In 1983, brilliant Unalco researcher Dr. Lawrence Bingham and his wife are murdered, and Bingham’s greatest invention — a mysterious quantum device known as the Gold Box — vanishes.
Years later, young materials engineer Hank Raglan is drawn into the unfinished work of the dead scientist, unaware that the Gold Box has made him the target of powerful men who will stop at nothing to control it.
As Hank rises through Unalco under the mentorship of CEO Tony Laporte, his childhood friend Caroline Friday reopens the Bingham murder case through an Innocence Institute project. Her investigation uncovers Mafia ties, government secrets, strange UFO reports, and a conspiracy reaching far beyond one unsolved crime.
Before Call of the Minotaur, there was The Midas Protocol— the story of the Gold Box, the murder that started it all, and the first step in Hank Raglan’s journey into the hidden machinery of the Universe.
