The Rule of Four, Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason
The 'Hypnerotomachia Poliphi' is a renaissance book which has been written in seven different languages, including Egyptian hieroglyphics, Greek and Arabic.
It is encrypted with a secret code that many gifted scholars have tried to decipher for the last 500 years. Some have become obsessed with its contents, but is takes two talented university students to unlock its mystery, which their jealous tutors will do anything to find out. Very entertaining.
