The six have barely begun running tests on the cylinder, when they suddenly disappear telling family members not to go looking for them. But word about the discovery has gotten out and for these six civilians, it might already be too late. Mossad, the Israeli national intelligence agency, has been instructed to recover the mysteriously powerful object at any cost even if that means eliminating the scientists. Hot on Mossad’s trail is the CIA, determined to chase down the fugitives first, no matter the consequences. As the noose tightens, the six scramble to figure out the what the cylinder is and who built it ultimately revealing a dramatic truth that could change the world forever. A fast-paced, globe-trotting thriller that asks the reader to consider the earth’s very origins, Quantum is the first novel in a three-book series. The novel ranked first on Amazon.it in 2013 in the 100 best selling ebook category.

Reviews for QUANTUM

[kengentry707 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Cheesy. About 2% science fiction, 98% bumbling spies. Language is weak, audio engineering is very inconsistent. The xylophone solos are awesome ?

The full cast audiobook is amazing! It is one of those rare novels that you will find impossible to stop listening. The plot is intriguing from the beginning baked up with science and history: it brings the listener to some interesting philosophical questions. A smart mystery with many surprising and unexpected turns along the way that has me eagerly awaiting for the second installment. I listened at this in nearly two evenings. I loved the narrator as well as the all-stars cast and the sound effects. It has been like watching a movie without the visual. You are totally submerged into the experience. Fascinating. I highly recommend listening!

Excellent science fiction from an Italian author; wonderful translation, reads as if written by an American English speaker, Anthony Shugaar translator. Science Fiction with an obvious moral twist, but not pedantic or preachy. A wild tale of discovery of probe that reveals the true nature of all of mankind, the extraordinary lengths that the establishment is willing to go to prevent the publication of the knowledge gained from the probe, and the cover up that ultimately prevents dissemination of the knowledge (or not). Like all good sci-fi there's room for the sequel. If you can get a copy of this, it will be worth your time.

Quantum: The Trilogy Begins (Quantum Trilogy Book 1) by Dean de Servienti is a book I was allowed to read from NetGalley and book publishers but as I read it, I decided I had to buy it, so I did. I have a no re-read policy, but I will break this policy for only the best books and I decided this is one of those books. This is why I bought the book, I will be re-reading this again down the road, probably before this is a movie because it really should be. I cannot see this NOT be a movie! It has so much intrigue, action, this is not about just an archeological find, but one like no other! This book was outstanding and riveting to the end! The plot, characters, and action were tremendous. The whole premise is a thrilling adventure and suspense made for a wild ride of a book, totally awesome! Can't wait for the next book!
