The Theory Of Nothing: A novel of high-brow science and low-life crime by Adam Walker.. Professor Simon Hershy likes the quiet life. He likes maths problems, crossword puzzles, early nights and cups of tea. What he doesn't like are wise-cracking maniacs holding him hostage, being forced to break encryption at gun point, running from psychopaths intent on killing him and beer spiked with God knows what.
In fact, ever since Joseph Nothing and his mysterious flash drive forced their way into Simon's life, things have gone from bad to worse.
Can Joseph keep them one step ahead of whoever is trying to kill them?
Can Simon crack the code and find out what the hell's on that drive?
Will Joseph be able to put up with Simon's constant whining without killing the professor himself?
Will Simon ever get his cup of tea?
