Publisher's summary
Schrodinger's Gat is a quantum physics noir thriller. Paul Bayes has begun to feel like all of his actions are dictated by forces beyond his control. But when his suicide attempt is foiled by a mysterious young woman named Tali, Paul begins to wonder if the future is really as bleak as it seems. Tali possesses a strange power: the ability to predict tragedies and prevent them from happening. The possibility of breaking free from the grip of fate gives Paul hope. But when Tali disappears, Paul begins to realize that altering the future isn't as easy as it seems: you can fight the future, but the future fights back.

But to retired cop Benjamin Stone, who has come to Sunnyview to find his estranged daughter, Jessica, the promise of Sunnyview rings hollow. Benjamin grew up in Sunnyview in the 1950s, when it was a sleepy farming town, and he finds its modern day counterpart strange and weirdly insubstantial. After Jessica turns up dead in a creek bed, apparently murdered, Benjamin follows clues that suggest a conspiracy involving a startup company.

In the 23rd century, humanity has been hunted to the verge of extinction by an alien race. When an exploratory ship accidentally travels back in time to Viking-age Scandinavia, the human race is given a second chance. Pursued by the power-hungry King Harald, the four surviving crew members join a ragtag band of Vikings as they pillage their way across Europe.

When a spaceship landed in an open field in the quiet mill town of Sorrow Falls, Massachusetts, everyone realized humankind was not alone in the universe. With that realization everyone freaked out for a little while. Or almost everyone. The residents of Sorrow Falls took the news pretty well. This could have been due to a certain local quality of unflappability, or it could have been that in three years the ship did exactly nothing other than sit quietly in that field, and nobody understood the full extent of this nothing the ship was doing better than the people who lived right next door.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Boy, was I surprised!
As the protagonist Paul Bayes discovered when reading Fate and Conscientiousness by Dr. Heller, he said, “a lot of it I don’t follow”. I’ve come across karma, dualism, precognition, fate, and other oddities referenced in prior books so perhaps I understand them a bit better now. Maybe. The tale is interesting if you can stick with it. It is definitely not my cup of tea though. I was thinking it was totally something else. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

its sciency
I recieved this book free of charge for an honest review. anything to do with quantum physics tends to be cool in some way. the main character was dumber down so the average listener can fallow along and be about as informed as he is. I like the admission that the book isn't written by a scientist but by someone that did some research and built a story around it. though I was waiting the whole book to find out what a gat was I the title which never came up.

Some weird quantum fun
I really enjoyed the characters in this book. The science is also fun. Reads like an old detective mystery too.

Mind-bender - - my head hurts after this one!
I received this from the narrator, Curt Bonne, in exchange for an honest review, courtesy of Audiobook Boom.
Wow, what a mind-bending story based on quantum physics! Don't think about this one too hard, and it is enjoyable, but with all of the explanations of light particles/waves (light is AND isn't both), free will and fate (both exist - at the same time), and a cat alive and dead (at the same time), it is a challenge to read/listen to.
The narration was pretty good, but in some instances, I wasn't sure who was talking. This may have been because I was trying to grasp the concepts and losing track of the story.

Half story, half pseudo science textbook
It started out as a great book, but as it went on it started to lose my interest. All that therein no free will over and over again was getting on my nerves. Also the musings on the universe and quantum physics were cool at the beginning, but after a while they went on and on that some time I had to go back to remember where in the real story it left off before the science interlude. I didn't see it mentioned in other reviews, but I'm pretty sure that there is a part missing between part 5 and 6. I mean, he was driving to the event and musing, next instant he was arriving home after being to the event and musing some more. That part was particularly confusing to follow fora while. The narration was great and did an excellent job expressing the story. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A mystery with an educational twist
If you can resist the urge to fast-forward through the quantum physics educational lessons that are strewn throughout this listen, you will be rewarded with one heck of an interesting mystery.
The search for Tali and why she was abducted is the core storyline. The searcher, Paul, is a bit of a loser but his want to learn the why and how of things and to find Tali was his effort at redemption. Along the way, bad things happen.
There were some head-scratching moments (which had nothing to do with quantum physics) which made it harder to connect with Paul. Spoiler: How do you set off a bomb in a mall and kill people and not have any real remorse?. And in what universe does an unemployed teacher have the funds to get of jail on bond after a mass killing?.
I digress.
The narrator was a good choice. The main character was slightly dispassionate and the narrator delivered on that.
I liked this listen and learned a bit along the way. The story had some moral issues for me though. That kept it from being a great listen.

P.H.D expand your universe
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. I am glad that I took the time. This book was presented well by Curt Bonnem but the real star was the science as presented by Robert Kroese . It really was a work out for the grey stuff. Thanks!

Very Different from the Kroese's other work.
I've read a fair bit of Robert Kroese's work but this was the first of his I listened instead of read. It is very different from his Land of Dis and Rex Nihilo series'; both of which you should check out, along with his Iron Dragon trilogy. Overall it's a fairly good thriller that will keep you entertained and definitely guessing until the end. The main character does kinda make you want to smack him from time to time but you are rooting for him in the end. The narrator is very good and has a clear voice. His voicings of the characters of the novel help hold your interest and make the performance feel almost like an old time radio drama. However, the real jewel to the book is Kroese's ability to explain probability and theoretical physics so that a layman can understand them. The only other writer who does it with this level of clarity and understanding is Neal Stephenson.
Definitely recommend this book.
