FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LOST IN TIME
Quantum Physicist Tyson Klein has spent twelve years on the trail of the Theory of Everything.
And he might just have found it.
Buried in the data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful scientific instrument, he’s found traces of exotic subatomic particles.
Not only do the particles seem to have come from outside our universe, they also appear to be carrying a signal.
Deciphering this message sent across space and time could give Ty the key to everything – why the universe
exists, what humanity’s role within it is.
But only if he lives long enough, because someone or something will do anything to prevent Ty from unravelling what is being broadcast by the quantum radio...
Stargate Meets The One. There really is a lot to love about this book, and the fact that it has elements of two scifi movies that I personally love (one which became a cult classic, the other of which has largely been forgotten) was more icing on the cake and something I could use in this review to give an idea of the scope of this book without actually revealing any spoilers. If you like either of the IPs I listed in the title here, you're likely going to enjoy this more hard-scifi (ish) take on them, where Riddle manages to ground them at least somewhat more in actual reality... and yet still tell an intruging tale of family, secrets, and how far a person will go within the scope of what he has set up. Truly an excellent setup here, and apparently even Riddle himself doesn't yet know how long he'll take this series - but I for one can't wait to see where he takes it next. Will it be a Stargate type? Quantum Leap type? Something truly novel and groundbreaking? Riddle's talent as a storyteller - shown well in this very book - alone says the next book will be good. I challenge him to make it truly, truly *great*. Very much recommended.
