An evening with Matthew Reilly

Matthew Reilly will visit Newcastle for a special event on Wednesday 25 October at 7pm to speak about his new novel, the epic historical thriller Mr Einstein’s Secretary.

The event will be hosted by ABC Newcastle’s Dan Cox and will be held in the Brennan Room, Shortland Building, University of Newcastle, Callaghan. Drinks and snacks will be available to purchase at the venue. Tickets are $35. There will be a signing after the event and books will be for sale thanks to MacLean’s Booksellers.

Mr Einstein’s Secretary spans 40 years and centres on Hanna Fischer who dreams of studying physics under the great Albert Einstein. But as a teenager in 1919, her life is suddenly turned upside-down, and she is catapulted into a new and extraordinary life – as a secretary, scientist, sister, and spy. From racist gangs in Berlin to gangsters in New York City, Nazis in the 1930s and Hitler’s inner circle during World War II, Hanna encounters some of history’s greatest minds and most terrible moments, all while desperately trying to stay alive.

Thank you to University of Newcastle, Pan Macmillan, and Crystalbrook Kingsley for supporting this event.
