Description

"This knotty thriller is all the more absorbing because of narrator Will Damron, who captures the quirkiness and humor of its brilliant protagonist, Dr. Lucas Page...This fast-paced fiction will absorb the listener." — AudioFile Magazine

A series of deadly explosions rock the city of New York and with too many victims and no known motive, the F.B.I. turns once again to Dr. Lucas Page in Robert Pobi's Under Pressure.

On a beautiful October evening, New York City's iconic Guggenheim Museum is closed for a tech company's private gala. Until an explosion rocks the night, instantly killing 702 people, including every single attendee—yet the damage to the building itself was minimal.
An explosion of that precision was no accident and, in response, the FBI mobilizes its entire team — but the sheer number of victims strains their resources. Were all 702 victims in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was there only one target and 701 unlucky bystanders? That many victim files is a staggering amount of data to sort through and Brett Kehoe, Special Agent in Charge of Manhattan, decides that he can't do this without more computational power.
Dr. Lucas Page, astrophysicist, university professor, and former FBI agent, is uniquely gifted for the task at hand—he can visualize a crime scene as if he was a bystander and can break down any set of data at a glance. Even though Page wants nothing to do with the FBI, with his city under attack and his family at risk, he steps in to find a killer in a haystack before they strike again.
A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books
"Robert Pobi's second thriller featuring the mathematician-astrophysicist Dr. Lucas Page, starts with a big bang....Each of the characters in Mr. Pobi's complexly plotted book is skillfully drawn, but Lucas Page is one of a kind" — Wall Street Journal

      • content: This knotty thriller is all the more absorbing because of narrator Will Damron, who captures the quirkiness and humor of its brilliant protagonist, Dr. Lucas Page. An astrophysicist who helps the FBI on unsolvable cases, Lucas has to uncover the mastermind and motive behind multiple seemingly unconnected explosions before more people die. He himself comes close to death--and in a previous novel lost multiple body parts--though it doesn't seem to slow him down. Working with agents who recognize his abilities, Lucas still flouts every rule to find and trap the "machine bomber," as he's tagged. That he accomplishes both is no surprise, though the motive is.

        Starred review from June 22, 2020
        In Pobi’s stellar sequel to 2019’s City of Windows, astrophysicist, bestselling author, and former FBI agent Lucas Page, who was severely injured in an accident years earlier and now has a prosthetic arm and leg, reluctantly returns to duty after a thermobaric bomb explodes in Manhattan’s Guggenheim Museum during a private gala, killing more than 700 people with little damage to the building. The alleged bomber sends a manifesto of sorts to news outlets calling for immediate revolution and a rejection of technology. As the bombings continue—and the body count rises—Page uses his unique way of looking at the world in geometric terms to find connections among the targeted sites and victims. Page stands out as a highly unusual lead in a crowded genre, and Pobi combines a razor sharp sense of humor with surgical use of political and social commentary throughout. This is a must for fans of sophisticated crime fiction. Agent: Jill Marr, Sandra Dijkstra Literary.
