Publisher's Summary
The breathtaking debut from acclaimed short story writer Derek Kunsken
Belisarius is a quantum man, an engineered Homo quantus who fled the powerful insight of dangerously addictive quantum senses. He found a precarious balance as a con man, but when a client offers him untold wealth to move a squadron of warships across an enemy wormhole, he must embrace his birthright to even try. In fact, the job is so big that he'll need a crew built from all the new sub-branches of humanity. If he succeeds, he might trigger an interstellar war, but success might also point the way to the next step of Homo quantus evolution.

Amazing hard SF heist
If you like hard SF and trippy science, this book is for you. It’s also a very fun heist story that is thoroughly enjoyable even if you can’t follow the science. A brilliant debut novel from a skilled SF writer. The narrator is also phenomenal; such a rich and varied performance. I love this book.

Better than people say it is!
Listened to this book and found all the hard science awesome to listen to. A listen that challenged my understanding of storytelling and science which was refreshing. Excellent world building. Worth the listen. Moving on to number 2.

Hard SF Never Tasted So Good
What a surprise. The depth and breadth of this story is so complex yet so fun. Like 40k but with humour. Like... There is a race of French Canadians who speak French 8.1, swear en francais colis. I'd give this another 5 stars if I could.

Great find
The book was much better than I expected it to be. More and more was slowly revealed about the wonderful world the author created.

Hard to follow - maybe it gets better eventually
I saw the reviews on this a long time ago, they were terrible, so I did not bother to download it. Recently it started showing up on my recommended list, the reviews on it were very positive, so, sheep that I am, I downloaded it, forgetting about the earlier reviews. I can safely say, the early reviews were spot on. The book is incomprehensible - I am returning it, I cannot even get to the end of chapter one!
