Add to basketPaperback. A killer with the perfect alibi: the laws of physics.On an ordinary autumn day, the world witnesses the impossible. Three powerful industrialists die at the exact same second on three different continents. One is vaporized by lightning from a cloudless sky. Another chokes to death while toasting an invisible man. The third dies of a heart attack watching a phantom fall from an empty sky.The world calls it the Trinity Tragedy-a statistical freak, a cosmic mystery. But for two men, it's the first shot in a war they don't yet understand.Miles Finch is a brilliant but disgraced detective, a man of logic who finds himself in a world where logic no longer applies. The case is a mockery of his life's work, a puzzle with no earthly solution that threatens to shatter his mind.Dr. Aldous Quentin is a reclusive theoretical physicist who sees not chaos, but a chillingly precise pattern. He knows the truth is far more terrifying than a random act of God. Reality has been hacked.Together, the skeptic and the visionary uncover a terrifying conspiracy orchestrated by a shadowy corporation that has unlocked the ultimate weapon: a technology that can manipulate quantum probability. They can engineer "freak accidents," trigger global events, and eliminate targets with a power that leaves no evidence and offers no defense.To hunt an enemy who can edit cause and effect, Finch and Quentin must abandon conventional methods and chase clues in the ghostly quantum echoes left behind in the fabric of spacetime. But as they get closer to the architects of this new reality, they discover a force driven by staggering ambition, profound grief, and a power that could make them the new gods of a broken world.Written by a PhD candidate in theoretical physics, Quantamund: The End of Certainty is a mind-bending, high-stakes thriller that fuses the intricate suspense of a detective story with the grand, speculative wonder of hard science fiction. Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Cixin Liu, and Michael Crichton, this is a story that will make you question the very nature of the world around you. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
