Quantum Space – Douglas Phillips
Space turned out to be deeper than anyone imagined.
High above the windswept plains of Kazakhstan, three astronauts on board a Russian Soyuz capsule begin their reentry. A strange shimmer in the atmosphere, a blinding flash of light, and the capsule vanishes in a blink as though it never existed.
On the ground, evidence points to a catastrophic failure, but a communications facility halfway around the world picks up a transmission that could be one of the astronauts. Tragedy averted, or merely delayed? A classified government project on the cutting edge of particle physics holds the clues, and with lives on the line, there is little time to waste.
Daniel Rice is a government science investigator. Marie Kendrick is a NASA operations analyst. Together, they must track down the cause of the most bizarre event in the history of human spaceflight. They draw on scientific strengths as they plunge into the strange world of quantum physics, with impacts not only to the missing astronauts, but to the entire human race.
If you liked the authenticity of The Martian, the page-turning pace of Da Vinci Code, and the inspirational world view of Arthur C. Clarke, you'll love Quantum Space. A mind-bending journey from the ultra-small to the vast stage of the Milky Way.

“Dazzling tale of weird science” - Publisher's Weekly
“Quantum Space is well-crafted, fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat entertaining!” - Robin Praytor, author of the Dark Landing series.
“If you are a fan of Ben Bova, David Brin or Greg Bear this is a book for you.” – BB&C
“Highly enjoyable, highly recommended. Now if you will excuse me, I have two more Quantum novels to read and not a lot of time (speaking in relative terms)…” – Catcher
“Quantum physics explained well with a great plot and characters. It is a great escape in times like these, cerebral with little sex and no violence!” – Jane Rubisch
“Could not put it down. Very believable. Loved it and as a person who wanted to be an astrophysicist but did not have enough smarts, the real science was a joy.” – Amazon customer
“Thought provoking, fast paced adventure into multi dimensions. I loved the physics explanations at the end of the book.” – DDC
“Fast paced, excellent character development, full of suspense with climactic moments that were compelling along with a great resolution. Great storytelling! Just finished and I'm already starting your next book.” – Lyn Blair
“Firmly rooted in real science, not the technological fantasy that passes for most of sci-fi these days. The story was well developed, good characters, great plot. My only complaint was that the novel read way too quick.” – Ian Adams
“The protagonists have an almost poetic underpinning that had me rooting for their success. I enjoyed this book thoroughly.” – J. Kareski
“Favorite book of the year.” – Karen
“Astonishing story. Rooted in real science, yet goes far beyond in a believable way. Not enough superlatives in my language to favorably comment on this story. Isaac Asimov would have loved it.” – James F. Goughenour
“This is probably one of the most entertaining and intellectually stimulating sci-fi stories that I’ve read in a very long time… and I read a LOT!” – Jason Blackford
“Had a hard time putting this book down. Going to grab the second one right now!” – Karl
“This book is a fascinating story about quantum physics, human curiosity, and a stretch into the currently unknown. A definite MUST READ for anyone with a curious mind about our universe.” – Paula Edwards
“The story is great, the science is believable (because some of it’s really real) and it’s fun.” – kero937
“This is the best hard science fiction book I’ve encountered since Sagan’s Contact!” – Mike Pluta

Biography: Douglas Phillips is the best selling author of the Quantum Series, science fiction thrillers set in the fascinating world of particle physics where bizarre is an everyday thing. In each story, the pace is quick and the protagonists - along with the reader - are drawn deeper into mysteries that require intellect, not bullets, to resolve. Doug has two science degrees, has designed and written predictive computer models, reads physics books for fun and peers into deep space through the eyepiece of his backyard telescope. Doug splits his time between Seattle and Tucson, travels the world with his wife, hikes with his two sons, and becomes a child all over again with his grandchildren.
