I grew up in a household where transmission of radio signals was part of our daily life. My father spent his life researching radio signals, and having spent the last few months writing about his career, I felt as if this book was calling my name.
It has the writing style of a Dan Brown blockbuster with particle physics and the existence of a multiverse taking the place of cryptic symbols and religion. The plot line is complex, and it's a big book at 500 pages, but everything moves along at pace and has plenty to keep the reader's interest.
Tyson Klein is a quantum physicist working with the Large Hadron Collider and in the course of his work he has discovered sub atomic particles that appear to be carrying some kind of radio signal. It soon becomes clear that the signals carry a code that could have moved across space and time, and Ty's DNA is identified by the message along with three other people who all have skills that will help save the planet in the quest that follows.
Ty's findings are so valuable that his life is soon in danger as enemy forces attempt to take control of his research so he must race to decipher the downloaded code sequence before anyone else and there will only be one chance to get it right.
This is likely to be the first in a series of books about the Multiverse and Riddle has left a few unanswered questions at the end to be picked up in the next volume. It's a modern day thriller blended with space/time fantasy and four people on a quest to save the world. Its well thought out and there are plenty of scientific terms to give it credibility but I did find part of the ending to be a little too easily achieved. Not sure that I liked it enough to carry on with the series.
