After Q (aka Major Boothroyd) is unexpectedly ousted from his role with British Intelligence developing technologies for MI6's 00 agents, he finds himself back in his sleepy hometown of Wickstone-on-Water. His childhood friend, renowned quantum computer scientist Peter Napier, has died in mysterious circumstances, leaving behind a cryptic note. The police seem uninterested, but Q feels compelled to investigate and soon discovers that Napier's ground-breaking work may have attracted sinister forces . . . Can Q decode the truth behind Napier's death, even as danger closes in?©2025 Ian Fleming Publications Ltd (P)2025 Bonnier Books UK Cosy Espionage Mystery Spies & Politics Thriller & Suspense Traditional Detectives

I have enjoyed Vaseem Khan’s other two very different series set in post independence India and Quantum of Menace is a great introduction to what I hope will be yet another series. It is beautifully written with so much more to think about than what is on the surface. It is also wonderfully narrated by the amazing Alexander Armstrong. I would recommend this book highly. I loved it.
