Quantum Void

Quantum Series, Book 2

By: Douglas Phillips

Narrated by: Traci Odom

Eight months after the astounding discoveries made at Fermilab....

Particle physics was always an unlikely path to the stars, but with the discovery that space could be compressed, the entire galaxy had come within reach. The technology was astonishing, yet nothing compared to what humans encountered 4,000 light-years from home. Now, with an invitation from a mysterious gatekeeper, the people of Earth must decide if they're ready to participate in the galactic conversation.

The world anxiously watches as a team of four katanauts suit up to visit an alien civilization. What they learn on a watery planet hundreds of light-years away could catapult human comprehension of the natural world to new heights. But one team member must overcome crippling fear to cope with an alien gift she barely understands.

Back at Fermilab, strange instabilities are beginning to show up in experiments, leading physicists to wonder if they ever really had control over the quantum dimensions of space.

Fairly fun read, but not great. Narrator too...

This book is pretty good, fun, but has some lightweight parts. Weaknesses.
What I struggle with is this narrator... She does a good job overall, but virtually all the male voices, at virtually all times, speak in this constantly annoying minor tone, in a thrusting-lunging sort of rhythm, often sound, amongst other adjectives (besides unrealistic and unnatural) gruff, short and angry, sullen or brooding--or just simply like rude pushy jerks or assholes!
She is, sadly, very annoying to listen to as there are quite a few male voices. I have listened to her before and had the same problem. Please study and improve on your impressions of men's attitudes, tone, sound and manner of speaking!

An intriguing mystery and sci-fi adventure.

A great sci-fi book based solidly on real science. In fact, a good premer on quantum mechanics. Be sure to catch the author’s remarks on the real science and construction of our universe home.

Great story to follow up the first book!

I am thoroughly enjoying this book series both in content and writing style. I did like the original reader better, Traci does a great job reading female voices but her male voices are all monotone and hard to discern between in my opinion.

very original. The characters were consistant.

A few parts were were too long. like the running . The alien head band was accepted too fast, I was shocked that the astronauts were not more carful.

A worthy addition to the genre.

I enjoyed the characters and the universe built by the author. While this story line wraps up nicely there is room for a sequel. The blend of real physics and imagery physics is well done. I will certainly purchase the next book if there is one. The narrator is good and does add a bit to the story. Overall well done.
