## Quantum Incident ## Quantum Incident
The prologue introduces us briefly to a couple of main characters in the subsequent books. Daniel Rice is a science investigator and Nala Pasquier is a scientist in a private organisation working on a government project. We are introduced to a demonstration of interaction between the 4th dimension of space with the real world. The prologue introduces us to a couple of main characters in the subsequent books.

## Quantum Space ## Quantum Space
The 4th dimension of space and its relation with the 3rd dimension is explained in detail. The fiction is well within the imagination of the reader. The premise is that of a Spacecraft accidentally vanishing upon re-entry into orbit. The treatment is an extension of the book *[Flatlands](https://blog.neophyte.me/books/2020/12/17/flatlands/)* and is similar to my previous article *[Science in Fiction](https://blog.neophyte.me/ideas/2022/01/26/sciencefiction/)*. The book mainly deals with 3 characters - Daniel, Nala and Marie, and how they investigate and retrieve the spacecraft.

## Quantum Void ## Quantum Void
This book tries to provide explanations around where the 4th dimension of space exists and what is present around it. I couldn’t wrap my head around this concept and couldn’t make any logical conclusions further down the story based on what was explained previously. There are definitely a few logical inconsistencies over the course of the book. Often the science part is ignored and we are left with plain magic. Some of the scientific explanations did go over my head and sounded like something that the author concocted in an attempt to provide a logical explanation for an extraordinary event.

The probabilities of quantum particles - quantum particles do not have a specific position, but a probability graph on where they could be - applied to the macro world was an amusing part of the story.

There is also an exploration of life on other parts of the Universe that I thoroughly enjoyed reading - especially one from a certain planet. We are also presented with a social hierarchy in that planet and probably a political statement on how the workers are treated in that planet.

2. Scientific method of investigation and research is the way to progress for a society. Scientific discoveries can have major economic impacts and one must not neglect science even in the face of other pressing issues to solve. 2.

As the name suggests, this deals with time travel and, apart from the host of paradoxes that comes with any time travel fiction, this was an entertaining read throughout. The book presents a dark future of totalitarianism in America controlled by a religiously dogmatic “party”. The entire plot with the overlapping events was definitely gripping and stimulating even with a lot of causal paradoxes. The description of the state also gave off similar vibes as the book 1984 by George Orwell.

In my opinion, this trilogy is going to stick out for a long time in its treatment of space time. I would definitely recommend reading this. If you are short on time, I would at least encourage you to pick up Quantum Time (you would have to ignore parts that reference the relationship of the characters from the previous books).
