About this ebook
"The good thing is, no one will ever die again. The bad thing is, everyone will want to."
A physicist receives a mysterious paper. The ideas in it are far, far ahead of current thinking and quite, quite terrifying. In a city of "fast ones," shadow players, and jinni, two sisters contemplate a revolution.
And on the edges of reality a thief, helped by a sardonic ship, is trying to break into a Schrödinger box for his patron. In the box is his freedom. Or not.
Jean de Flambeur is back. And he's running out of time.
In Hannu Rajaniemi's sparkling follow-up to the critically acclaimed international sensation The Quantum Thief, he returns to his awe-inspiring vision of the universe...and we discover what the future held for Earth.

I really enjoyed The Quantum Thief and was rather looking forward to this book but it still took me a few dozen pages to really get hooked on this second book. The story didn't feel quite as tight, but the new sets and the development of the overarching storyline made up for that. I can't wait for the third chapter in this series!

Had I not read The Quantum Thief before this work, I would have found it tough going. As it were, I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Mieli amd her ship, the pellegrini and the Sobornost. I look forward to reading more novels by Hannu Rajaniemi.
