Forget everything you know about reality. The quantum world doesn't play by those rules. Daniel Rice is a government science investigator whose specialty is solving seemingly intractable problems through scientific inquiry. But Daniel's intellectual strength is sorely tested by the bizarre realities he finds in the quantum world. Extra dimensions of space trap the unwary, probability replaces cause and effect, and time isn't what anyone imagined. The other side of the mirror is a place full of dangers, but it's also somewhere a dedicated scientist can uncover secrets that connect humans with something greater. If you liked the authenticity of The Martian , the page-turning pace of Da Vinci Code , and the inspirational world views of Arthur C. Clarke and Carl Sagan, you'll love The Quantum Series . A mind-bending journey from the ultra-small to the vast stage of the Milky Way. Acclaim for The Quantum Series Awarded the indieBRAG Medallion for 2018 "Dazzling tale of weird science" - Publisher's Weekly "I can't recall when I last enjoyed a hard science series as much as this one. The concepts were astounding, the characters were easily believable, and the action emotionally driven. Very hard to put down. It kept me reading half the night. You'll be thinking about the far out science ideas promulgated in this series for a long time." - Chuck Juzek "A great story, no hatred, no evil people trying to destroy others, just a wonderful adventure with a fantastic outcome." - Ric Mannen "Fermi's Paradox is finally explained." - PE Gwinn "An exciting plot that kept me glued to my chair instead of mowing the lawn." - PE Gwinn "Probably one of the most entertaining and intellectually stimulating stories I've read in a long time... and I read a LOT!" - Jason Blackford "Great story that proves the universe is indeed full of magic!" - Rand "The protagonists have an almost poetic underpinning that had me rooting for their success." - J. Kareski "BTW, all three books show respect and admiration for women scientists as well as men." - Robin C. "Mr. Phillips is the only person who explained quantum physics to me in a way that was not only understandable but entertaining." - Edward L. Heins High above the windswept plains of Kazakhstan, a Russian Soyuz capsule drops toward Earth. Onboard are three astronauts returning from the International Space Station. A strange shimmer in the atmosphere, a blinding flash of light, and the capsule vanishes in a blink as though it never existed. On the ground, stress levels spike as evidence points to a catastrophic reentry failure. But more than an hour later, a communications facility in Australia picks up a voice transmission that sounds like one of the astronauts. The voice of a dead man? In Washington, the National Security Advisor launches a team to investigate. The reentry tragedy could be something else and a classified government project on the cutting edge of quantum physics may hold the clues. With astronauts' lives on the line, there is little time to waste. Daniel Rice is a government science investigator. Marie Kendrick is a NASA operations analyst. Together, they must track down the cause of what could be the most bizarre event in the history of human spaceflight. They draw on scientific strengths in an intense plunge deep into the strange world of quantum physics, with impacts not only to the three missing astronauts, but to the entire human race
