Publisher's summary

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LOST IN TIME

At CERN, a scientist has just made an incredible discovery—a breakthrough that may answer the deepest questions about human existence.

But what he's found is far more dangerous than he ever imagined.

Dr. Tyson Klein is a quantum physicist who has dedicated his entire life to his research. At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio.

Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely?

As Ty peels back the layers of his discovery, he learns that what he's found isn't what he thought it was. The encoded message is far more profound. It may alter our understanding of human existence and the universe.

But Ty is not the only one looking for it. Someone has been following his research for a long time. And they'll do anything to prevent him from unravelling what is being broadcast by the quantum radio...

Because the first one to discover the truth may well control the future.

Awesome

A.G. has done it again!!! I'm already excited to see what comes next. It started a little slow for me but it picked up quickly and never stopped. The entire plot was mind blowing and I love the 4 main characters.

Another smooth ride thru Alt-reality from Riddle

If your search history includes questions about CERN and the LHC, this is the book for you! Riddle slaps again with a story set in today's real world, and takes the characters into the next decade or so with applied physics and the unknown possibilities of quantum theory.

There are many memorable moments, but my favorite is walking through the world war II timeline at the National Mall. There are key moments over that decade that appeared to steer the outcome of the war. I didn't know the origin of DARPA until reading the explanation in this book.

The narrator does very well to immerse the listener into the story with six or seven different tones and accents whole reading the novel. The characters experience a broad range of emotions, and it's hard to imagine those emotions and feelings without additional context not conveyed in the words on the pages.

For instance, Nora and Maria could be perceived to be condescending and combative when speaking, but we hear fear and apprehension. Also, there are many instances of narration where the explanation is provided from characters who are experts in their fields, and thus speak as an educator would.

interesting story

I consume a lot (too much) science fiction and have never heard of this particular author, but decided to purchase because of other books read by the narrator. Ultimately, I really liked it. I disagree with negative reviews about failing to deliver pace in the middle. Story building is essential and I felt like the flow was perfect for this genre. Well done. I will continue to purchase books in this series and plan to look into other books written by the author.

Hoping for a Sequel

Another great adventure from A.G. Riddle. Hoping for a sequel to continue the story and further develop the complexities of the plot.

Excellent!

A bit of a Sliders/Quantum Leap Mashup in many ways but it works!
Ray Porter is exceptional as always.

great read

loved it and Ray Porter is the best!! Really enjoying being read to! its a real treat.

Great Listen

This was my first book from AG Riddle and I loved it! Great story that kept me wanting to listen and engaged. Characters were believable and I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out!!!!

Pretty clever, great concept.

The backbone is solid and I’m looking forward to the next book. Interesting idea and a clever way to explore.

Should’ve listened to the bad reviews

Found this book because of Ray Porter (narrator), and read the intro because I like the genre. It looked promising but had very mixed reviews, but I decided to give it a go. The first 2 hours were very intriguing, but from there it went downhill for me. A lot of plot holes, boring story and not enough science in the fiction..

Fascinating story

Very interesting, but had a few places I thought were not consistent. Only a few. Overall, gripping saga of good against evil. Reads like a thriller at times, sci-fi at others, love story here and there. Enjoy the ride.
