About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The Union-Congregate war rages onward, and the Union's premier fighter pilots, the Homo Eridanus, start encountering deadly resistance from strange pilots on the Congregate side. Among wreckage, they find that new Congregate pilots aren't human, but Homo quantus, with strange wiring and AI connections.

At the same time, the Puppets come to the Union with offers of an alliance for a dangerous price: the rescue of the geneticist Antonio Del Casal who is a captive at Venus, with over a hundred Homo quantus.

The only one who might be able to break through the Congregate defences at Venus is a con man who has given up his profession.

And the story goes on...

The of merry characters from the first book are introduced again. Only this time all more or less doing separate missions with a common goal.

Künske weaves a very enjoyable Space opera. I find hus style of storytelling modt entertaining. He isn't yet on par eit Iain Banks, but if he carries on developing this universe and can keep up with the quality storytelling, he may yet get there.

The narration is as good as in the previous volumes. The audio quality is not. That is the one big minus in this one. Sometimes it is near indecipherable. Sounds like it wasn't done in a studio. Quite possibly it wasn't whatwith the pandemic and all.

Nevertheless, I do hope that Künske keeps the enthralling story going on. Can't wait for the next one, if there will be one.

A great story

The third book was once again a fantastic ride through the world created by the author. The story telling was top notch and voice acting was spot on. Overall brilliant.

A profound and very challenging series. Wonderful

The Quantum War is every bit as challenging and rewarding as the rest of the series. Dealing, as it does with a very plausible yet unimaginable universe. Heavy science, quantum physics, genetic engineering, and simple human narrative are all combined to great effect in this master piece.

Fascinating - But too quiet!

Continues to present and explore some fascinating ideas, with compelling story and characters. The performance remains great, too - but it comes at the cost of our narrator being very soft-spoken. Which would be fine if the audio were balanced to account gor that, but it isn't! I had to keep going back to relisten to things I did not catch.

Not as good

The first story was brilliant, as were the characters. However over the course of trilogy the primary protagonist has gone from a confident, intelligent, street smart man to a whiney, self-loathing, self-indulgent, pathetic emo boy. The higher the stakes go, the more useless and annoying Belisarius becomes.
