About the book

The Quantum Magician

Belisarius is a quantum man, an engineered Homo quantus who fled the powerful insight of dangerously addictive quantum senses. He found a precarious balance as a con man, but when a client offers him untold wealth to move a squadron of warships across an enemy wormhole, he must embrace his birthright to even try. In fact, the job is so big that he'll need a crew built from all the new sub-branches of humanity. If he succeeds, he might trigger an interstellar war, but success might also point the way to the next step of Homo quantus evolution.

* The breathtaking debut from acclaimed short story writer Derek Künsken.
* The Quantum Magician is set in the same universe as Derek's Persephone Descending, which appeared in the November, 2014 issue of Analog, as well as stories published in Analog's sister magazine, Asimov's Scenice Fiction.
* "With its audacious con job, scintillating future technology, and meditations on the nature of fractured humanity, The Quantum Magician is a pleasure to read." – Yoon Ha Lee

Hotly anticipated new series following in the genre-busting footsteps of Nine Fox Gambit and Raven Strategem
