The Quantum Magician (The Quantum Evolution Book 1)

“An audacious con job, scintillating future technology, and meditations on the nature of fractured humanity” - Yoon Ha Lee<br /> <br />“Technology changes us—even our bodies—in fundamental ways, and Kunsken handles this wonderfully” - Cixin Liu<br /> <br />THE ULTIMATE HEIST<br /><br />Belisarius is a Homo quantus, engineered with impossible insight. But his gift is also a curse—an uncontrollable, even suicidal drive to know, to understand. Genetically flawed, he leaves his people to find a different life, and ends up becoming<br />the galaxy’s greatest con man and thief. <br /><br />But the jobs are getting too easy and his extraordinary brain is chafing at the neglect. When a client offers him untold wealth to move a squadron of secret warships across an enemy wormhole, Belisarius jumps at it. Now he must embrace his true nature to pull off the job, alongside a crew of extraordinary men and women.<br /><br />If he succeeds, he could trigger an interstellar war… or the next step in human evolution.
