English Summary/英文概要: A QUANTUM PHYSICS MURDER MYSTERY.
A Mind-Bending, Near-Future, Science Fiction Technothriller.
Jacob Kelley’s family is turned upside down when an old friend turns up, waving a gun and babbling about an alien quantum intelligence. The mystery deepens when the friend is found dead in an underground bunker…apparently murdered the night he appeared at Jacob’s house. Jacob is arrested for the murder and put on trial.
As the details of the crime slowly come to light, the weave of reality becomes ever more tangled, twisted by a miraculous new technology and a quantum creature unconstrained by the normal limits of space and matter. With the help of his daughter, Alessandra, Jacob must find the true murderer before the creature destroys his family and everything he loves.

At a vast, underground Supercollider facility in New Jersey, two scientists have managed to open a “gate” to a “baby universe” so that quantum behavior at the subatomic level – where matter can be temporarily in more than one place at the same time -- is released into our visible, daily world. The narrator Jacob Kelley has been in contact with one of the physicists who created this and who is found murdered in the lab. Jacob becomes temporarily divided into two persons (upspin and downspin) – the “downspin” Jacob in jail awaiting trial for the murder of the physicist who visited him, and the “upspin” Jacob desperately trying to find the killer and also protect his family from the evil force he calls (from Romanian legend), the “varcolac”. A brilliant “quantum thriller”.
The sequel, SUPERSYMMETRY features Jacob’s daughter, split into 2 people who did not subsequently merge. Ten years later, the sisters must fight another “varcolac”, an unknowable creature from a baby universe who has the power to destroy all humanity. A race against time, with Jacob’s two daughters – one on the police force, the other a physicist --working desperately to stop the varcolac from killing the entire human race.
