Great, quick introduction with a full story and some closed ends so that if the sequel never comes I'll be fine.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Drug abuse

The story is more positive than The deeper, almost dark The Long Earth series by Pratchett and Baxter.

4 stars, Strangers Together

QUANTUM RADIO
by A.G. Riddle

Four strangers come together because of the discovery of Dr. Ty Klein, a quantum physicist. The announcement of the discovery, brings four strangers together, who must work together if they are going to survive what comes next.

There was a lot of technical wording that I passed over, that didn't interest me. I lost interest in about the middle of the book but got interested in it again, then I was slightly disappointed at the ending. I can see where the technical terms would appeal to someone else.

I received a complimentary copy of #quantumradio from #netgalley #HeadOfZeus I was under no obligation to post a review. #agriddle

The writing is pedantic. Contact meets Stargate meets Man in the High Castle for a plot that is slow and repetitive.

3.0

definitely an attempt to be crichton-esque, but for me, it lacked the focus and propulsion that his books always had, for better or for worse -- without spoiling the book, it's just such a sprawling story and it just feels like the 500+ pages the author used to set up what is clearly meant to be a series could've been better used
