Quantum: A Thriller | Patricia Cornwell
5 posts | 13 read | 6 to read
On the eve of a top secret space mission, Captain Calli Chase detects a tripped alarm in the tunnels deep below a NASA research center. A NASA pilot, quantum physicist, and cybercrime investigator, Calli knows that a looming blizzard and government shutdown could provide the perfect cover for a sabotage, with deadly consequences. As it turns out, the danger is worse than she thought. A spatter of dried blood, a missing security badge, a suspicious suicide -- a series of disturbing clues point to Calli's twin sister, Carme, who's been MIA for days. Desperate to halt the countdown to disaster and to clear her sister's name, Captain Chase digs deep into her vast cybersecurity knowledge and her painful past, probing for answers to her twin's erratic conduct. As time is running out, she realises that failure means catastrophe -- not just for the space program but for the safety of the whole nation.

Very repetitive and not much happening. I read until the end because I wanted to know what was in the Yellow Submarine.

tessavi But not even that was revealed 👎 4y

A new main character Captain Chase. Set in Virginia, she works for NASA. Her sister is missing, there are dead bodies showing up.
I've read Patricia Cornwell books since the '90s and this one will satisfy your Cornwell addiction.

Although quite a departure from Kay Scarpetta,this new character had some promise. At times the story seemed a bit weak and not the usual work that I expect from Ms. Cornwell. It was an enjoyable read. I look forward to seeing how she developes this character.

Mehso-so

Borderline science fiction by Patricia Cornwall, includes rather a large part of medical examiner activity in the story, not much science fiction yet. I have read about half the book so far. Interesting story, some fascinating characters and technology but where is she going with it? Only one mention of any idea which could develop into science fiction so far.

TrishB I read about 50 pages and just couldn‘t get it! Not gone back to it yet. 5y
