Quantum Radio

Equal parts science fiction, political thriller, and alternative history, Riddle’s (Lost in Time) latest is a fast-paced adventure centered on the discovery of a pattern found among subatomic particles—a discovery that could change the course of history. Tyson Klein is a physicist at CERN who discovers the pattern in the Large Hadron Collider. What he doesn’t expect is to become a key player in a race against the clock as the U.S. government attempts to beat a shadowy organization in translating the “quantum radio’s” enigmatic message. Narrator Ray Porter expertly personifies the novel’s host of international characters with unique and distinct accents for each; this attention to detail further enlivens this expansive tale. Porter’s not shy about flexing his range as an actor to compel listeners even deeper into the twists and turns of the story. Those looking for Jason Bourne with a touch of Michael Crichton will find much to love in this intelligent and gripping series starter.
