About this listen

High above the windswept plains of Kazakhstan, three astronauts on board a Russian Soyuz capsule begin their reentry. 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, evidence points to a catastrophic failure, but a communications facility halfway around the world picks up a transmission that could be one of the astronauts. Tragedy averted, or merely delayed? A classified government project on the cutting edge of particle physics holds the clues, and with 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 the most bizarre event in the history of human spaceflight. They draw on scientific strengths as they plunge into the strange world of quantum physics, with impacts not only to the missing astronauts, but to the entire human race.

Overall easy read with mind bending science in a real world setting. Paradigm shift in space travel.

Really interesting science!

I've got well over 200 titles in my library, of which at least 160 are hard scifi - my favorite genre.
I'd say that this author is on par with "the Martian" when it comes to building interest, suspense and keeping you glued to the story the whole way through... and as far as the science goes it's obviously a lot more fantastical and out there but it really tries to stay grounded in the world of current theoretical physics (quantum/particle physics) though without blabbering on about it too deep.
Scientist or not there's no difficult following on with the excellent narrative here.
I cannot reccomend this any more.. it's definitely in the top 10 on audible for this genre.
The hardest thing to understand in this book and the rest in the series is how it has such little attention!

Amazing hard scifi crazy this hasn't blown up!

I hope this story will become reality.

Sci-fi that is so believable.

I liked it but the story was a little slow and took awhile to get going. Narration could of been better. Will try the next one.
