FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LOST IN TIME At CERN, a scientist has just made an incredible discovery – a breakthrough that may answer the deepest questions about human existence. But what he's found is far more dangerous than he ever imagined. Dr. Tyson Klein is a quantum physicist who has dedicated his entire life to his research. At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio. Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely? As Ty peels back the layers of his discovery, he learns that what he's found isn't what he thought it was. The encoded message is far more profound. It may alter our understanding of human existence and the universe. But Ty is not the only one looking for it. Someone has been following his research for a long time. And they'll do anything to prevent him from unravelling what is being broadcast by the quantum radio... Because the first one to discover the truth may well control the future.

The first in a series, but has a concrete ending.
This book is like a 3.5.
My first book by A.G. Riddle, it's pretty good. Full of big ideas, good plot twists, solid interpersonal scenes, characters with discernable texture. But the infodumps - they're without parallel. At one point, two characters literally read half a century of world history from a museum display and later, another character reads the national history book to fill in the section that had been missing in the museum. This covered 10s of pages.
I'll probably give book 2 a chance, though I'm probably not going to go back and try out earlier books by the author.
