A Dartmouth physicist's research into quantum interference and whether biological life can go "quantum" yields unexpected surprises in Brad Parks' fast-paced thriller. Having gained the attention of billionaire alum Sean Plottner and the U.S. Department of Defense for his work, professor Matt Bronik appears to be on the cusp of a major breakthrough when he suffers a seizure, only to awake hours later from a coma-like state with terrible headaches, with doctors none the more wiser as to what caused his condition. But when Matt disappears during another seizure attack and is revealed that three Chinese nationals are behind his abduction, it leads down a twisty route packed with intense suspense, with Parks skilfully juggling multiple plot-lines to a conclusion that stretches the limits of credulity (insensitive use of sexual harassment as a plot device? C'mon!) even as it entertains.
