A Quantum Murder
The second in the classic 'Greg Mendel' series from one of the world's bestselling Science Fiction writers
Dr Edward Kitchener, a brilliant researcher into quantum cosmology for the Event Horizon conglomerate... but no good to anybody now, lying dead with his lungs spread out on either side of his open chest.
The security system at Launde Abbey was premier-grade, yet a mercenary could still have got through, and plenty of people anxious to stop Kitchener’s work would pay the killer’s fee. But why would a professional waste time in ritually slaughtering the target?
Event Horizon needs to know fast, so Greg Mandel, psi-boosted ex-private eye, is enticed out of retirement to launch himself on a convoluted trail involving confrontation with a past which – according to Kitchener’s theories – might never have happened.

Peter F. Hamilton
Peter F. Hamilton's name resonates with fans of sprawling, intricate science fiction tales that blur the boundaries of human ambition, artificial intelligence, and the vast reaches of space. Born in Rutland, England, in 1960, Hamilton has transformed the genre with his ability to weave grand narratives that span centuries and galaxies, all while exploring the intimate threads of human emotion and conflict.
Hamilton’s journey as a writer began in the late 1980s, with his first short story sold to Fear magazine in 1988. But it wasn’t until the release of Mindstar Rising in 1993 that he first captured the imaginations of readers. From there, his reputation skyrocketed, especially with the monumental success of The Night's Dawn Trilogy. This epic space opera marked him as one of the key voices in modern science fiction. His works, often set in detailed universes brimming with complex characters and world-shaking events, quickly made him a fixture on bestseller lists, with millions of copies of his books flying off shelves worldwide.
