The Quantum Series, Books 1 - 3

By: Douglas Phillips

Narrated by: Graham Halstead, Kirby Heyborne, Traci Odom

Forget everything you know about reality. The quantum world doesn't play by those rules.

Daniel Rice is a government science investigator whose specialty is solving seemingly intractable problems through scientific inquiry.

But Daniel's intellectual strength is sorely tested by the bizarre realities he finds in the quantum world. Extra dimensions of space trap the unwary, probability replaces cause and effect, and time isn't what anyone imagined. The other side of the mirror is a place full of dangers, but it's also somewhere a dedicated scientist can uncover secrets that connect humans with something greater.

Really good sci-fi

I took a chance on this 3 book series because hey over 30 hours for 1 credit?! I’ve been burned before by this logic but was pleasantly surprised. This is well thought out, interesting, good plots and pacing, reasonable characters and good use of quantum physicists. The authors commentary at the end of each book is also worth the time. Overall: highly recommended!

Excellent!

Each story in the trilogy gets better. If you like a science based fictional story that stays closer to realistic possibilities to help you expand your own wonder about the universe this is a great tale.

love it

listen to all three titles in 3 days. Great story line through the whole series. if you love science, time travel and quantum physics. you will love this story. author breaks down so e science he put in to the book

Current science-based sci-fi at it’s best

Douglas Phillips has just joined my personal lineage of terrific science-based sci-fi authors, and that’s a string that goes all the way back to Jules Verne. The foundational technologies and most of the characters really brought the stories to life with plenty of intrigue, action and plot twists to move things along at a rapid pace.

Quantum Space and Quantum Void were outstanding! Quantum Time let me down. It was almost as if someone else wrote this one using Douglas Phillips’s outline so they could build in timeworn anti-science religious villains, Handmaid’sTale tropes and prurient sexual inserts. The time travel based plot ultimately kept me going to the conclusion but, in my opinion, the writing of Quantum Time was disappointing. But, that won’t keep me from reading Quantum Entangled, the next installment in the series. The science behind these stories makes my head spin, and thats a rare and very good thing!

Science in the Epilogues Is the Best Part

The three stories that constitute this omnibus edition are each pretty forgettable. The concept behind the whole 4th dimension concept is intriguing but there are many many holes in the science as presented in the stories (for example, how are photons from our plane traveling in a 4th dimensional direction when matter can't?) but most people probably won't be bothered by that stuff. In fairness it's kind of like reading a book about zombies and saying that no infectious agent could ever work like THAT!

So that's not my real beef. The stories are just kind of silly and not that great. The main characters, who are more or less top government scientists on a government mission, basically just go rogue and act completely independently with little thought about how their actions will impact the rest of the country or all of humanity. Alien artifact? Let's start playing around with it and see what it does! There are many similar examples. I get that the write wants to move the story along but this kind of thing started to bug me.

To me the most interesting parts where the epilogues after each story in which the writer discussed the actual science and math behind his stories. Let's get this guy to write a popular science nonfiction book.

WOW!

I purchased and read the trilogy as one continuous book/story. I'm a little sad that it has ended. But now I get to find another Douglas Phillips book to read.

Great fun and I didn’t want to hit “pause”

Great fun and I didn’t want to hit “pause”
Intriguing characters and a grand quantum science adventure. I’ll be re-visiting the books again on my next road trip!

Great except

Love the science stuff it’s great. Booka 1 and 2 are okay. Book 3 gets talking about sex stuff a couple times and it’s just weird.

Great story

I really enjoyed this series. Keep you thinking and always finds a way to keep you entertained!!!

Entertaining

Really enjoyed the science in this fiction. Lots of fun and very thought provoking. I look forward to seeing what else he writes.
