About this listen

The stunning, critically-acclaimed follow-up to best-selling The Quantum Magician

The Ultimate Chase

Days ago, Belisarius pulled off the most audacious con job in history. He's rich, he's back with the love of his life, and best of all, he has the Time Gates, arguably the most valuable things in existence. Nothing could spoil this...except the utter destruction of his people and the world they lived on.

To save them, he has to make a new deal with the boss he just double-crossed, to travel back in time and work his quantum magic once again, tracking down the source of the wormholes.

If he can avoid detection, dodge paradox, and stay ahead of the eerie, relentless Scarecrow, he might just get back to his own time alive.

If you enjoyed the creativity and philosophical physics of the first book in this series, but not the "heist" cliches, then you will love this sequel. There are so many awe inspiring moments, expertly performed, especially the "garden" of the book's title, and no shying away from the messy morality of life in a quantum cosmos, where our actions can be both right and wrong at the same time. Highly recommended.

Even better than the Quantum magician

T. Ryder Smith does a superb job narrating, just as he did with the first book, but whoever edited the recording did not pull their weight. Silences sometimes linger too long, so that it seems like you've reached the end of a chapter when you're actually in the middle of it, and dialogue pacing is spoiled so that you can't always tell when someone new is speaking.

This is no slight on Mister Smith's performance, and it is absolutely not a criticism of Mister Kunsken's writing. I recommend this book as much as Quantum Magician (wholeheartedly!), but I don't recommend this audio as much as its predecessor.

great storytelling marred by a bad audio edit
