A mind-blowing new thriller from the NY Times best-selling author of Wired.

Omar Haddad is a brutal jihadist in Syria who appears to be invulnerable and capable of supernatural feats. But is Haddad divine, as he claims? Is he a gifted magician? Or is he making use of a stunning scientific breakthrough? And what, exactly, is keeping him from unleashing the global apocalypse he’s so eager to bring about? Brennan Craft, a quirky quantum physics genius, has the answers, and the US military is desperate to capture him. But when Craft risks everything to recruit a Black Ops researcher named Alyssa Aronson, it becomes clear he's playing a treacherous game of his own.

Hunted by both the military and Haddad, Craft and Alyssa race to find a way to keep the unstoppable jihadist in check. But there may not be any way. And Alyssa soon fears that Craft is becoming an even bigger threat to the world than Omar Haddad... Quantum Lens is a smart, roller-coaster-ride of a thriller, packed with intriguing ideas that listeners will be contemplating long after they've heard the last minute.

Interesting

This book is proof of time travel even though it’s not about time travel. Unlike most sci-fi tech books that seem dated before they even come out, this book is decades ahead of its time in terms of mainstream science literature. Plus there are no clunky pop culture or other references that date a book before you read it.

The main characters are compelling, the science is phenomenal, and you’re grabbed in the first few pages. And if you’re like me, you will struggle not to finish it in a few settings.

Amazing read!

Written 50 years ahead of it’s time.

Not thrilled with the writing style. The narrator intruded into the story, too much "off camera summary'" but otherwise fun and thought provoking.

Interesting premise

I always appreciate the merge of science and a good thriller. This one is well written and thoroughly enjoyable. I removed one star, only because there was a little more wrap up at the end than I thought was necessary.

Great blend of reality and fiction

If you love a good thriller backed by awesome science this is the book for you.

Amazingly good book!

Good science but predictable towards the end. Kinda fun but more like a superhero read than a spine thriller.

Fun but not exactly surprising

There is some good science in this story about some high levels of quantum mechanics. However, as the author points out, there are many liberties taken with human controls over quantum mechanics. Very interesting concepts about the power of the human mind and the God Theory. Very fun and fast pace thriller.

Interesting Sci-Fi with a Dose of Real Science
