Three Days to Never is a 2006 fantasy novel by Tim Powers. As with many Powers novels, it proposes a secret history in which real events have supernatural causes and that prominent historical figures had actually been involved in supernatural or occult activities.
Real people, events, and organizations figuring in the novel include:
- Albert Einstein - Discovered and then surpressed a new occult technology that forces in 1987 seek to rediscover and exploit.
- Charlie Chaplin - Was aware of Einstein's discoveries and built a machine to harness the effect.
- Operation Opera - The novel posits that the 1981 Israeli air strike against the Iraqi Osirak nuclear reactor was also performed to stop the Iraqis from developing the technology that Einstein discovered and surpressed.
- The Harmonic convergence - The 1987 event forms the backdrop for the story's narrative.
- Mossad - The Israeli intelligence agency features prominently in the novel.
- A Woman of the Sea - an unreleased film produced by Chaplin
- Remote Viewing spy training program employed by the US military and CIA in the 1970s and 80s.[1] - Used to train the psychic spy in the novel.
