_Aphrodite
