The breathtaking debut from acclaimed short story writer Derek Kunsken. Belisarius is certainly a quantum guy, an constructed Homo quantus who fled the effective understanding of dangerously addictive quantum senses. He found a precarious balance like a con guy, but when a customer presents him untold prosperity to move a squadron of warships across an enemy wormhole, he must embrace his birthright to actually try. In fact, the job is so big that he’ll want a crew built from all the brand-new sub-branches of mankind. If he succeeds, he might cause an interstellar battle, but success might also point the way to the next step of Homo quantus advancement.
