His childhood friend, renowned quantum computer scientist Peter Napier, has died in mysterious circumstances, leaving behind a cryptic note.

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.

Thoughtful entertainment
