Resumen del Editor

The stunning, critically-acclaimed follow-up to best-selling The Quantum Magician

The Ultimate Chase

Days ago, Belisarius pulled off the most audacious con job in history. He's rich, he's back with the love of his life, and best of all, he has the Time Gates, arguably the most valuable things in existence. Nothing could spoil this...except the utter destruction of his people and the world they lived on.

To save them, he has to make a new deal with the boss he just double-crossed, to travel back in time and work his quantum magic once again, tracking down the source of the wormholes.

If he can avoid detection, dodge paradox, and stay ahead of the eerie, relentless Scarecrow, he might just get back to his own time alive.

Piss on every leg. Bite every hand.

I absolutely loved the first book in this series, and was worried that the second book would not be as good. Fortunately, the second book holds its own well. It was a very enjoyable read. This book doesn't have the caper element of the first, but deals more with the fall out and ramifications of the first story. Belisarius is back, with a few of the characters from the first book. His goal now, protect the rest of the Homo Quantis now that everyone sees what they are capable of. Some of my favorite supporting characters are also back, Saint Matthew the AI, and Stills, the Mongrel pilot. Excellent, entertaining, and enjoyable read!

A worthy sequel to Quantum Magician!

Builds all important characters and weaves an incredible story in an epic time-travel tale. Can't wait for the next one.

Science Poetry

Derek Kunsken has become one of my favorite authors. While it took a while to appreciate the first book, by the time I found out about a second in the series I knew I had to have it.
This is deep science, and immersive science fiction, written in a beautiful, poetic style and rendered in perfect cadence by T.Ryder Smith. The end result can only be described as Science Poetry. The characters, story, and environment are all exotic yet believable.
I find myself really *listening* to this book - something I haven't really done in a long while. I also find it difficult to find something to listen to after this.

great story, fun continuation of the first

I love the world building setup by the first and followed through with this one.
My only complaint is in the editing of the reading, you can hear some page turning and gulping from the narrator which was sorta distracting, but his voices are still top notch.

Buy it. Buy it right now.

Fastastic follow-up to the first book! Highly recommend and can't wait for the story to continue.

great SF

My cynical self expected the second book in this series to be a rinse-and-repeat plot with few (or no) new science fiction elements. Happily, my cynical self was wrong in all respects. This is another great novel, filled with thought-provoking ideas and clever plot elements.

In one respect I felt it improved on the first: the harsh Mongrel character. Yes, his language is bad -- perhaps even worse than in the first novel -- but the humor is more tuned and much better. I truly laughed out loud at several points in this book.

In summary, the excellence continues in book two.

It's interesting

The science in this story is quite exciting and refreshing. I want to know more, and I think I'd continue to book three right now.

Wow. What a world Kunsken creates and the sci-fi concepts are well constructed

Audible reviews are come in two forms: 1. I wish I could forget it and reread it again it’s so good 2. I was so bored, it never took off, the narrator stinks, the characters are undeveloped…

This is usually what you alternate back and forth between for the same book until you realize you going to trust one of the reviews and go for it.

TRUST ME. This book is about future versions of our species and space faring nations and alliances and really cool discussions of worm holes and quantum mechanics.

USE A CREDIT AND ENJOY.

Sci-fi on Another Level

Prepare to be blown away. These books redefine what sci-fi can be. The depth of story telling and thought are simply 10 times better than they need to be. And T. Ryder Smith??? He has redefined story telling. I would follow him to the ends of the earth. I have my favorite narrators and he is so far beyond the best it’s scary. I thought the best of sci-fi was over and these books have set a new bar.

These books are so good and so deep that they you will want to listen over and over again. This was a first for me. I immediately listened to the first book a second time to absorb so much more meaning. They are fast paced, detailed, freaky, deep, layered, mysterious, and enthralling.

Be prepared to be blown away and quickly left behind. They will push you to the brink of understanding on many levels. Not for the faint of IQ... Good luck...

Intriguing

I enjoyed the first book and the second book was almost better. I liked hearing his quantum intellect take over and how raw information came into understanding. I look forward to other books in this series.
