A compulsive gambler plagued by crippling epileptic seizures, he spends his nights trolling Manhattan’s underground poker clubs. Able to calculate the odds of any hand in the blink of an eye, Caine wins more than he loses, until the night he makes a costly miscalculation —and suffers his most intense seizure ever.

Desperate to regain control of his life, he agrees to test an experimental medicine. But the drug has unexpected —and unnerving—side effects: inexplicable visions of the past, present and future. Unsure whether he’s perceiving an alternate reality or suffering a psychotic break, Caine embarks on a journey that stretches beyond the possible into the world of… the IMPROBABLE.

Gradually, he discovers the extent of his astonishing ability—the power to foresee the consequences of his actions and the probability of various outcomes—as well as its limitations. But he’s not the only one who knows his secret. And now powerful forces want him for their own. With the help of a rogue female CIA assassin, Caine must fight for his survival—and his sanity.

In the tradition of The Rule of Four and The Da Vinci Code, IMPROBABLE’s brilliantly accessible prose weaves an action-packed, fast-paced plot with dynamic characters and straightforward explanations of historical and modern theories of mathematics, probability, quantum physics and psychology.
