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.

“Quantum Radio” by A.G. Riddle is a spell-binding epic filled with science, history, and enough plot twists to keep you up late into the night. The book is a clever take on an alternate history without ever straying from the present. The drama is high, the conflict is gripping, and the mirror it holds to the world warrants a careful look.
The story follows Dr. Ty Vogel, a quantum physicist working at CERN who made an incredible discovery using a computer algorithm. He identified a pattern in the sub-atomic particles being generated by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This pattern is a data transmission across space and time – a signal being broadcast by a sort of…quantum radio. That signal – and the message it carries – will change the world forever.
Some reviewers have praised the book for its heart and character development, while others have criticized it for straying too far from its sci-fi premise and becoming more of an alternate historical fiction where the Nazis won World War II.
Overall, “Quantum Radio” is an engaging read that offers a unique perspective on history and science.
Quantum Radio is a sci-fi thriller. I would love to recommend this book to people who are interested in quantum mechanics.
However, I would even more recommend this book to WWII history nerds. The plot ends up revolving around some alternate history ideas, and it gets deep in the weeds there. At many points, it feels more like a alternate history adventure than a sci-fi thriller.
This novel has an intriguing premise and consistent pacing. I could barely put it down! It balances its point-of-views well, and each protagonist gets their own character development arc.
In the end, the novel very clearly sets up for many more adventures in the series. I felt like this fizzled the finale a little, as I realized that many of the items teased throughout the novel would not be getting resolved anytime soon.
A review including this book will be on my Youtube channel in the coming weeks, at https://youtube.com/@ChloeFrizzle
Thanks to Head of Zeus and Netgalley for a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.
