If there was a secret to riches, would you share it?David Dypsvik, a broke and depressed MBA student, is given a secret assignment by his university professor. Forty years earlier, in the 1970s, one of the world’s richest men vanished from the face of the Earth. The billionaire had just completed a lecture series called The Principles of Wealth at Oxford University. The question is: Did he share … Did he share something he shouldn’t have shared in that last lecture? And what really happened the day he disappeared?
The last Alchemist will take you on a journey through the history of wealth-creation and ancient mysteries. We follow a reluctant hero, a wanna-get-rich-quick MBA student, in his relentless pursuit of the missing billionaire and the secret to riches.
But nothing could have prepared David Dypsvik for what he is about to face.
Nobody is who they claim to be, and the stakes can be high when the prize is an abundance of riches.
Or perhaps something else entirely…
THE LAST ALCHEMIST is a page turner of a mystery thriller in the blockbuster tradition of The Atlantis Gene and The Da Vinci Code. It melds together historical and scientific details with conspiracy theories that will stay with you long after you finish.

Couldn’t put it down. Great read!!!
Alchemy has some very interesting history. With a chemist for a daughter, I learned a lot from her during undergraduate school. This action/adventure with the high level geopolitical position of Gold works well even for a non scientific or business school background.
Slow beginning but gets better learned something about gold I did not know, where it comes from.
I really enjoyed this book. It was entertaining, especially after I got past the first few chapters, with their over-use of the characters’ full names. It’s a good weekend read.
Absolutely loved it. Can’t wait to read more of his books!
hard to stay with the story
Very long winded and it took a long time to read because it didn’t hold my interest.
