El joven Joseph deja Inglaterra en 1936 y viaja a Alemania, el país donde nació y del que le sacó, en la Primera Guerra Mundial, un soldado inglés lleno de buenas intenciones. La Universidad de Berlín, donde estudiará matemáticas, le sumerge en la realidad política de su nueva patria, arrastrándole hacia una espiral que acabará colocando un brazalete con la cruz gamada en su brazo.Varsovia, 1939. Tras la invasión nazi y en el expolio de una biblioteca científica, Joseph encuentra los llamados papeles de Newton, estudios de alquimia del sabio inglés subastados en la sede de Sotheby´s, en Londres, unos años antes. Estos documentos harán creer a Himmler que conseguirán transformar plomo en oro puro, en infinitas cantidades de oro para el III Reich. Y en un laboratorio de Berlín empieza la aventura que culminará en abril de 1945, en el lago Plauer, al norte de una Alemania ya derrotada.Joaquín Collantes y Antonio Pérez nos ofrecen un mosaico en el que encajan aventuras, intriga, pasión, arte y matemáticas en un periodo histórico en el que la locura de la guerra arrastró a Europa a su destrucción. La novela es un apasionante juego de pistas ocultas, acertijos, alquimia y problemas matemáticos que serán la clave para desvelar el misterio del oro de Newton... sesenta y cinco años después. 10
