Quantum Void

Written by Douglas Phillips

Narrated by Traci Odom

Eight months after the astounding discoveries made at Fermilab . . .

Particle physics was always an unlikely path to the stars, but with the discovery that space could be compressed, the entire galaxy had come within reach. The technology was astonishing, yet nothing compared to what humans encountered four thousand light-years from home. Now, with an invitation from a mysterious gatekeeper, the people of Earth must decide if they're ready to participate in the galactic conversation.

The world anxiously watches as a team of four katanauts suit up to visit an alien civilization. What they learn on a watery planet hundreds of light-years away could catapult human comprehension of the natural world to new heights. But one team member must overcome crippling fear to cope with an alien gift she barely understands.

Back at Fermilab, strange instabilities are beginning to show up in experiments, leading physicists to wonder if they ever really had control over the quantum dimensions of space.

Reviews for Quantum Void

[cpolk625 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

In Book 1 of the Quantum Series, Quantum Space, the ability compress space to small distances through quantum manipulation is used to discover an entity, “Core” located light-years away in deep space. Communication channels are opened with it resulting in an invitation to visit, through quantum means, an odd watery world, “Ixtlub”, many light-years distant.Marie Kendrick is chosen by an alien android to visit Ixtlub, but her visit is designed to give her a unique ability that confuses and frightens her. In the meantime, Fermilab is shaken by fourth dimensional tremors resulting in catastrophic damage. Is Core to blame for the tremors? Or is there a more rational explanation close to home? In any event, Fermilab physicist Nala Pasquier and a colleague find themselves caught between dimensions and their path out is totally unexpected.Quantum Void is the kind of far-fetched adventure every sci-fi reader loves. Anyone who likes a good, rousing edge of the seat romp through the unknown will like it as well.
