A quantum physicist shocks the world with a startling experiment, igniting a struggle between science and theology, free will and fate, and antagonizing forces not known to exist.
Eric Argus is a washout. His prodigious early work clouded his reputation and strained his sanity. But an old friend gives him another chance, an opportunity to step back into the light.
With three months to produce new research, Eric replicates the paradoxical double-slit experiment to see for himself the mysterious dual nature of light and matter. A simple but unprecedented inference blooms into a staggering discovery about human consciousness and the structure of the universe.
His findings are celebrated and condemned in equal measure, but no one can predict where the truth will lead. And as Eric seeks to understand the unfolding revelations, he must evade shadowy pursuers who believe he knows entirely too much already.

Very intriguing concept

The narrator sounded like Jack Webb. I think he even referenced Dragnet once. His voice sounded a little lifeless. Even a little hopeless. Like a sad story that he didn't want to discuss. Not sure I'll pick up another one by Kosmatka.

The novel does start out slow-when we are first introduced to Eric he is in despair and on the verge of suicide. Hang in there though until you are introduced to his discovery and the quantum concepts surrounding it. I took off one star from the overall rating, both for the slow start and also for some scenes not directly related to the plot that go too long (one example is what happens when Eric climbs into a industrial pipe to escape one of the bad guys).
Bonus points for the narrator. His voice reminds me of Zachary Quinto. It is deep and smooth and very easy on the ear.
Very compelling!
