Quantum Curators Series, Book 2

De: Eva St. John

Narrado por: Lucy Rayner, Alex Wyndham

That belongs in a museum!

Julius Strathclyde has been dragged through to an alternative earth. Now, training as a quantum curator, every ancient book, every stolen gem, and every lost masterpiece lies at his fingertips. It's incredible.

But he has some problems: he can't get home, priceless artifacts are being stolen, and someone is trying to kill him. Oh, and he can't get a decent cup of tea anywhere.

Following the disastrous Faberge assignment, Neith Salah is blinded by grief and rage. She's hardly a stable companion, but she's the only one he trusts. From the Titanic to the Blitz and through Medieval France, they race to save treasures and their own skins.

As their unknown enemies draw closer, can they stay alive and reveal who is behind the looting of the museum?

Funny and special!

Quantum Curators of Alpha Earth save art and artifacts from parallel Beta Earth - our Earth - just before they get destroyed or lost or burned. Julius, meticulous historian, a Beta Earther, was dragged along to Alpha Earth at the closing of the first novel. QC Neith Salah retrieved a Fabergé egg. Now Julius is a Quantum Curator trainee himself. Paired up with Neith, he has to solve the riddle of artifacts stolen from the Museion of Alexandria (Alpha's Library there was never burned down), clearly an inside job. But who can they trust? The novel and recording lives from the two strong viewpoints of Neith and Julius, the hard-boiled senior QC and the rookie, performed by two different actors. How I love their perfect britisch voices, how well suited they are for these two chatacters! The books make for an enjoyable listen, and I'm looking forward to the third one in the series - Eva St.John hooks the reader at the end of each novel with a huge cliffhanger, salivating for more.

Convoluted plot

2 Earths? And one rescuing (taking) from Earth beta just seconds before the item is destroyed on Earth beta? And Earth beta is us with Earth alpha being similar. But Earth alpha has never produced these masterpieces.

These masterpieces are stored in the great library, where individuals can check out copies to examine. But exclusivity leads to the urge to have the original and the minds to figure out how. An excellent plot as an Earther beta transported to Earth beta starts looking at inconsistent data that Earth alphas simply cannot sees.

An interesting sci-fi story with a conspiracy. Definitely a great listen! I’m about to follow this author.

Fun and engaging

This book leaves us wanting to know more about this world. There were surprises throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
