Resumen del Editor

A mind-blowing new thriller from the NY Times best-selling author of Wired.

Omar Haddad is a brutal jihadist in Syria who appears to be invulnerable and capable of supernatural feats. But is Haddad divine, as he claims? Is he a gifted magician? Or is he making use of a stunning scientific breakthrough? And what, exactly, is keeping him from unleashing the global apocalypse he’s so eager to bring about? Brennan Craft, a quirky quantum physics genius, has the answers, and the US military is desperate to capture him. But when Craft risks everything to recruit a Black Ops researcher named Alyssa Aronson, it becomes clear he's playing a treacherous game of his own.

Hunted by both the military and Haddad, Craft and Alyssa race to find a way to keep the unstoppable jihadist in check. But there may not be any way. And Alyssa soon fears that Craft is becoming an even bigger threat to the world than Omar Haddad... Quantum Lens is a smart, roller-coaster-ride of a thriller, packed with intriguing ideas that listeners will be contemplating long after they've heard the last minute.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Richards is a worthy successor to Michael Crichton.” (SF Book.com)

Very Interesting Concept

One of the best books I've ever listened to. The ideas and concepts in the books left me thinking and wanting more!

Good read

Story telling and education wrapped together. You learn as the story unfolds. It made me realize how much about energy I truly don't understand

Interesting

Really enjoyed it. Good almost Michael Crichton like. Fast paced good concept. It went fast and kept me in it.

Written 50 years ahead of it’s time.

This book is proof of time travel even though it’s not about time travel. Unlike most sci-fi tech books that seem dated before they even come out, this book is decades ahead of its time in terms of mainstream science literature. Plus there are no clunky pop culture or other references that date a book before you read it.

The main characters are compelling, the science is phenomenal, and you’re grabbed in the first few pages. And if you’re like me, you will struggle not to finish it in a few settings.

Amazing read!

Interesting premise

Not thrilled with the writing style. The narrator intruded into the story, too much "off camera summary'" but otherwise fun and thought provoking.

Great blend of reality and fiction

I always appreciate the merge of science and a good thriller. This one is well written and thoroughly enjoyable. I removed one star, only because there was a little more wrap up at the end than I thought was necessary.

Amazingly good book!

If you love a good thriller backed by awesome science this is the book for you.

Fun but not exactly surprising

Good science but predictable towards the end. Kinda fun but more like a superhero read than a spine thriller.

Interesting Sci-Fi with a Dose of Real Science

There is some good science in this story about some high levels of quantum mechanics. However, as the author points out, there are many liberties taken with human controls over quantum mechanics. Very interesting concepts about the power of the human mind and the God Theory. Very fun and fast pace thriller.

Awesome book, vey well done

story and narration were great and very concise.
I enjoyed every minute of it.
I'll look forward to more books by Doug.
