Tyson Klein, a brilliant physicist at CERN, discovers a groundbreaking pattern among the subatomic particles in the Large Hadron Collider, which turns out to be a data stream transmitted from a quantum radio outside of space and time. Hard on the heels of presenting his discovery, there’s an explosion in Ty’s apartment, and he flees to his family for help. Ultimately, he’s seized by DARPA, who translate his cryptic data and consequently initiate a race against the clock to locate the central players involved in the mind-boggling mayhem that ensues. The expert multiverse manipulation morphs into an enthralling alternate history that is both immersive and intelligent. This is a long book with quick chapters that cover an impressive amount of ground. It’s as much about solving the universe’s biggest mysteries as it is about families and friends finding their way back to each other. While remarkable all on its own, the enticing ending suggests that the series will get even better from here.
VERDICT Eclectic author Riddle (Lost in Time) combines science and history to create a riveting thriller.
