Quantum Space (Quantum Series)

Interesting book combining quantum science and science fiction that was a compelling and believable story. It keeps your attention and makes first contact an awesome experience. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Great science fiction book and easy to follow and understand. It is always hope that some day, all of part of it becomes reality, and we are able to reach the stars. Thank you for explaining what is real and what is fiction at the end of the book.

I really enjoyed the story. That is the great thing about writing,the author can make anything a reality. I wonder if you're able to change your mind when presented with evidence that conflicts with what you want the truth to be? Hope so.

There is a lot of discussion of quantum theory required to support and explain the action in the book. If you can survive (or embrace) that, the plot is engaging and entertaining. I really enjoyed the book, and I’m looking forward to Quantum Void.

I have several books of his already. He really goes the distance in terms of fiction; yet in a very believable way. Its amazing to see how fiction can be developed in a systematic and logical fashion.
Grat book

Well researched from real science, then expanded to allow space compress, so kudos
I stopped half way thru to read another book and came back to finish. So not a book I couldn’t put down. That said, I still came back to finish.

Science-based, character-driven stories that read well are few and far between. Quantum Space is one of those. The beauty of this one is that it’s hard to find the line between known science and the science fiction developed by the author. They seamlessly merge together into one enjoyable whole. I’m really looking forward to the second installment in the series.

Well!!!! I have to say I found it very hard to put down this book once I started to read. I am looking forward to the next book. I have found a new interest and that is what is going on at CERN, of course there are many stories, however what you have laid out in the basic science I can understand is great, really great.. Thank You

Highly entertaining and intelligent yet very accessible. Very good writing in terms of story, characters, dialogue, and unfolding elements. Looking forward to next installment, and hopefully many more please.

Quantum mechanics and string theory is so bizarre that very little balonium needs to be added to "invent" any number of technologies. Mr. Phillips does a great job of staying in the realm of the plausible while telling an interesting story with likable characters.

I'd but this book in the realm of "technical scifi" The heavy dose of quantum physics dragged down the narrative until mid-book. Then came the big surprise!! This opened the book up for fast paced adventure. Great start for a new author.Looking forward to the next in the series.

Not just fascinating, but hugely educational for the average person like me. It feeds My Hope and many others hope that we are not alone in all of whatever this is. While it is a great story, I now feel like I at least know something about quantum physics. Who knew what was going on behind the scenes. incredible! Science fiction has been incredibly persistent and predicting future inventions. Am I sure hope this story is predicting a way that we can find and communicate with others in our universe. Thank you mr. Phillips

Excellent hard science/fiction book. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down because I had to know what happened next. Very enjoyable story and characters. Looking forward to getting the next book in the series.

Great new science fiction book, like previous reviews slow to start with character development and believable political context and bureaucracy. Good description of the standard model and nice new new plot and story line, I look forward to the sequel.

I've always loved science fiction, but even more so when the fiction part is sprung off of true scientific reality. Not only does it make it more believable, but more relevant as well. Got to go now to read the next installment - Quantum Void

I really dislike writing reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
I've been fascinated with particle physics since high school and I appreciate the author sticking to the real science. And the afterword where he explains what was fiction was excellent.
I'll be reading more of Mr. Phillips' books for sure.

I LOVE science. That is as what I said with tears in my eyes when I finished this book.
Just a note: I read Brian Greene's "The Elegent Universe" on string theory about 6 months ago. It really helped with the first 5 chapters of this book. ( not a prerequisite). What an awesome story. I am so looking forward to Quantum Void. I was so glad to find a sifi story that didn't involve killing .

Well-written, most especially considering the story takes place over only about two days with good character development. I stayed on the edge of my seat and I cannot wait to read the second book. Thank you Doug Phillips!

Deeply complex protagonists with a science fiction plot twisting unexpectedly into the 5th dimension mystery realm.
Brilliant. Highly imaginative. Moving, even inspiring.
I strongly recommend this novel.

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 this story. I got goosebumps from reading it as the story nears a momentous ending.

If you enjoy the SciFi genre, but grow tired of tales that take place in the distant future, you need to check this out. This story could be going on this week, and part of next weeks headlines. While there are slight deviations from known science, they are subtle, and they are acknowledged, so the reader doesn't need to have a detailed understanding of particle physics to enjoy the work. Readers should be prepared to be more curious about the current state of discovery, in that arena, while they wait for the next installment.

My only negative is that I have to wait for Book 2....

If you aren't a fan of quantum theory before you read this book, you will be afterwards. The characters are well drawn and sympathetic. Even the villains think of themselves as heroes, which is as it should be. Douglas Phillips draws you into the story and compels you into turning the next page.

I saw all the stars on this book and decided to give it a go. The story is set near future and the author uses very believable science as the basis of the sci-fi. Enjoyed it and will start the sequel now.

I thought this was going to just another fun fully fictional read. It went way beyond my initial expectations and then some. If you like " What if's" type of stories, this is definitely one you must read. Anxiously awaiting book 2.

Phillips took a scientific subject that I knew nothing about and wove it into an excellent story. If this had been a movie I'd say it had me on the edge of my seat. It was fast paced, never boring and yet he made me care about the characters. At the end he explains what is fact and what is fiction and I really appreciated that. I can't wait for next installment.

I've been wanting to know more about quantum mechanics and the mysteries surrounding this fascinating yet mysterious branch of physics for a while. Science fiction may not seem like a good place to go for info on the real world, but reading about this intriguing science with the dramatic flair and creativity of the author as a guide helps foster a desire to know and read more about the very real science of the quantum world. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

I was fascinated in this read that took my thoughts to another level. All things are possible if you seek the answers. It took very little imagination to clearly see what was being shown. I look forward to book 2.

I have been an avid s.f.reader for
60 years and for the last few years I have been slowly falling out of love with s.f. because it has all been rehashed over and over. Fortunately I stumbled across this book and once again I find myself fascinated and wanting more. Carry on please.

Fantastic imagination taking real science and extending to an entertaining story. I loved it... at least until the last couple of pages that could (should?) have been left out. Even so, the story is otherwise super. Book 2 preordered!

Loved this. The intelligence of the author comes through. I think Mr. Phillips has a little Daniel in him. The story is great, the science is believable (because some of its really real!) and it's fun. Such a good 1st book to find this author with and I can't wait to read and learn more!

Excellent "hard" science fiction. Learned lots of fascinating information I wasn't aware of. There is more truth than fiction in the book than I would have expected. Make sure to read the author's note at the conclusion of the novel.

If you don’t know what Fermi’s Paradox is you need to read the book. The entire book answers the question of why we have not be contacted by Aliens when mathmatically its’ almost certain we are not alone. The Science in SciFi is good. While there are a few curse words the book is safe for younger readers. The hero is intellectual with a hint of masculine and the heroines are both smart first and hot second. I’ll definitly read the second book.

The dimensions opened in quantum space are a new way to look at space travel, a radical departure from most space opera offerings. I found my traditional ideas stretched, and wrestled with the concepts Phillips painstakingly puts forth. The protagonists have an almost poetic underpinning that had me rooting for their success. I enjoyed this book thoroughly.

Not sure where the glowing reviews are coming from on this book, probably faked by paid reviewers. Appears as though the author found some interesting material about the 4th dimension and particle accelerators, then wrote a terrible novel to shoehorn them into. You get what you pay for!

This book is definitely for those who love science fiction as well as those who just want to read an interesting novel that is incredibly thought provoking.
Will be reading the next book as soon as I can get my hands on it. There is so much more to learn.

This was a awe inspiring trip into the crazy laws of quantum physics. There was so much good science mixed up with the sci-fi it's hard to distinguish between the two. Never put it down since I started reading it. Excellent work!

Interesting premise but horrible writing. It is painfully obvious that the overwhelming five star reviews are all paid for. Honestly the reviewers they hired are better fiction writers than the author of the book.

This is a great read. The author based the plot largely on actual science. Of course, he has to add some speculation, but the average reader will learn a lot of science while enjoying a very entertaining book. This is the finest work of science fiction that I have read in many years.

I really enjoyed this book. I love when an author can take science and tech that is new or very new to us and extrapolate that concept and tell a great story with it. I’m looking forward to more from this author.

The characters are a bit simplistic and relationships are pretty much foregone conclusions from the outset, but comparisons to The Martian are otherwise quite apt. I enjoyed it overall, and I'll be reading the sequel.

The story concept is fresh, the science is solid and brilliantly explained in interesting ways. The characters are somewhat under developed yet believable in the context of a fictional sci-fi. I was underwhelmed by some of the descriptive aspects, yet I was excited by every page.

A really scientific book that moves quickly, has great characters, simplifies difficult concepts, and is fun. Who could ask for more? I loved it and can't wait for the next installment. Highly recommended.

Book goes from science fiction, what could be a true story with a Soyuz accident, corporate greed, blackmail, Chinese hacking, and then a great and unexpected ending. One science fiction topic that could be true one day

Douglas Phillips can come up with some weird ideas but this one was truly out of this world. The book involves a lot of things that people should become more familiar with and support as a nation/world.

Really liked the ace of this book and it's old guys as well as the not so nice guys. Just when you think something's about to go wrong it doesn't and visa versa. .nice.
It's a hard to put down book, cannot wait for book 2.

A little disappointed that the author has chosen to perpetuate the myth that U.S law enforcement is inherently racist and therefore the U.S. is also. I have read many titles from this author and enjoyed them very much. I just wanted to read a well written techno-thriller I really didn't want to get into the race bating politics of the liberal left.

I enjoyed the characters, the plot, the story plus the blend of science and speculation. It is well paced with some surprises. The speculations are solid extensions of our current knowledge. I recommend this book.

Such an interesting read if you like science based sci-fi. Great plot with enough science to make it plausible but a fast enough paced story line to keep it interesting. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

I'm especially partial to science fiction that has actual science in it. I also like science fiction that does not ignore the science facts that we do know. This book qualifies on both counts. A fast, very enjoyable read. It is both intriguing and informative. I look forward very much to the next novel in the series.

Other reviewers are correct. It is the science that holds the story together, not the writing. In general I felt little for the characters, and what kept me reading was getting to the end to see how it wrapped up. Unsure whether I will pay to read more. Even at $3.99 on the Kindle, it seems like a stretch.

I found it to be a fun read. For a layman like myself, Mr. Phillips sets out the underlying science in easy to read and digest way. While other writers try and skirt the science in science fiction, the author takes his time to discuss it. He even distinguishes the fact from fiction in his "Afterward". I look forward to reading the next book.

Quantum dynamics can be both enlightening and quite confusing to grasp all at the same time. This book isn’t too heavy which made it really fun to read. I could not put it down and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I read hundreds of books a year. 2 or 3 a week. This is the first time I wrote a review. It was a pain in the ***. the store should let readers just click stars on a page attached to the end of the book, not open new sites. YOU get 5 stars. Loved the physics. Feel special cause I'm never writing another review. Great book.

Great story with good characters. Some of the quantum physics terminology is a bit difficult, but the strong storyline and interesting characters makes this a really entertaining and thought provoking book.

I love a sci-fi tale where the science is not just credible, but the author's enthusiasm for science sizzles off the pages. The characters are likable, and the personal view of foundational events of the future is gripping.

Thought I would never get though the physics part. Put book down twice thinking would never pick up again but if you can stay with it. The author takes you on a great journey. hey and in spite of that you additional learn things.

Absolutely superb! In the vein of clarke's 2001 and sagan's contact this story was a riveting adventure where you also learn a lot along the way. Starting the prequel now and looking very forward to book 2.

So you think you know everything? Reading this book expands your mind into the very curios world of "what if" and "why". My grandson is entering college to study physics and I've highly recommend this book as a primer to get him started wondering why and why not. Thanks for the fun ride!

This is a very well written book that blends the science of particle physics with an intriguing plot. I enjoyed the author's vision of the 4th dimension and his explanation of the Standard Model. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

This book containers all the elements for a good story-great characters, great plot, and lots of suspense. The fact that it is firmly rooted in actual science, and then uses that foundation to create the fiction is icing on the cake.

What a profound book this is. It fits with my views on how our first contact will happen. I read it in two days! You feel the characters right when you meet them. I enjoyed the book more than anything I’ve read over the last few years.

Great story line and persistent tension. Easily one of the best science fiction tales I’ve read in years. Believable characters and circumstances, with a powerful storyline; I couldn’t put it down ... read the entire book in two days.

Nice to find a book that actually uses science as a starting off point. We sure need more books that postulate a scientific principle as the basis of the story instead of all the fantasy that is classified as science fiction.

If you enjoy your science fiction wrapped in reality this book is well worth the read. It explores the strange world of quantum physics, string theory and additional dimensions with a great story line.
